I only recently became aware of the fact that the USA had to offer tit for tat to secure the Cuba missile stand down and even after the secret agreement that they would remove their Turkish based missiles became public knowledge, they played it down saying they were old stock. Nonetheless this indicates the influence and power of political image and how it trumps common sense ,truth and morality every time.
Consequently I continue to believe the Biden has not performed in the interest of the “rest”of the world in his dealing with Putin who we ( and Biden) know to be a problematic man, at best.
Was it more important to score points off a self conscious and introverted leader (and nation) than to negotiate peace. It was absolutely clear to all ,and Biden said so himself many times,that there would be war and yet he,Biden, stirred up the “madman” Putin all the way.
We should not allow the USA to speak for the free world and need a better UN to do so .I do not support or condone what Putin has done but am critical of where “our” representatives have put us.
Oh ,and that includes our own dear government.
