The truth is Biden has made hard intelligence public, transparently - and it turned out true, it has boxed Putin in, he’s rallied nato and the world community and handled this crisis with a sure even hand.
JUST imagine if trump were still president, actually you don’t have to, just read his statements

A brutal poll number for Joe Biden
Chris Cillizza
CNN Editor-at-large
Fri February 25, 2022
(CNN)Joe Biden has been president for a little over a year. And that year was not kind to him.
In a new NPR/PBS/Marist College poll, more than half -- 56% -- of Americans said that Biden's first year in office was a "failure," while just 39% described it as a success.
The news doesn't get better the more you dig into the survey. Two-thirds of independents said Biden's first year was a failure, while more than 9 in 10 Republicans (91%) agreed with that assessment. |

. (Reuters) -Former President Donald Trump condemned on Saturday Russia's invasion of Ukraine and said he was praying for Ukrainians . . .
Trump expressed empathy for Ukrainians and this time praised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, calling him "brave" as he stays in Kyiv, the capital.
"The Russian attack on Ukraine is appalling. We are praying for the proud people of Ukraine. God bless them all," Trump said. |

Correction: Putin invaded Ukraine because he believed Trump had weakened NATO, split the allies, and divided America.

Trump if re-elected would have withdrawn the USA from NATO, as he had threatened.
Trump had arms for Ukraine removed from the Republican Party platform as a candidate, Congress had to make arms for Ukraine veto proof and add provisions to prevent the Trump administration from holding up the aid.

he threatened to get those European countries to commit more...seems like he was right about a lot...
NOV 2018 MILITARY TIMES
President Donald Trump on Monday unloaded on the U.S.’s European allies, and appeared to threaten to pull out of NATO, French President Emmanuel Macron openly rebuked Trump’s political philosophy in a speech the day before.
The U.S. by far spends the most in NATO, both on its own defense budget and on programs to increase the readiness and capabilities of its European allies.
In 2014, NATO countries agreed to raise their defense spending to 2 percent of gross domestic product by 2024. So far, only five countries — mainly in eastern and central Europe where the threat of Russia looms large — have met that pledge.
Since his campaign days, Trump has demanded NATO countries meet that 2 percent figure, or even double it, immediately.
Germany, Europe's biggest economy, has expressed little interest in hitting that benchmark.
Greece is one of the few NATO countries that meet the 2percent spending mark, but it spends much of that on pensions. |
