BIDEN’S BIG BACKFIRE
Last week I gave a talk at the American Moment conference in D.C. in which I compared Biden’s claims at the beginning of the Ukraine War to how it has actually turned out.
I explained how Biden’s policy has backfired in 4 key areas:

3 most likely outcomes of Ukraine War:
1. Forever War - Russian mobilization reestablishes stalemate.
2. Nuclear War - Ukrainian counter-offensive keeps winning; Russia uses nukes to defend Crimea.
