Joe Biden Outclassed by Vladimir Putin Who is Running Rings Effortlessly in the Ukraine Stand-Off

In the ongoing Ukraine standoff, a chimed observed that Russian President Vladimir Putin gives Joe Biden a run for his money.

Nile Gardiner, a Washington-based political analyst, stated the US president is out of his league, as the Kremlin allegedly masses troops on the Ukraine border. He made this assessment and thinks it might not be suitable for the allies, and the US needs to keep its affairs in order.

Putin Confuses the Allies

Gardiner, who worked for Margaret Thatcher, is rooted in several causes, and the coming war in Ukraine shows how ruling elites' borders on an appeasement mindset. But what is more disturbing is Biden's leadership that does not look strong in the eyes of allies and adversaries, reported the Express UK.

Furthermore, Putin has more than 150,000 troops on the border shared with Ukraine, and Joe Biden is not doing anything much in the White House.

Gardiner remarks that Vladimir Putin dismisses and feels weakness, a pushover US leader trying to keep afloat as a failing domestic agenda.

The White House does not exhaust all means to stop an invasion as Washington spreads hysteria over an alleged Russian juggernaut regarding reactive foreign policy. The US instead looks incapable, unlike the way it was before.

Compared to his successor, former President Donald Trump would not hesitate to apply lethal force against Putin, says the Gardiner, even told Germany it's a bad idea to have Nord Stream 2. Foreign policy is predictable in the Ukraine standoff, and it does not have force behind it.

US, EU Allies To Sanction Russia

The political commentator wrote in the Telegraph why Putin is getting his cake and eating it. Biden allowed the Nord Stream 2 pipeline to continue, and it is the best bet of the Kremlin to have a stranglehold on Europe, a geopolitical tool to squeeze the bloc.

These advantages are a big deal to encourage Moscow to further its actions, seeing how Washington is lethargic. The defeat and pull out of the US in the most disgraceful manner from Afghanistan due to the decisions of Biden made the Kremlin push to the Ukraine predicament that America cannot fight.

Gardiner says that Joe Biden is not on par with extraordinary presidents, too short-sighted in goals. Still, worse is he cannot allegedly decipher foreign policy leading to dreadful errors.

A natural leader would be in Europe to perk up allies to be more steadfast against the Russian bear, but he's sinking in polls. Add that to the left-oriented politics of the Democrat party, which are ejected.

US and EU allies say that sanctions will come, with Kyiv asking to activate them. A free world needs the strong US to keep order, but America is getting derailed by the Biden administration.

According to Josep Borrell, an EU foreign policy official, there will be no sanction on Russia yet, cited The Kyiv Independent. He told Ukraine to be less hysterical about an alleged invasion.

Gardiner thinks the Ukraine standoff where Putin is sure of what he'll do next and that Joe Biden exudes less statesmanship as the Russian leader has been one up on all his strategies.
