Putin is starting to back down, Thank you president Biden, great job.

[fightforfreedom]

The president of Ukraine, people of Ukraine, have shown great courage, it brings tears to my eyes. However, Biden deserves a lot of credit for quickly uniting the world against Putin. Supplying the weapons that helped the Ukrainians fight. Putting in place sanctions that hurt Russia badly.

We don't know how this is going to end yet. One thing is for sure, Putin is not going to take over all of Ukraine and Biden is a big reason why.

1. Joe Biden is the best President of my lifetime.

I don't trust Putin even a little bit but this might be very good news.

Anastasia Yalanskaya lives on.

2. Putin is a liar and can't be trusted.

[DFW]

10. And NOBODY should ever forget that

If Putin retreats, accepts a face-saving settlement he is inwardly furious with, look for Invasion 2.0 right around this time next year.

[PatSeg]

18. Yes, he can never be trusted

It doesn't matter what he says during negotiations, he is proven liar.

3. Spiking the ball

before crossing into the end zone is bad form. But JB does appear to be doing a great job.

4. JB sent his finest VP to gather Allies & carry out the only plan Putin would react to.

Thanks NATO, Thank you VP Harris, & Thank You President Joe Biden!

Biden's Foreign Policy chops is unmatched.
Bet Vlad crapped himself the night of Jan 6, when Speaker Pelosi called her House in session & sealed his fate.

5. under the exact same scenarios, the media would be sucking Trump's balls right now

sorry for the visual

6. He's backing down from mounting a ground attack on Kyiv.

But I don't expect attacks on Kharkiv or Mariupol to relent any time soon, unfortunately.

And Kyiv could still be subjected to air strikes. I mean, Lviv has been subjected to air strikes and it's over 300 miles from the nearest Russian infantry soldier.

That being said, I'm glad the Ukrainians have appeared to repelled a full-fledged ground assault on Kyiv, which is just an absolutely stunning city.

And a continued thanks to our President as well.

7. Not ONE WORD from my Trumpy neighbor!! Heh, heh...

He is remarkably ABSENT from Facebook today. Must be busy-busy-busy today!

I swear that man LIVES for gotchas of Biden and the Democrats in general.

Oh well, maybe it's time to bash our Dem governor or our two Dem senators or our Dem House member...Dems, Dems, Dems as far as the eye can see here in Jolly New Haven...

8. We must not end sanctions.

Even if Russia completely pulls out of Ukraine, the economic pressure must remain on Putin until he is gone.

[CentralMass]

11. The cost of rebuilding Ukraine will be massive.

[onetexan]

19. precisely, which is why Putin & his comrades in crime must be made to make reparations.

Their assets must be seized & handed to UKR to rebuild the devastated country.

[BradAllison]

9. Careful

They have lied their whole way thru this thing. Even lied about what they were bombing while the world watched.

[lark]

12. Putin is pretending to back down, but intends to come roaring back ASAP.

All he has to do is get drumpf a win and he can reconstitute by force the old USSR, or so he thinks.

[Darwins_Retriever]

13. Don't give the GQP any ideas

They will end up on every news show talking how Putin is backing down. Putin does not want to be seen as backing down. He wants to be seen as the winner. If he thinks the world is looking at him as backing down he will invade more countries.

[wnylib]

17. They already have those ideas.

[taxi]

14. That's what being a leader is all about

Without a definitive course of action by the US, the EU and other allies would need to reach a concensus or each choose to act independently. Instead, Biden was right there with a ready-to-go plan that was easy to get behind. Putin did not expect an administration that was able to operate without the protagonists and bad actors being informed of the new game plan.

[onetexan]

20. agree, and to all the naysayers about his "gaffe" it was no gaffe. Putin wld not have backed down if

MoJoe did not serve notice in such strong terms as he did.

[lindysalsagal]

15. Also, partly because Biden didn't make it about himself, Vlad can save some face

Thus, the wisdom of Joe Biden.

[NNadir]

16. I agree.

[Ohioboy]

21. Biden calling out Putin for what he is gives morale support to Ukraine

Can you imagine having a US president praising Putin? Just imagine how demoralizing that would be. Oh wait...

[SheltieLover]

22. Ty, Joe!

[Joinfortmill]

23. Biden just magnificient.
