Putin’s incompetence has been exposed countless times since his invasion of Ukraine began. Lucky for the world. Matched only by Biden’s incompetence to take advantage of it. Unlucky for the world. The war should have ended when Poland offered Zelenskyy its MiG-29 fleet against Putin’s Potemkin military. But Biden was cowed by a coward.

When Biden went to Kiev, I was hoping for a “Tear down this wall!” moment; an "Ich bin ein Berliner!" moment. I was hoping he’d simply say, “Putin, get out of Ukraine!” or at least, “Slava Ukraini!” But no. Just incremental timidity.

Now we wait for Trump’s handling of Putin. It’s anybody’s guess what will happen next.
