President Biden Needed the Ukraine/Russia Conflict Like a Hole in the Head – Opinion

The situation between Ukraine and Russia isn’t doing much for President Joe Biden, when it comes to public perceptions of his competence as the leader of the free world. Numerous polls since the beginning of the conflict have shown that Americans view the Commander-in-Chief as an increasingly weak leader. It doesn’t appear his administration has any way to change this perception.

A Gallup poll conducted between Feb. 1 through Feb. 17 showed that only 40 percent of the populace approves of Biden’s performance when it comes to foreign affairs. Even worse, only about 36 percent favored his handling of “the situation with Russia.”

As if that weren’t bad enough, a Harvard-Harris survey published on Friday revealed that 62 percent of respondents believed that if former President Donald Trump had been in the White House, Russian President Vladimir Putin would not have moved against Ukraine. This view was shared by 38% of Democrats, which is quite interesting.

But that’s not all, folks.

About 33 percent of Americans said they approved of Biden’s approach to the conflict, according to a Washington Post – ABC News poll, which also found 47 percent indicating Biden’s handling of the matter was so abysmal that Taylor Swift could have done a better job. Ok, that’s a little exaggerated.

But even worse for Biden is that 48 percent of Americans believe America’s leadership on the international stage weakened under the geriatric authoritarian who is currently occupying the White House. Only 23 percent actually believed it had become stronger, which is evidence that Biden’s crack pipe program has been a resounding success.

These numbers are likely to fall further as the situation continues. This would be quite an achievement. If the American media cannot spin the story enough to convince the public that Biden isn’t screwing the pooch in this matter, then you can be sure Biden and his band of Democrats have more problems than Rep. Eric Swalwell who is being wooed by a Chinese agent.

Let’s face it: Biden has led the Democratic Party into an utter disaster during his first year in office, and it does not appear the left will be able to dig themselves out of the hole anytime soon. Already the botched withdrawal in Afghanistan was a disaster. Biden’s weakness when it comes to Ukraine and Russia is simply inexcusable. South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem condemned the president for incompetence. “The last 48 hours has shown us what happens when America projects weakness,” she said. “That is exactly what President Biden has done.”

Now the big question is, how much worse can this presidency turn out?
