‘Inadequate,’ ‘Isn’t Strong Enough’
Posted By: Imright, 2/22/2022 1:52:38 PM
MSNBC “Morning Joe” co-host on Tuesday suggested President Joe Biden’s strategy and handling of the escalating tensions between Ukraine and Russia have been “inadequate” and not “strong enough.”Brzezinski cited foreign policy expert Michael McFaul and Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) describing Russia entering the two separatist territories in eastern Ukraine as an “invasion.” She questioned if the troops entering Ukraine made the possibility for a “full-scale invasion” inevitable.“[I] just want to ask you, would you describe the Biden strategy so far as passive deterrence, with the centerpiece of economic sanctions really as the focal point?

As many as 1,000 truckers are expected to gather in California on Wednesday to embark on an 11-day trek to Washington DC in an effort to protest what they claim are unconstitutional COVID-19 mandates.The People's Convoy - inspired by Canada's Freedom Convoy which included weeks of demonstrations and blockades that shut down border crossings into the US - argues the 'government has forgotten its place' and seeks to advocate for all Americans.

He asked Psaki if that was still the administration's assessment despite the fact that we are "facing down a potential cyberwar with Russia."
On Tuesday, Joe Biden was an hour-and-a-half late to the remarks he was supposed to make about Russia further invading Ukraine. He slurred and stumbled his way through his speech. He seemed to have enormous difficulty just reading the teleprompter coherently, and it was only a 10-minute address.You would think that – given what Biden was calling an invasion that could affect so much – that he might think the American people deserved some greater explanation of what the Administration was going to do in response — beyond reciting his 10-minute, canned speech.But no such luck. At the end of the 10 minutes,

The criminals had previously not targeted unemployment because of the small nature
Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse plans to take aim at the people and organizations who called him a 'murderer', a 'white supremacist' among other things in the run up to his trial and subsequent acquittal.
