While I am quick to hammer Biden because he IS making the World a left safe place for Americans going forward, the up-side is Europe having to find its own set of huevos. They've relied far too much on our funding and our "Big Stick" to protect them.
Be nice if it was an equal partnership. It IS more their security than ours. I think that last point is what opened some eyes. They're all within reach of Putin's medium-range stuff.
I'm glad he finally told Russia to STFU with the nuke threats and pointed out it's not a one-way street. Something Joe Bungles should have done a month ago.
