You can start with Trump and work your way down through all the smaller Trumpers, each of whom hopes to fill the Donald's little WH shoes, and each of whom is as shamelessly demagogic as the Orange Blight. Never in the history of U.S. foreign policy crises has the minority party so uniformly and preemptively trashed the president and commander in chief. The GOP is less the "America First" party than the "Blame America First" party it so seethingly denounced in the 1960s and beyond. It has no honor, no honesty, no shame.

Vladimir Putin is on the verge of recreating the Russian Empire, if not the Soviet Union. It wasn’t so long ago that the leader of the free world prevented that from happening. Today, under Biden, our weakness is teasing Russian aggression.

Biden’s war on American oil & gas made #Russia’s energy more valuable, #Putin more powerful & the U.S. more vulnerable to what’s happening in #Ukraine

Vladimir Putin is the same person he was during our administration.

The only thing that has changed is American leadership.
Joe Biden has shown nothing but weakness and indecision. Now is the time to show strong purpose. Sanction Russia’s energy sector - the engine of its economy - to its knees and reopen American energy production full throttle https://t.co/TftZiAGb8L

President Biden’s timid sanctions tonight are wholly unequal to this moment. Russia is invading Ukraine now. The time has come for the “swift and severe” sanctions that Joe Biden has long threatened but refused to impose. There is not a minute to lose.

During the campaign, Biden sold himself as an expert on foreign policy. Now, his weakness on the global stage has created *another* international crisis.

But the truth is Biden has always been a foreign policy disaster.
