#1 We have seen this before. Divert attention from his current many failures. I see war soon because of him. The Democrat way.

#2 Putin's just toying with him now.

Putin holds all the cards and will come out ahead regardless of what Brandon's masters tell their puppet to do. If the puppet master is truly Ron Klain, aka "the prime minister," then it's highly unlikely the US will end up doing anything at all.

Klain is clearly the force that is driving Brandon to the left. It's Klain who pissed off Joe Manchin and torpedoed Brandon's legislation with his bully-boy tactics.

Klain is an old lefty who works closely with the little Bolshevik rep from WA and other squaddies. After he was chief of staff to VP Al Gore, Klain worked for lefty Wesley Clark and then for Kerry.

Whatever the lefty-Marxist policy is on Ukraine (I doubt these idiots have given the matter more than 2 minutes' thought), count on Ron Klain to advance it with his usual blundering, bullying energy. Heaven help us.

#3 ^1 & ^2
Plus we could add to that.
Why would a NATO country and given the current lack of US leadership, enormous national debt, a wishy-washy more DC skills than DOD, trust the USA?

Hhow many Political-Military screw-ups, failed nation building, defense hand overs failures after spending $$TRILLION, and 1000s of US DOD lives.

Would you trust a country with a track record like the US has had the last 50 years?

#4 Especially after these folks sent their soldiers to fight and die alongside ours in the AFG debacle. How many other of these (to coin a phrase) true European allies feel the same way as the Croats?

#5 Why tell anyone what you are going to do? Not a good strategy coming or going. The man is a total cock-up.

#6 Ron Klain not Obama? Highly unlikely.

#7 Ron Klain actually puts in a full day's work, and is intelligent.

#8 FDR - "I have said this before, but I shall say it again and again and again: Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars."

LBJ - "We are not about to send American boys 9 or 10 thousand miles away from home to do what Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves."

FJB - "no intention of putting American forces or NATO forces in Ukraine."

At least Donks are consistent

#9 Ron Klain actually puts in a full day's work, and is intelligent.

Republicans tell Biden to fire Ron Klain, president's 'guy behind the curtain'

#10 Klain and Dr Edith Biden are the puppeteers but the major decisions and policy directives come from the Praesidium and Central Committee membership at Kalorama, Big Tech, big Union, the Gay/minority coalition, big Pharma, Deep State operatives and the shadowy CCP/PLA.

#11 NoMoreBS You can put Obama and ValJar in there, too.

#13 Klain doesn't seem to take orders from anyone.

His intelligence consists of manipulating and moving his serial bosses (Gore, Wesley Clark, Kerry, Biden) ever further to the left.

In managing up he has no equal. Managing down or sideways: an epic fail. But he couldn't care less; he'll just move on to his next puppet or go back to whoring at O'Melveny & Myers.

#14 Bathhouse is too damned lazy and self-adoring to do the heavy lifting Klain's been doing. Manipulating a puppet is hard work -- 100 hour weeks. Bathhouse never put in 100 hours of work in any month of his life.

#15 Klain doesn't seem to take orders from anyone.

Seems to and the hardest worker is not always the boss.
