#1 This feels right, but I’m not qualified to judge.

He has undermined in weeks what Russia took almost 30 years to achieve.

Yes. President Biden is mostly undermining what President Trump did in four years, the rest being a continuation of what President Obama set in motion. So we know ours can be quickly reversed, with the right man in office. The Russians can not have the same comfort.

Only weeks ago, Russians were vacationing in far-off destinations and buying imported cars and other luxury items.

How to make people furious, in one easy lesson.

#3 Yeah, it's all bad, bad Putin. OK. He's a bad guy and his army sucks. Now tell me about the CIA...and the Biden family...and the Maidan coup. C'mon, WSJ. I know you know. I wanna hear it from you. Yeah, and what about the bio labs? If WSJ is so great, howcome I had to read about it in the Pulse?

#5 "Trump's obsession in focusing resources against Osama bin Laden's son Hamza is one example of the president's preference for a 'celebrity' targeted killing versus prioritizing options that could prove better for US security," - Douglas London

What those prioritized options were to Mr. Fancypants London only he can tell. Several angerous tangos were killed in Trump's single term, including Hamza. Hamza was not celebrity, he was the one remnant of the UBL family that could rally the AQ for another 9/11. So forgive me if I don't have any confidence in Mr. Fancypants' shadowy expertise.

#6 As I repeatedly heard, "The CIA should be arrested for impersonating an intelligence agency..."

#7 Abu Uluque -- if the Russians object to biolabs in the Ukraine they shouldn't have built them in the first place.

#8 The idiot left of the world could use a reminder of how bad communism actually is.
