Most dangerous time in modern history ?

Yup, Biden was finally pressured enough to get on board, and I agree with the rest of your post. It might be better if Putin and his thugs were rotting in the ground, but jail would be moderately satisfactory.

Not only Finland, but Sweden is also making noise to join NATO.
That will mean that Russia is surrounded on the western side by NATO Countries. Dangerous.

Yeah - as paranoid as he is about anyone nearby even favoring relationships with the west, it could trigger serious problems.

Much of the FREE World nations are working AGAINST Putin the dictator .
We will not placate him. Dangerous to allow Putin to attack, murder, rape and destroy Ukraine.

Putin the non-genius has made a huge mistake

Mark Esper made the comment that Biden made a mistake taking the military option off the table immediately, even before the invasion. I recall hearing him do that and thinking " good grief, what an idiot - he knows NOTHING about negotiating." That's a mistake Trump NEVER made and is unlikely to ever make.

Biden is following the Obama doctrine of leading from behind, WAY behind.

Putin attacked Ukraine - to take over or destroy it.

That seems pretty obvious. What does your reply have to do with my post?

It’s also pretty obvious, given that he’s only done it during Obama and Biden presidencies, that he wouldn’t (and didn’t) do it when Trump was president, in part because Trump would never have taken the military option off the table and Putin feared what Trump would do.
