I listened to Putin\u2019s speech<\/a> and then I listened to Dementia Joe\u2019s mumblings<\/a>.\u00a0 I know I\u2019m prejudiced against Biden but it wasn\u2019t even close.\u00a0 Putin spoke almost off the cuff.\u00a0 He related the history of Russia as honestly as it can be put.\u00a0 He complained about the outrageous tactics that Lenin and Stalin used to create the various \u201cethnic\u201d states.\u00a0 The wholesale mixing and matching territories to prevent any threat to the central authority by ethnic groups.\u00a0 It\u2019s the speech of a pragmatic and confident ruler telling the outside world why he\u2019s making the moves he is and why he feels justified in making them.\u00a0 He’s not asking permission.\u00a0 He\u2019s explaining why no one had better get in his way.<\/p>\n

Listening to Joe is painful.\u00a0 Watching him try to read off the teleprompter but still stumble every few minutes is annoying as all hell.\u00a0 Plus, it\u2019s all bluster.\u00a0 He\u2019s going to impose sanctions that sound like mostly refusing to loan Russia money.\u00a0 From what I\u2019ve read Russia isn\u2019t in debt.\u00a0 We on the other hand are in debt to China for trillions of dollars.\u00a0 Somehow, I think Russia can underwrite its growth out of the boundless oil and gas revenues it receives.\u00a0 A real leader would try to find some modus vivendi with Russia.\u00a0 Theoretically, we should have an easier time dealing with Russia than China.\u00a0 Also, the realities of Russia\u2019s relationship with Europe would warrant careful consideration of the practical aspects of maintaining mutually beneficial policies.\u00a0 But not Joe.\u00a0 He\u2019s probably more worried about how Burisma will be affected by these changes.\u00a0 After all, if Hunter stops getting paid how can the \u201cbig guy\u201d get his twenty percent.<\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s talk about morality.\u00a0 Vladimir Putin is a ruthless autocrat.\u00a0 He uses whatever tactics get him what he wants.\u00a0 The cruelty of the tactics that were used against the Chechen rebels were horrific.\u00a0 The fact that Putin used Chechens to destroy their fellow Chechens in no way excuses the hideousness of the policies.\u00a0 But it does indicate the intelligence that Putin brought to his actions.\u00a0 He fought fire with fire.\u00a0 Putin is someone to be feared and respected because he is competent.<\/p>\n

What exactly are the moral advantages that Joe Biden brings to the table?\u00a0 He is an inveterate liar.\u00a0 He lies about his personal life.\u00a0 He lies about his official actions.\u00a0 He seems to lie without any thought to how transparent the lies are.\u00a0 He plagiarizes the words of other men.\u00a0 There is credible testimony that he sexually assaulted a woman on the streets of Washington D.C.\u00a0 And as for his financial dealings, he\u2019s been peddling his government influence for as long as he\u2019s been in public office.\u00a0 And when he became Vice President, he became an international influence peddler.\u00a0 He was able to collect millions of dollars in China and the Ukraine through the help of his bag man; his junkie, pervert son Hunter.\u00a0 And all of this is documented on a laptop that Hunter idiotically left in a computer repair shop and ended up published in the pages of the New York City tabloid the New York Post.\u00a0 And finally, just watching video of the man as he interacts with women and children is repulsive.\u00a0 He sidles up behind women and grabs their shoulder and sniffs their hair.\u00a0 He\u2019s like Suetonius\u2019s description of the depraved behavior of Tiberius.<\/p>\n

Say what you will about Putin\u2019s ruthlessness, at least the things he has championed for his country are essentially wholesome.\u00a0 He defends Christian religion and Russian culture against such outside influences as LGBTQ organizers and globalist NGO agitators.\u00a0 Compare this to Biden who has opened the US borders to criminal aliens and defended the murderous rioters, looters and arsonists who ran amok during the 2020 George Floyd insurrection.<\/p>\n

Looking at these two men it\u2019s hard not to see an imbalance.\u00a0 Biden is an empty suit.\u00a0 He\u2019s just the chair warmer for a ruling elite that controls all the levers of power so the puppet doesn\u2019t have to be very impressive.\u00a0 Putin is a leader, not a democratic leader, more of a dictator but still a popular leader.\u00a0 Regardless of the differences in circumstances and world opinion it\u2019s hard not to be impressed by Putin and hard not to be disgusted by Biden.\u00a0 Just my impressions.<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong><\/p>\n

TomD’s comments\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s like a horror story, the Dims are failing so badly and obviously at everything that seemingly any rational person on earth would think they need a basic reappraisal of their goals and methodology. But not this group, No Sir!<\/p>\n

One of the many horrors of the Biden \u201cAdministration\u201d is there is no way out for at least 3 years. Look at the attached \u201corder of succession\u201d. To quote the Lady, \u201cIt\u2019s turtles all the way down.\u201d<\/p>\n
