Acquired that? Putin is “clearly” shedding the battle in a rustic that he’s not preventing in. Ukraine, the place Russia is preventing, is almost 2,200 miles away.

One would hope that a greater night time’s sleep would assist with Biden’s psychological acuity, however that doesn’t appear to be the case right here. If that is an instance of a wholesome and “vigorous” President it’ll be one thing to see when he really begins to deteriorate.
