Russia’s invasion of Ukraine: Biden under fire at home
In times of crisis in the USA, there is usually something like a truce in political Washington. But this rule has apparently no longer applied since the Trump era at the latest. Ex-President Donald Trump and other Republicans are currently busy spinning the story that Putin only dared this total attack on Ukraine because of the weak-looking new US administration. So if Biden does not want to make himself even more vulnerable to these accusations, which are getting louder and louder, he must now show a clear edge. Although nobody currently assumes that Biden will threaten Russia militarily. *Merkur.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
