It seems Vladimir Putin’s aim is getting worse by the day, or maybe his moral compass is just completely out of spin. Word on the street is that he’s now directing his fire at hospitals and other purely civilian targets across Ukraine. It’s a twisted version of target practice that the Russian leader seems to think is appropriate, despite international outrage.
Meanwhile, back in the USA, President Biden appears to be playing a strange game of military limbo, doing his best to keep Kyiv from touching even a single military asset inside Russia. That’s right, while Putin’s missiles rain down on innocent Ukrainians, Biden is busy enforcing a no-touch policy on Russian military assets. As if giving Kyiv a symbolic slap on the wrist will somehow lead to world peace.

This might be Biden’s version of the ‘art of war,’ but to many, it just looks like the art of doing nothing. It’s one thing to provide aid and support, but telling Ukraine to play nice while their hospitals are being bombed appears to be a special kind of misguided. Maybe the President believes he can negotiate peace with sweet words and softer approaches, but Putin’s missiles tell a different story.
It would seem logical to let Ukraine defend itself in whatever way necessary, but the current administration seems more interested in handcuffing its allies than standing up to its adversaries. Perhaps there’s a grand master plan behind all this—although it’s certainly hard to see from here. For now, the score remains: Putin’s bombs one, Biden’s stern warnings zero.
Conservative minds remember the days when American leadership meant something on the global stage, when defense wasn’t just a concept but a reality. In the current geopolitical climate, that sentiment may feel like a distant memory, as the Biden administration continues to navigate international crises with what can only be described as a misguided moral compass.
