Michael de Adder declares sanctions a failure within hours of the announcement of the first full rounds, mocking Biden’s response as silly and futile. There’s a real temptation to ask “What do you think we should do, then?” Tucker Carlson would, of course, offer a way of dealing with Putin that involves soft lighting and […]
John Cole shows both reactions to Biden’s press conference. He gets the time wrong: It was just under two hours, hardly four, but still a prodigious effort. The dual response, I think, is between those who did the assigned homework — who watched the conference and judged it for themselves — and those who fake […]
