I agree, Susan, Biden is a good man and he has achieved a lot, but he is not very good at conveying that, he strikes me as being too timid, too cautious, was slow to provide Ukraine with more powerful weapons. like long range missiles, afraid Putin might view it as America attacking Russia. Even now, we are being attacked all over the middle East and only taking defensive action. China is watching all this very carefully too. weighing their chances of invading Taiwan seeing we probably don't have the stomach for conflict. Same with Putin and Iran. Their perception is that we are weak. The GOP is making it all worse by holding up further aid to Ukraine and the aid to Israel. It is very sad that so many Gazan civilians are suffering, but Hamas is to blame. If they had not attacked Israel in such a savage inhuman way gazans would not be suffering now. But Israel has no choice with Hamas hiding behind civilians, And if they cam get a cease fire by turning the world against Israel with their videos of civilian suffering they have already said they will repeat Oct. 7 again and again.

i know, it's sad that Biden is timid, or perhaps we could say cautious? it might also be that the advice he is getting isn't helping him.

Yes, I was thinking that too, Susan, bad advice or ignoring good advice. Of course it's all opinion. Our opinion could be wrong, their opinion could be wrong, but who is to say until after the fact? We all tend to hold strong opinions about things, we all think we're right. In fact some people are so sure they are right they state the opinion as fact. It is very rare for someone to alter their opinion. When was the last time. during a perhaps somewhat heated discussion t the other person said. "You know you are right, I never thought of it that way :) One more question: If a man speaks in the forest and there is no woman there to hear him. is he still wrong?
