On Ukraine, Biden faces unwinnable war at home

The public is growing increasingly frustrated with President Joe Biden’s response to the war in Ukraine, sensing weakness while his options for getting tougher are also unpopular.

To date, Biden and Western allies have launched the heaviest raft of sanctions ever against the Kremlin. Those actions include placing penalties on nearly every sector of Russia’s economy, banning the import of Russian energy products, cutting off the country from the international banking system, and personally sanctioning President Vladimir Putin, dozens of Russian oligarchs, and hundreds of Russian lawmakers.
