President Joe Biden’s fecklessness as an international leader has destabilized the world and provided a pathway for Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. His weak style and the resulting turmoil are classic traits of Democratic presidents who refuse to embody and promote America’s strength in the world.

In 2014, during the tenure of President Barack Obama, we were in strikingly similar trouble as we are today. Russian President Vladimir Putin was a strong leader trying to strike a balance between his oligarchical leaders and his own power. He used an invasion into Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula to distract from his own domestic troubles and asserted historical claims over Crimea that would appeal to the Russian people.
