Biden Visits Ukraine, Not Ohio Or The Border

A bad political news cycle is what drove Joe Biden to go to Ukraine so he could completely reset the politcal table while not visiting, say, the American southern border or not visiting East Palestine, Ohio. Those are places where he's failed. Ukraine is a place where US policy has manifestly succeeded.

If you look at the history of Joe Biden's job approval rating, his job approval rating was at about 50%/51% for a long period of time to begin his presidency, and then it really dipped and went negative right around the time that he decided that he was going to ignominiously pull out of Afghanistan with no plan whatsoever...

The truth is that, just on a monetary level, the Ukraine war has been, in American foreign policy terms, a bargain. We spend, literally, over the course of decades, trillions and trillions of trillions of dollars on national defense.
