Russia and Ukraine flashpoint

The most recent American poll since Russia's invasion of Ukraine addressing the subject at all finds that 64% of registered voters said Biden is "too lenient" with Russia, while 31% said he handles Russia "just right". Just 5% said he's "too tough". Not a lot of ambiguity there.

Just wanted to clarify what the view from here actually is because I feel like one might've gotten confused by all the praise that's been heaped on my president's ostensibly stellar leadership skills throughout this crisis here on this thread. My sentiments expressed back on this thread's first page, in other words, are hardly outside the mainstream of public opinion here in the U.S. And this survey was concluded one day BEFORE the Kremlin expanded its invasion of Ukraine to encompass the entire country at that.

A separate survey conducted around the same time frame finds that Americans' opinions of Russia have now returned to Cold War levels of skepticism, with 80% viewing it as an "unfriendly" or "enemy" state.

Let me ask if you have skepticism towards Biden; what more is he supposed to do? I can envision the answer, but I'm curious what you have to say. Boots on the ground is out of the question.
