  1. He is testing Biden for other purposes. Not sure what those purposes are, but we will find out. I doubt he will invade Ukraine. In 1979 the USSR (Putin was a Colonel in the KGB) put a reinforced brigade into Cuba. President Carter, worried the USSR would invade Nicaragua or El Salvador, where communists were fighting the governments, demanded the USSR withdraw their troops. Brezhnev told Carter to go f*ck himself. Carter did nothing. Finally, as was released after 25 years of classification, the US negotiators asked the Soviets what would they do if the US announced that the Soviets would withdraw because of Carter's demands? The Soviets told them "We don't care if you lie to your country" Carter announced that the Soviets would be withdrawing their troops and claimed "victory" in his negotiations. In 1979 there was no internet, no "connected" independent reports to counter what the government lied about. A few months later the Iranians, who had intel from the USSR, staged a revolution and seized our embassy and Americans in Iran and held them hostage until the day President Reagan was inaugurated. A month after that, the Soviets having satisfied themselves that Carter would do nothing, even right in his own backyard, the troops showed up again. In Afghanistan. Our enemies are watching and testing us.
