"The answer is not to defund the police, it's to fund them"

Interestingly enough, he said he'll cure cancer (to an extent), which Trump also said, but I believe never did.

"I am more optimistic about America today then I've ever been." - I wish I could agree

"We are stronger today than we were a year ago, and we'll be stronger in a year from now, than we are today." - Maybe the opposite...

On a positive note, he did manage to speak like a "healthy" human being almost the whole time.

Interestingly, he didn't mention January 6.

Can we give Biden credit for stopping the bombing in Ukraine during his speech?

It was a great speech. Give the guy credit.

Credit for a good speech goes to the speech writers, Biden’s delivery sucked.

Did Biden delay his his ban of US airspace to Russian flights to boost the reception of his SOTU address? It definitely looks like it.

It is clear the strategy this whole time has been to let Europe take center stage this whole time. Some will claim this is leading from behind, but it has strengthened NATO unbelievably.

So you are conceding that Biden and the US have not been leading this effort?

They will use the numbers that shows them in the best light.

Right, but what is your reason for repeating their spin?

They have been spearheading the charge behind the scenes for months. The results are the strongest sanctions in history that are crimpling Russian economy in days, not years!!! It is smart to let Europe to be the focus. No need to make it about me as the last admin would have done. The last admin would have done basically NOTHING!!!

Pulling all your biggest guns right away is not necessarily the most judicious or efficacious approach to achieving your goals. Neither is being led by the nose by the mainstream and social media informed vocal public sentiment. It's been pretty clear in this conflict that Russia has not gone all out against Ukraine, yet we are still surprised at anyone in the world that has not gone all out against Russia and prefers to take things slowly and not do anything rash that they'll regret.

In every case of sanctions the US has been leading or slightly behind. But once he had the SOTU coming up, Biden significantly delayed implementing sanctions that he believes were correct to implement in order to score some extra political points.

They have implemented MASSIVE sanctions before the SOTU. He announced one minor sanction (not sanctions) in the SOTU.
Keep the pretzels coming.  :)
