Meanwhile, checking in on the country that Republicans want us to emulate. Quote Today, Russia appears to be on the verge of an economic collapse without parallel in its post-World War II history. The United States and European Union’s decision to sanction Russia’s central bank on February 28 has essentially severed the spinal cord of the country’s economy. Russia is set to default on its debts, see its oil export relationships rejuggled to its detriment, its currency collapse even further, and it is now possible that most of its residents’ quality of life may fall to Iranian or potentially even Venezuelan standards in the near future.

The difference is this isn't punishment for a war that's over and they lost. This is punishment for a war that's currently taking place. The only other option is do what the Trumpbots want and roll over, which certainly isn't going to deter Putin. At least this way, there's the potential for degrading life in Russia to the point that the people rise up against him. Another difference is that Putin is the leader while the punishment is being levied. Hitler rose to power because of the hardships that the German people were facing, so he took none of the blame for the situation they were in but gave them hope that they could rise out of it. Putin doesn't have that luxury. It all falls squarely on his shoulders.

March 4, 20223 yr https://www.npr.org/2022/03/04/1084463809/biden-approval-poll-ukraine-economy Biden gets a bounce after the State of the Union, NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll shows a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist survey finds he is seeing a significant boost in his approval ratings across the board following his State of the Union address and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. "This is an unusual bounce," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, which conducted the poll. "It gets him back to where he was pre-Afghanistan." Here's a look at some of the numbers: Overall approval rating jumped to 47%, up 8 points from the NPR poll last month. Presidents don't generally see much, if any bounce, out of a State of the Union address. Since 1978, there had only been six times when a president saw an approval rating improve 4 points or more following State of the Union addresses, according to the pollsters. Three of those bounces were for former President Bill Clinton. Ukraine handling is up 18 points to 52%. Coronavirus pandemic handling is now 55%, up 8 points. Economic handling up 8 points to 45%.

From a political standpoint it's also probably not a winner because the right won't give him credit, even though they'd be circle-jerking all over it if Trump did it.
