Biden's Assessment of Russia

"Russia has to make some very difficult, calculated decisions," Biden told the Wall Street Journal at the end of a four-day trek to Russia and Ukraine. "They have a shrinking population base, they have a withering economy, they have a banking sector and structure that is not likely to be able to withstand the next 15 years, they're in a situation where the world is changing before them and they're clinging to something in the past that is not sustainable."


Glad you pulled those punches. :D Not that I disagree, but...wow.

So many gaffes to choose from, so little time. Does he know anything of which he speaks or is he the blind squirrel?
