Ukraine, Taiwan, and a weak commander in chief

Newt Gingrich says the situations in Ukraine and Taiwan are both dangerous, and President Biden appears incapable of meeting the dual challenge.

Weakness when facing dictators is always dangerous. The situations in Ukraine and Taiwan are both dangerous. 

Of course, the Biden threat that there would be "severe sanctions" if Russia invaded Ukraine probably has no effect on Putin. First, when he seized all of Crimea, the Obama-Biden administration threatened severe sanctions and nothing seemed to hurt Russia much. Second, at a time when Biden’s war on American energy has raised the price of oil and forced him to beg Russia and Saudi Arabia to increase production to lower the price, Putin must be reveling in the absurdity of Biden’s words versus Biden’s actions.
