There are two wars going on. The war in Ukraine and the war on Biden.
The war on Biden is U.S. politics. And Ukraine is seen as a weapon to be used against Biden. Par for the political course. Use whatever you can any way you can. Both parties do this. If we had ten parties, all ten would do it.
But the war on Ukraine is a real war. Not a brush to be grasped in an attempt to paint political advantage. Putin's grasp for power may have been fueled by a delusion but the chill of his clutching fingers on Europe's throat is very real (as evidenced by the reactions of possessors of said throat).
There is a fundamental realness to the plight of Ukraine and to Putin's dangerous delusions that exists outside of our ongoing political gamesmanship. There are plenty of grabable brushes to paint Biden with... but Ukraine and Putin is something else. Something more.
