For what conservatives are calling a "weak" president, Biden sure has united most of the world behind him and Ukraine.

Even Switzerland is getting tougher on Russia: EU sanctions will apply there

Russian vodka exporters hurt worse.

The problem is Biden had nothing to do with it!
From the story:

The Swiss executive branch stopped short of announcing unilateral sanctions against Russian interests after Moscow’s blistering military action in Ukraine. Instead, the Federal Council opted to fall in line with the European Union and pledge that Russian individuals and companies hit with EU sanctions won’t be able to evade them in Switzerland, which is not one of the EU’s 27 member states.

The government said Friday that financial “intermediaries” in Switzerland were now banned from starting new business relationships with 363 Russian people and four Russian companies. Any existing business must be reported to the Swiss economic affairs secretariat. Further steps are under consideration.

While hardly a crackdown compared to other Western sanctions aimed at punishing Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine, the impact could be felt. The rich Alpine nation has been the biggest recipient of transactions by Russian private individuals — ahead of Britain, Spain, Luxembourg and the United States, according to a report compiled by the Swiss Embassy in Moscow.

This really does look like Russia made a massive miscalculation.

Their army hates command chain. They are treated like garbage. Ukranians' souls are on fire, burning bright. "Russian warship, go **** yourself." Russia's sheer firepower may win through, but for now willpower stands in their way.

Europe fell in behind Biden. Trumpists can't lie that away. They'll try, but their fail will be obvious.

Why is it so hard to admit that Biden's strategy got Europe behind him and is going about as well as it could short of hot war?

I admitted that Warp Speed was good. Where's your admission?
