Sadly, I tend to agree. I suspect it's a done deal.

When I first read this, I didn't get the 'President Boss' part and I thought it might be a quote from Biden. I even googled part of it to see if he said that. Then it hit me that you mean you...not Biden.
Some Ukrainians Are Angry About Washington Ordering Diplomats’ Families To Leave The US Embassy
“Quite frankly these Americans are safer in Kyiv than they are in Los Angeles ... or any other crime-ridden city in the US,” said a source close to President Volodymyr Zelensky.

You should know never to piss off an old guy who had served in the Army. I have a t-shirt that says that.

Every time I hear Ukraine, I think of Biden's statement to Ukraine directing them to fire the prosecutor who was investigating Hunter by 6 PM if Ukraine wanted the one billion loan from the Obama administration.
There’s the dot to connect.

And on the other side of the world:
China's ambassador to the United States issued a warning Thursday: The U.S. could face "military conflict" with China over the future status of Taiwan.
In his first one-on-one interview since assuming his post in Washington, D.C., last July, Qin Gang accused Taiwan of "walking down the road toward independence," and added, "If the Taiwanese authorities, emboldened by the United States, keep going down the road for independence, it most likely will involve China and the United States, the two big countries, in a military conflict."
It was an unusually direct statement about the U.S. and Taiwan. Observers say China usually speaks in more general terms, such as saying that the U.S. is "playing with fire."
Though American eyes may be focused thousands of miles away toward a threatened war in Ukraine, U.S. officials and analysts have voiced increasing concern about Taiwan's ability to defend itself. This week, 39 Chinese military aircraft flew near Taiwan, the latest of several such demonstrations. It's widely believed that the U.S. would defend Taiwan in the event of war, though no formal treaty requires it to do so.

Biden won't get us in a war... but the entire world will be China Empire, Russia Empire and Us by the time he gets done.
And that is EXACTLY the goal, 3 equal world powers with all other lands reclaimed under one of the three umbrellas.

I read an article yesterday where the Ukrainian president has asked Biden to tone down the war rhetoric. Sounds to me Ukraine isn't concerned. There could be another explanation. Ukraine applied for membership to NATO in 2018, but it's been the US who has been holding the process up. Most likely, the Ukraine's political leadership is pissed at the US and will most likely broker some deal with Russia.

Could Ukraine to reunite with Russia to avoid bloodshed? Putin will then look like a winner and Biden, of course, will make America look weak. The saga continues... I miss TRUMP!
That’s exactly what I predict, then Taiwan with China shortly afterwards.
