Robert Jordan’s Sunday op-ed

My opinion on how what and what not to do in relation to Russia and Ukraine to try to keep the peace. One big mistake that we have done already is President Joseph Biden and his administration said if Russia and its surrogates attack Ukraine, the United States will place sanctions which don’t work. President Putin and his leadership most likely fall out of their chairs and laughed at President Biden, undoubtedly the President, probably even worse than Jimmy Carter.Let me explain sanctions placed on aggressive behavior. Let’s take President Bill Clinton in the 90’s, when he placed sanctions on North Korea. It didn’t do a darn thing. Today, they have many nuclear weapons and even intercontinental missiles (granted, in a very limited scope), but did we learn that sanctions and words to nothing to appease dictators. Just look at the missiles now coming from North Korea. Every president has failed to slow down those rogue nations, although when President Trump talked to North Korea about uplifting their country out of a dictatorship, North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un stopped the missile attacks and at least put on a dialogue with President Trump in Singapore and Hanoi.Now to the point of President Joe Biden he should have said we will keep all options open!!!! Would that have worked of course it would have but weak leaders are just that: worthless presidents.
