Big problem with Biden WH is reaching for the cheapest available facile BS: (e.g. Inflation “transitory,” “Putin price hike”). Here they manage to hit on one of the least plausible of the available walkbacks. https://t.co/B9yvCmYmAv

If you thought Ferguson might be right in saying the Biden administration wants a prolonged war, you would have gotten a lot of evidence in today’s Biden speech, even without the ad-libbed last line. Biden seems to be making it that much harder to get a war-ending deal … https://t.co/5H1wjtEbkt

Another obvious explanation: Biden’s emulating JFK’s first inaugural (“long twilight struggle,” etc.) and Berlin speech. Except Biden’s seems more sweepingly adversarial, less nuanced. https://t.co/118K8dbDVl

Re, long war against Putin: “we must commit now to be in this fight for the long haul. We must remain unified today and tomorrow and the day after. And for the years and decades to come. It will not be easy. There will be costs. But it is a price we have to pay …” etc.

Strike the ad lib line. It’s still a speech that seems to make it completely clear that, even if Putin withdraws from Ukraine, Biden & NATO intend to wage a long war against “autocracy” in Russia. Why is that a good message to send right now? https://t.co/QprnhRLmL1

One obvious nasty explanation is that Biden thinks making a BigThink deal of Ukraine will help politically. Don’t quite believe this, but a lot of what Biden WH does seems to have a political explanation. https://t.co/G9AyNVgRqm

Kinsley Gaffe is when politician tells the truth. Saying “what you really think” is subtly different, no? (e.g. Trump said what he thought all the time. Press didn’t give him benefit of a Kinsley Gaffe.) https://t.co/fubyPDAdha
