There was some miscommunication in a speech by Biden who expressed that Putin “can't remain in power” and had to later announce that it wasn't an American action, it was simply Biden expressing his outrage. Putin's invasion of Ukraine just proves that he shouldn't be in office, but unfortunately he will most likely remain in office for the next decade. Washington's commitment to keeping NATO open in order to allow Ukraine to join was a stand against Russia, the article says that Putin is sending history into reverse and that he should be punished for it. The article also touches on the importance of geography and geopolitics and how major powers don't like when other major powers enter their territories. Russia also just hinted that they might deploy its military to Latin America and in that case, we would respond quickly and with a lot of thought. By NATO not protecting Ukraine and not making them feel worthwhile, it has separated the ties between the organization and country because of their unwillingness to protect them. Russia's invasion on Ukraine has made it economically and strategically dependent on China and the two teaming up with one another can end badly. The goal is to pull Beijing away from Moscow because Russia is more dependent on China than the other way around.
