    biden trying hard to counter any popularity boost he'd normally gain from being a wartime president in the US.

      Is Biden even a wartime president at this point? We're doing sanctions, but we haven't actually committed any ground troops to this shit show.

        good point. it definitely is a time of war in the public perception though, people get riled up about this, they care and that can be used for campaigning. i ... at least hope that most americans don't expect biden to send ground troops, that would be ww3. imagine losing the midterms because you didn't kick off the apocalypse.
