You're never going to convince Putin to give up on his goal for a Greater Russia with its recapturing all of the territories of the USSR. The "good" news is that Putin's Ukraine misadventure has likely set Russia back a decade with respect to lost manpower and equipment.
And who was responsible for turning that misadventure into a catastrophe? Oh yeah, Biden. The way he handled that situation was masterful. The world started supporting Ukraine -- making it easier for governments to contribute to the effort -- precisely because Biden's team started warning about Putin's intentions before the way happened, AND pre-butted Putin's bullshit justifications. That's a lesson Biden learned from Obama, who didn't counter Putin's Ukraine narrative early enough and allowed it to gain currency.
I mean, look at what you're doing here. You're crediting this thing Biden did as an accomplishment, while saying he's responsible for everything bad that happened. It makes no sense.
I love Barack Obama. I think he was, on the whole, a better president than Joe Biden. But Biden's handling of the Ukraine invasion was brilliantly and incredibly successful, and I don't think Barack would have done as well. Trump certainly would not have. The only other major candidate, I think, who would have performed as well under those circumstances was HRC. I know, you're going to fulminate now, because you're an old white dude, but it's true. She believed in diplomacy, but would not have been reluctant at all to pull the trigger when necessary. If she had been president when the US forces surrounded bin Laden, he would have been dead. She wouldn't have let him go like Bush did.
That's a lesson she learned from Clinton's presidency [if you're seeing a pattern here, it's that learning is good. When presidents jettison everything that came before them, they lose knowledge and are prone to repeating mistakes or making bigger ones]. He has often said that he considered Rwanda to be his biggest failure. He was reluctant and hesitant and it quickly became too late. That's why he did much better in Serbia/Kosovo in his second term. He learned.
