Online Public Relations Thoughts

The Biden Administration continues to take steps to isolate Russia from the world economy.   Now, it is reducing dependency on Russian gas.  Biden is determined to bring Russia down until Putin reneges on his invasion of Ukraine or is put out of office through a coup or the electorate rising against him.  Biden is sending a clear message backed by action.  So far, Putin isn't listening.  He keeps doubling down by increasing the threat of nuclear war and sending more troops to the front.  He has secured his reputation as an international bully and he glories in it.  It is likely that even if the war turns into a prolonged siege, he won't give up.  He didn't in Syria.  He has no qualms about killing civilians.  He is out to break the will of Ukrainians and to turn them into vassals of Moscow.  If he succeeds in doing so, it will be outside the world economy in nearly complete isolation.
