Biden and the US should be getting a lot more credit for what's going on and the bringing together of NATO and other players in opposition to Russia. Application of US soft power behind the scenes, without the usual Texan or New York idiots making it all about them, will likely turn out to be a huge part of this story when the smoke clears. If the smoke clears.
