I’m guessing they thought it was safer. just heard a report this is the first time a president has visited a war zone where our troops aren’t deployed and don’t control the airspace. I just find the logistics of things like this interesting, no matter who is president, thought it was cool. Link to comment

I didn't think we would let our fighters go into their airspace even for Biden. That would be seen as a major escalation for Russia. Even AF1 flying in could have been pretty risky with an inadvertant missle launch by either country. Though we could have let the Raptors get some real kills this time, and probably whipped out most of Russia's air power there in a couple hours. Link to comment

While foreign policy ranks extremely low on the electorates' list of concerns, Republicans instance that we should stop supporting Ukraine is like to be unpopular and only cement themselves further as being undemocratic. 1 Link to comment

Biden actually sounds like a pre-Trump republican in his handling of the situation. 80's Reagan rupubl'ss would applaud loudly. 4 Link to comment
