[Quoting Biden] “I’m the guy that shut Putin down. No one thought could happen.”

This needs context. Mr. Biden’s campaign said he was referring to reports that Russian President Vladimir V. Putin had hoped for and failed to achieve a quick and decisive victory in Ukraine and that Russia’s military had suffered heavy losses. That, the campaign said, was possible in part because of Mr. Biden’s marshaling of allies and aid.

Still, Mr. Putin’s war in Ukraine continues two years later. And despite heavy sanctions imposed by the United States and other Western countries, its economy continues to grow. The World Bank recently upgraded Russia from a upper-middle-income country to a high-income one.

i can't believe this is coming from the NYT lmao

Liberals were saying Putin had cancer because he was fatter than usual. Seems like a cancer ridden Putin is more coherent and cognizant than a Biden with a simple stutter

"Needs context" aka he's wrong, but we don't want to say that.
