    Biden gave ammo to the Russian propaganda

    Who is being propagandized? Everyone’s already picked their side.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if this ends up with Putin being allowed to travel freely again.

    I seriously doubt it, if for no other reason than any number of armed and extremely angry Ukrainian partisans are gunning for him everywhere he goes. But at some point, countries like South Africa, India, and Brazil are going to be asked to turn down diplomats from an enthusiastic new partner by British or American scald complaining about international norms.

    To quote the Kenyan Ambassador Dr Lubinda Haabazoka,

    Every time China visits we get a hospital, every time Britain visits we get a lecture.
