Flashback:

“If Vladimir Putin opts to again away from invading Ukraine, even quickly, it’s as a result of Joe Biden . . . has matched each Putin chess transfer with an efficient counter of his personal.”

— Three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Thomas Friedman, Feb. 15

We are saying: Oops. With Putin launching a full-scale invasion, it seems to be like Biden’s “chess strikes” weren’t fairly as “efficient” as famed columnist Thomas Friedman recommended . . .
