One of the dumbest things some presidents will often do, particularly Democrat presidents, is whenever there's a crisis like the one now between Russia and Ukraine, they come out and say what they're going to do and what they're not going to do.
His Fraudulency Joe Biden activated some troops over the crisis, yet he pledges he won't send Americans to fight.
According to Fox News:
President Biden said that he will not commit American troops to a potential war in Ukraine as tensions remain high along the Eastern European country's border with Russia.
"While I will not send American servicemen to fight in Ukraine, we have supplied the Ukrainian military equipment to help them defend themselves," Biden said during an address on the situation between Ukraine and Russia Tuesday. "We provided training and advice and intelligence for the same purpose."
Biden's comments come as hope for a diplomatic solution to tensions in the region remained a possibility, though Biden said that reports of Russian troops moving away from the border with Ukraine have yet to be verified by the U.S.
What was dumb about it? The dumbest thing Biden did was announcing what he was not going to do. That is a huge tactical mistake. He shouldn't have said anything. He should keep the Russians, particularly Vladimir Putin, guessing.
President Reagan was a staunch practitioner of the "keep 'em guessing" strategy.
