It had been traditional during international crises that the United States would take the lead against aggressor nations. This time, the U.S. was dragging its feet in imposing a ban on Russian aircraft over U.S. airspace while the Europeans took the lead days earlier.
TravelPulse reported:
President Joe Biden on Tuesday night announced in his State of the Union Address that he will ban Russian aircraft from flying over United States airspace, adding to the sanctions against Russia for invading neighboring Ukraine.
The U.S. will join 36 other countries, including Canada and the 28 nations in the European Union, furthering a stranglehold on Russia’s ability to conduct business and commerce.
“Tonight, I am announcing that we will join our allies in closing off American airspace to all Russian flights, further isolating Russia and adding an additional squeeze on their economy,” Biden said.
Shouldn't be too much of a surprise since Biden has shown that he doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.
