Maybe Biden's experience lets him make smart moves.

Lots of good points from Ms Rubin. There are no good choices, only bad, really bad and maybe a little bit good for now. There are no white hats as far as countries and leaders. Only ones with no sin are the civilians caught up in the war.

We do not control any other country’s actions, only influence them. The fighting has stopped, more aid is going in and hostages are being released. My assumption is that all the people demanding one or all of these will now be giving Biden tons of credit since he has been personally involved in the negotiations, and has made it a priority. Right….?

Yes it is for now but it is always for now when fighting stops. Really be honest and give credit whee it is due.
