@otownKim I think we would all like Biden to come out to the press and say “We got him.”
However, government analysts have likely been evaluating scenarious and risks involved.
It could be, they see a risk of Russia becoming a rogue state with multiple warlords, each of which have nuclear weapons. They could perhaps see a scenario, where China immediately try to occupy Russia, and then what do we do?
I do not know the scenarios, I am just arguing that they exist and may be the reason.
