Word is a lot of folks in Europe are happy that Biden has stepped up to bring things together but don't think the same would happen if Trump was still around. So, they're planning on ensuring they can move forward if the US's leadership weakens in another couple years.

There's somebody who perceives Biden as a strong leader?? In the US, divided as it is, polling would suggest that even his supporters don't feel that way.

I didn't say they or I thought he was a strong leader. But in relation to the invasion, Biden seems to have put in the work working with NATO and allied leaders to ensure the sanctions could be enacted swiftly and broadly and has publicly and privately expressed strong support for NATO. This contrasts with his predecessor who openly discussed his desire to withdraw at different points in time. European diplomats have apparently expressed that they wouldn't expect any support from Trump if he were in power now.
