Newt Gingrich: Putin and Xi Sense ‘Real Weakness’ in Joe Biden

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said this week the American system “was built for a strong commander in chief,” which we do not have under President Joe Biden.
“The simple fact is Putin and Xi sense real weakness in the American commander in chief,” Gingrich wrote in reference to the Russian and Chinese leaders. “They sense that American confusion and weakness is an enormous opportunity.”
Even if Biden were serious with his threat of “severe sanctions” if Russia invades Ukraine, it will have little effect on Putin since Biden’s “war on American energy” has left him beholden to Russian oil, Gingrich suggested.
“Oil is the largest source of foreign income for Russia,” he noted. “Every dollar per barrel increase is a windfall Putin can spend on the Russian military and foreign adventures.”
