OPINION:
In a little over a week, Major League Baseball will begin the 2022 season. Fans across the nation will be dreaming of their respective teams playing in the fall classic, the World Series. From its inception, baseball has deemed — and the iconic song has verified — that “it’s one, two, three strikes you’re out in the old ball game.”
In less than three short days on the world stage, President Biden has said the following:
1. Sanctions were never meant to be a deterrent. Strike 1.
2. Russia’s use of chemical weapons will be responded in kind. Strike 2.
3. American forces will see the bravery of Ukrainian troops when they are there. Strike 3.
4. President Vladimir Putin is a butcher who cannot remain in power. Strike 4.
How many more strikes can this country (and perhaps the world) afford before Mr. Biden is yanked for a pinch hitter?
