The Issue: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s handle to Congress, asking for additional help.
President Volodymyr Zelensky’s impassioned speech to Congress was commendable and demonstrates the steadfast love he has for his nation (“Zel: ‘Be leader of the world’ Biden: ‘No,’ ” March 17).
Unfortunately, the United States is at present burdened with an unparalleled disaster of management.
The vacuous technique of President Biden and his administration is grievously pathetic and a detriment to world peace and stability.
Biden continues to broadcast his timid method to this horrific, completely unwarranted conflict by declaring what he is not going to do. This kind of reticence solely emboldens Vladimir Putin to proceed down the trail of barbaric savagery.
Zelensky exhorted Biden to be the chief of the world. However, Biden is barely able to main himself off the stage after his frivolous press conferences.

Zelensky has turn out to be the definition of management in a disaster. He has exhibited a private braveness that each world chief ought to emulate.
As he begs for assist from a conflict zone, our so-called leaders wring their arms, apprehensive about angering Putin.
It is time to take their lead from a former comic, who was broadly mocked when elected and now reveals the world what an actual chief seems like.

The president spoke about how “convincing” Zelensky’s remarks have been to Congress, but continues to disclaim Ukraine the no-fly zone and the jets it wants.
It defies motive that the Ukranians wouldn’t be given the suitable plane from Poland attributable to Biden’s choice.
They know what they want. Sanctions take time, whereas individuals are dying day by day.
It appears that President Zelensky’s argument was convincing to everybody however the US president. This is a tragedy of epic proportions.

The reply to The Post’s query “Does Joe hear Zel’s call?” (Editorial, March 17) is a powerful no.
The Biden administration is simply too late to assist the Ukrainians. The time to assist was months in the past when the Russians have been getting ready the “minor incursion” into Ukraine.
Biden is all the time 10 steps behind each disaster — be it the world over or in our personal nation.

As you define in your editorial, Zelensky’s speech to Congress was inspiring and to-the-point — particularly when he acknowledged that Biden was the chief of an incredible nation and as such, the chief of the world.
His finest line, “Being the leader of the world means being the leader of peace,” apparently has fallen on deaf ears.
I don’t see Biden stepping in to inform Putin to stop and desist — or else. All he can say is that it seems it will likely be a protracted conflict.
I do give him credit score for asserting that he’s sending Ukraine extra defensive provides, totaling $800 million, and calling Putin a conflict felony.
But he nonetheless is not going to give Ukraine the MiG jets as a result of he’s fearful of Putin and doesn’t need to upset him. Is {that a} president who has stepped as much as be the chief of the free world? No.

Do we actually need peace in Ukraine? If so, the world should de-escalate. Pushing Putin right into a nook to see how far he’ll go is not going to finish effectively for anybody, a lot much less Ukraine.
The uneducated banter from members of the media and Congress who promote extra weapons, planes and funding may lead us to World War III.
A protracted conflict doesn’t profit Russia or Ukraine. It solely advantages Biden and the media, who preserve the concentrate on this bigger than life “superhero versus villain” struggle, which is way from our inflation woes and gas-price issues. We should de-escalate to seek out peace, then concentrate on our personal border.
