3 and 8 do not carry the same value.

Russia is nuclear armed so you have to cross the red lines cautiously so as to not trigger a nuclear conflict. But after crossing about 3 red lines it becomes obvious it is a bluff. Once the bluff is sniffed out then Biden should have moved more quickly. But that is mild compared to Trump appeasing Putin for the wrong reasons (not saying that appeasement is ever the right reason). But it is pure crap to suggest that the appeasement offered by Trump and Biden being maybe a little too cautious with help for Ukraine equivalent. They are on a far different scale. Biden saved Ukraine from being overrun by Putin and Russia.
