This has been rather surprising, and is no doubt a source of great irritation to Putin, whose networks supported the FdI takeover. It remains to be seen whether she will continue that line with Trump in office, but she's been so publicly pro-Kiev that it would be hard to walk it back at this point.

I predict Biden will meet with Pope Francis and commute all federal death penalties to life w/o - as is consistent with Catholic doctrine, despite the pathologies of US Catholicism. If he does it with the Pope standing next to him, so much the better.
