Driving U.S.-Russian relations to the lowest point since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, 78-year-old Joe Biden showed why he’s dangerous to U.S. national security. After meeting with 68-year old Russian President Vladimir Putin June 16, Biden promised more cooperation, dialing back the belligerent rhetoric that practically took the U.S. and Russian to blows in Syria. Yet despite all the promises to back off the harsh rhetoric, Biden sanctions a Russian ship and two companies involved in supplying parts for Russia’s Nord Stream 2 Pipeline, a five-year, 11-billion project to complete a natural gas pipeline from Russian to Germany. Biden thinks nothing about sanctioning German Chancellor Angela Merkel or any of the companies supplying parts to complete the pipeline that bypasses Ukraine and other sources of natural gas. Biden’s decision to sanction Moscow prompted an angry response from the Kremlin.
Since taking office Biden has done almost everything to alienate Russia, getting into Russia’s internal affairs over 44-year-old Russian dissident Alexi Navalny who promised to topple with his clandestine network Putin 22-year-reign of power. Biden and his 58-year-old Secretary of State Antony Blinken have demanded that Putin release Navalny from his two-year-ten-months prison sentence. Navaly’s of no consequence to U.S. national security, except for some distracting PR value, letting the Western Press go wild with his alleged Aug. 20, 2020 poisoning with Soviet-era Novichok nerve agent in Tomsk, Siberia. Western press went wild over Navalny’s poisoning story accusing Putin of ordering the attempted assassination, much like he did March 6, 2018 of former KGB agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia. Western media’s obsession with Navalny pushed Biden to destroy U.S.-Russian relations.
Biden trashed U.S. relations with China when Blinken and 44-year-old National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan met with China March 18 in Anchorage. Blinken and Sullivan accused Beijing of genocide against Muslim Uyghurs in Xinjiang province in Western China. China’s senior diplomat to Blinken and Sullivan no nation should lecture another country about human right with the history of “systemic racism” in the United States . Biden was the first president in U.S. history to brand the country an systemically racist. Whatever the U.S. position on human rights, all countries have a right to question the U.S. long history on human and civil rights when a president brands the country “systemically racist. So, since taking office, Biden has harmed U.S.-Russian and U.S.-Chinese relations. Biden’s decision today to sanction Russia makes no sense know the Nord Streram 2 Pipeline is close to completion.
Embroiled in a slow-moving train wreck in Kabul, Afghanistan, Biden and his PR team are looking to divert attention away from foreign allies and adversaries seen as a blow to U.S. credibility around the globe. Spending nearly 20 years in Afghanistan spending over $1 trillion, Biden watched the Taliban seize the country in a matter of days, letting the world to see that the U.S. acquiesced to the terrorist group that’s fought fiercely for nearly 20 years to retake the country. Former President George W. Bush invaded Afghanistan in Operation Enduring Freedom Oct. 7, 2001, less than a month after Sept. 11. Bush took five weeks to drive the Taliban from Kabul Nov. 14, 2001, backing a succession of U.S. puppet governments. Biden said he didn’t expect the U.S.-backed government of Ashraf Ghani to collapse, despite reports warning about the collapse for months.
Biden’s been on the wrong track with Russia and China, now watching the chaos in Afghanistan with delight, knowing the mighty U.S. military was helpless to stop the puppet government from collapsing. Putin remembers well when the U.S. under former President Jimmy Carter and President Ronald Reagan fund 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden to help topple the Soviet-controlled Afghan government. Putin doesn’t forget how much the U.S. worked with terrorist groups to undermine Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. Now that the tables are turned, Putin stressed he wants no part of the hordes of Afghan refugees now streaming across the border to escape the Taliban. Putin said he doesn’t want young Afghan men streaming across the Russian border, knowing Russian history of Chechen terrorism. Putin, and other European Union nations like Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic, wants no Mideast immigration.
Biden’s tendency to sanction the Russian Federation makes no sense, especially when in comes to the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline. Germany wanted the pipeline to secure cheap Russian natural gas to Germany into the indefinite future. Biden’s thoroughly embarrassed over his handling of the Afghan withdrawal. Announcing his withdrawal plan April 17, Biden has no excuse for not starting the evacuation of U.S. citizens four moths ago. But no, Biden procrastinated, waited until the U.S. puppet government collapsed Aug. 16, prompting Ghani to flee the country with oodles of cash. Getting out of Afghanistan was never the issue. It was the manner in which the exit strategy took place. Waiting to last minute has been a disaster, embarrassing the White House and hurting relations with U.S. allies. Normaly stalwart ally Great Britain called Biden’s withdrawal and unmitigated disaster.
