Threatening China with untold consequences if its supports 69-year-old Russian President Vladimir Putin’s Ukraine War, 79-yea-old President Joe Biden showed again why he’s not fit for office. After alienating China accusing Beijing March 18, 2021 at a summit in Anchorage, Alaska of committing genocide against Muslim Uyghurs, Biden drove Russia and China into a close political alliance. Biden now wants 68-year-old Chinese President Xi Jinping to condemn publicly Putin’s War in Ukraine. Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Le Lucheng said today that NATO caused the Ukraine War by encroaching on Russian’s national security. That was exactly the opposite message Biden hoped for but was predictable based on the White House boycotting the Beijing Winter Olympics and continuing to throw support behind Taiwan, China’s U..S.-backed nemesis on the island of Taiwan.
Once Putin ordered the buildup of Russian forces near the Ukrainian border, Biden warned Putin of crippling economic sanctions if he invaded Ukraine. Biden was Vice President under former President Barack Obama when Putin annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula March 1, 2014, in response to a Feb. 22, 2014 CIA-backed, pro-Western coup that toppled the Kremlin backed government of Viktor Yanukovych. Obama and Biden didn’t lead a global coalition against Putin back then, slapping the Kremlin with only minor sanctions. Biden’s Zoom call with Xi issued more threats against Beijing if it dares to assist Putin with military or economic assistance. U.S.-Chinese relations are so abysmal that issuing threats of more sanctions was bound to backfire with Beijing. Biden has alienated China to the point where the White House has no clout with Beijing.
Biden has been running the Ukraine War out of the White House, something baffling to China because it’s supposed to be a conflict between Ukraine and Moscow. White House and Congress have given Ukraine over $14 billion to prosecute a proxy war against the Russian Federation, refusing to sit down with Putin and negotiate a ceasefire or lasting peace. Speaking on Zoom for one-hour-fifty-minutes March 17, Biden thought he could enlist China’s cooperation in his proxy war against Russia. Biden’s thinking shows that he’s not fit to serve as commander-in-chief, showing no diplomatic skills necessary to advance U.S. national security. Threatening China with new sanctions only makes a bad situation worse, whatever China does to help Russia with the Ukraine War. Biden pushed Russia to attack Ukraine after refusing to discuss new security arrangements in Ukraine and Eastern Europe.
Xi told Biden in his Zoom call that he wanted the Ukraine War to end at the earliest possible time, yet made no explicit condemnation of Putin. “He described the implications and consequences if China provides material support to Russia as it conducts brutal attacks against Ukrainian cities and civilians,” Biden told Xi. Unlike Biden, Xi remains forever diplomatic, careful to avoid incendiary rhetoric. Biden can’t possibly think that Beijing approves his $14 billion proxy war against the Russian Federation, knowing that the White House considers Beijing among the worst abusers of human rights on the planet. Biden boycotted the Beijing Olympics, letting Xi know exactly what he thinks of Communist China. “The top priorities now are to continue dialogue and negotiations, avoid civilian casualties, prevent a humanitarian crisis, cease fighting and en the war as soon as possible,” Xi told Biden.
Xi’s remarks don’t put blame on Putin but rather talk about how both sides must come to grips with mutual provocations to end the conflic. Biden has been emphatic, repeating his talking points that the Ukraine War was “unprovoked and unjustified.” China, as expressed by Vice Foreign Minister Le Lucheng, thinks that NATO encroachment led to Russia taking desperate measures. Biden wants to hear no part that U.S. arming Ukraine or sending NATO advisers there pushed Putin to invade. Beijing doesn’t think that crippling economic sanctions do anything other that take a deadly toll on global financial markets. Hinting that he could hit China with economic sanctions didn’t play well with Xi staying neutral in the Ukraine crisis. Biden’s poor foreign relations with Russia and China led to the Ukraine War but, could, in the not too distant future, lead to another crisis over Taiwan.
Biden and his national security team led by 59-year-old Secretary of State Tony Blinken and 45-year-old National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, have done everything possible to alienate Russia and China since taking office. Biden knows Beijing has little sympathy for his $14 billion proxy war against the Russian Federation. Biden has destroyed for the foreseeable future pragmatic, workable relations with the Russian Federation and Communist China. If you listen to the White House, the Ukraine War has gone badly for the Russian Federation. Yet all the reporting from Ukraine’s towns and cities show a country under siege, with Putin reining havoc all over the country. Ukraine’s 44-year-old President Volodymer Zelensky said today he wants a face-to-face meeting with Putin, not Biden.to try to resolve the conflict. Biden looks like he wants to keep the conflict going.
