Making the prospects for peace in Ukraine dim, 79-year-old President Joe Biden showed why he’s not fit as commander-in-chief, making wild statements in a speech at the Royal Castle courtyard in Warsaw. “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” Biden said, surprising even the most anti-Russian members of his audience. What’s beyond ironic is that Biden said the U.S. would not commit any troops or set up a no-fly-zone in Ukraine when asked by 44-year-old Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky. Biden has given Zelensky all the military hardware he wants but just won’t put boots on the ground in Ukraine. Biden keeps telling NATO allies that he considers it a “sacred obligation” to defend every inch of NATO territory, just not one inch of Ukraine because they’re not part of NATO. Ukraine has begged for NATO membership since March 1, 2014 when Russia invaded Crimea.
Biden’s statements were immediately walked back by the White House because they obviously horrified enough heads-of-states and foreign ministers in Europe. Biden thinks, like other Democrat and Republican war hawks on Capitol Hill, that he can carry his Russian-bashing to Europe, especially now that a war rages in Ukraine. But the White House policy is entirely hypocritical, saying, on the one hand, he has “Ukraine’s back, while on the other that he won’t commit any U.S. troops to Ukraine. How can anyone in Europe trust Biden when he’s professed undying support to Ukraine, yet not committing any U.S. troops? If Biden’s willing to start WW III on the European Continent for a NATO member, why would he not make the same commitment to Ukraine? Biden and Congress have given Ukraine $14 billion to fight the Russian Federation, an astronomical amount of cash.
Like with so many of Biden’s comments, the White House has to walk back his erratic statements before they further erode his already abysmal approval ratings. ”The president’s point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region,” said the unnamed official. “He was not discussing Putin’s power in Russia or regime change.” Biden certainly called for Putin’s ouster. “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” Biden said. What could be more clear than that?
Biden’s statement were not only a gaffe, the were actual White House policy followed by 59-year-old Secretary of State Antony Blinken and 45-year-old National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan. White House speechwriters exposed for all to see that the Ukraine War is actually a U.S. proxy war to rid Putin from power. EU and NATO leaders know that the war is run out of the White House.
Biden acts like a war-time president because he’s calling the shots in Kiev, despite letting Zelensky produce as many video messages as he wants appealing for more military hardware and support from Western nations. Biden spoke to the Russian people. “If you’re able to listen—that you . . . are not our enemy,” clearly appealing to the Russian people to rise up against 69-year-old Russian President Vladimir Putin. “These are not the actions of a great nation,” Biden said. “This war is not worthy of you, the Russian people,” Biden said, appealing to Russian citizens to rebel. Biden, Blinken and Sullivan demanded in early 2021 that Putin release 45-year-old Russian dissident Alexi Navalny from prison. U.S. officials know that Navalny runs a clandestine group devoted to toppling Putin’s 22-year-reign of power. So it’s nothing new that Biden wants Putin out of the Kremlin.
What kind of a confused speech that asks the Russian people to rise up and overthrow Putin from power? Promising the United State “will stand with you and the brave people of Ukraine who want peace,” Biden let the Kremlin know that he’s out to topple Putin’s government. Whatever happens in the Ukraine War now, it’s clear that Biden has made his meassage loud-and-clear to the Kremlin, he wants Putin gone. So when it comes to the Ukraine War, the Russian army will now doubt double down on its aerial bombardment and missile attacks, currently wreaking havoc in Ukraine. Biden and the U.S. press presents the Ukraine war as a failure for Russia because they haven’t toppled Ukraine’s biggest cities, including Kiev and Kharkiv. Hearing Biden’s message, Ukraine can expect more consistent full-scale aerial bombardment of Russia biggest cities and towns.
White House officials and the press like to say that Putin’s offensive in Ukraine has bogged down, citing evidence that he’s not sending in troops for street-combat in Ukraine’s biggest cities. But it’s clear that Putin has not taken Biden’s bait and will continue his aerial bombardment, inflicting as much widespread damage as possible. Biden’s speech today in Warsaw harmed Ukraine’s war effort by provoking the Kremlin to double down on its strategy in Ukraine. Whether admitted to or not by the White House, Pentagon or the U.S. press, Putin is content to continue pounding away from the air, creating far more damage to Ukraine that his infantry. Calling for Putin’s ouster, Biden has laid bare for all to see the U.S. strategy in Ukraien: Defeat the Russian army and oust Putin from power. White House officials can’t walk back the reality of Biden seeking to topple Putin’s government.
