Russian President Vladimir Putin, 70, says the Ukraine War is an existential crisis for the Russian Federation as the U.S. and NATO supply unlimited cash-and-lethal weapons to Ukraine. Started Feb. 24, 2022 with a Russian invasion, the war a long-time coming with the U.S. supplying Ukraine more dangerous weapons. Putin asked 80-year-old President Joe Biden for four-months to reconsider security arrangements in Ukraine because current arming on Ukraine was unacceptable. Biden ignored Putin’s requests, prompting the Russian leader to warn that Russia would take “special military operations” to demilitarize Ukraine. So, when the invasion happened Feb. 24, 2022, Biden knew he provoked Putin to take action. Biden often says the Ukraine War was “unprovoked” and “unjustified.” Putin sees the Ukraine War as U.S. and NATO’s attempt to topple the Russian government.
Putin’s internal view of the war matches months of concerns that the U.S. arming Ukraine presented an undeniable threat to the Kremlin. Putin thinks the West wants Russia’s vast mineral resources, hoping to break up the Russian Federation.. “They [the West] have one goal: to disband the former Soviet Union and its fundamental part—the Russian Federation,” Putin told Rossiya 1 state TV. “I do not even know if such an ethnic group as the Russian people will be able to survive in the form in which it exists today,” Putin said, painting the war as survival for the Russian people. CIA Director William Burins, 66, pushes intel that says that Beijing supplies Russia with back-up military assistance, including ammunition and weapons. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called Burn’s comments a “smear,” even though it’s well-known that China and Russia joined a military alliance.
Appearing on White House friendly ABC News today, 68-year-old former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice endorsed Biden’s proxy war against the Russian Federation. Rice thinks the U.S. must arm Ukraine, sending Putin a message that he won’t get away with invading Ukraine. Rice was Secretary of State when Putin invaded Aug. 7, 2008 South Ossetia and Abkhazia in Georgia. So, when it comes to giving advice, Rice did nothing to defend Georgia from the Russian invasion. Rice was former President George W. Bush’s National Security Adviser when she told the press on numerous occasions that former Iraqi Dictator Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction, including biological, chemical and nuclear weapons. Rice told the media often during the run-up to the March 20, 2003 Iraq war that Saddam would produce a mushroom cloud with his nuclear weapons.
Going on ABC to endorse Biden’s proxy war in Ukraine, Rice, in typical war monger form, wants more weapons given to Ukraine, including F-16 fighter jets. Rice should have zero credibility but the Democrat-friendly U.S. media likes to use former Republican officials to justify its actions, especially when it comes to Ukraine. If you listen to Rice, Biden should hasten the transfer of any-and-all offensive weapons to escalate the Ukraine War. Yet, Rice has no answer for why Biden has not committed U.S. and NATO troops. Like Biden, Rice is part of the U.S. war hawk establishment, a true Cold War zealot, itching to fight the Kremlin. Rice considers herself a Russian expert because of her doctoral dissertation at the University of Denver. How that makes Rice an expert in anything is anyone’s guess. Republicans, like 68-year-old Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) should be seriously doubted.
Biden’s Ukraine War policy has some inexplicable elements, knowing that his 52-year-old son Hunter and friend Devon Archer worked for five years making millions from a corrupt Ukrainian natural gas company. Joe Biden, who was Vice President at the time, landed Hunter and Archer the jobs. No one questioned Biden’s relationship to 57-year-old former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. When Biden ran for President in 2020, 76-year-old former President Donald Trump questioned Ukraine’s new president 45-year-old President Volodymer Zelensky about the Biden’s involvement in Ukraine. Trump was impeached by House Democrats for refusing to accept that Joe engaged in some underhanded business dealings in Ukraine. Democrats and the press did everything to cover-up Joe’s past Ukraine business dealings and blame everything on Trump for trying to dig up dirt on Joe.
Listening to Condi Rice come back on the news shows that the corrupt Democrat-controlled media wants to close ranks with the White House. Democrats and the press want to justify sending the Ukraine War into WW III or even nuclear war all because it opposes Trump and now possible GOP presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. If Democrats and the press want the truth about the Ukraine War, but they don’t, they’d listen to 41-year-old Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Ha.) who’s called out the Ukraine War as a prelude to WW III. Like Trump and DeSantis, Gabbard opposes draining the U.S. Treasury to fund Biden’s proxy war against the Kremlin. Gabbard and other foreign policy experts think that cooperative, practical U.S.-Russian relations are needed for U.S. national security. Biden’s Ukraine War has destabilized the world economy and upended U.S. foreign policy.
