Interviewed at the White House by MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle, 80-year-old President Joe Biden displayed cosmic arrogance, telling the host he was the most qualified person to ever run for president. Ruhle questioned his age, asking Biden why would voters pick an 82-year-old to run the most important job in the world when no Fortune 500 Company would hire a CEO in his 80s. Biden told Ruhle that he had “acquired a hell of a lot of wisdom” and more experience “than anybody that’s ever run for the office,” rejected Ruhle’s point about his age. Give Biden credit for trying to spin his way out of a legitimate question about his age, trying to make it a positive. But when you look at Biden’s economic and foreign policy record it’s abysmal, with the country unable to afford another four years potentially pushing the world into WW III, possibly nuclear war with the Russian Federation.
All of Biden’s great experience and wisdom has gotten the U.S. into a bloody proxy war using Ukrainian troops against the Russian Federation. No one in the European Union [EU] signed up for a war against the Kremlin, yet Biden, with all his wisdom and experience, embroiled the U.S. in a war with the Russian Federation. Biden and 45-year-old Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky insists that the war against the Kremlin defends European democracy. Biden has drunk Zelensky’s Cool-Aid that worn-torn, bankrupt Ukraine defends European democracy. NATO should have something to say about that. Zelensky doesn’t defend European democracy, it receives all Kiev’s funding to pay basic civil service salaries, including his own and all his lieutenants, and the war with the Kremlin. Without U.S. funding, Zelensky would have ended the war with the Kremlin long ago.
Biden’s wisdom and experience created an oil embargo against the Kremlin, fueling shortages and spiraling inflation around the globe. Biden promised that his economic sanctions would bring Russian President Vladimir Putin to his knees, when, in fact, he’s selling more oil that before the Feb. 24, 2022 Ukraine invasion. Biden insisted that all his European allies join his embargo to punish the Russian Federation for violating Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Biden’s wisdom and experience trashed decades of U.S.-Russia diplomacy and détente, where the U.S. and Russia worked on arms control agreements and other foreign policy matters to make the world a safer place. Now Biden has the U.S. at war with Russia, saying March 26, 2022 in Warsaw, Poland that Putin should no longer remain Russian President. Biden’s 69-year-old Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin agrees.
When it comes to the U.S. economy, Biden’s only claim-to-fame involves a snapback from the Covid-19 global pandemic, where businesses eventually starting hiring back laid off workers. Yet Biden’s prodigious borrowing from the Federal Reserve for pandemic relief and infrastructure, added to the national debt and inadvertently the federal budget deficit, running about $1.4 trillion in 2023. So together with the over $100 billion spent on the Ukraine War, Biden’s wisdom and experience fueled the worst inflation in 40 years. Ruhle tried to ask a legitimate question about Biden’s age, but, more importantly, his judgment. Biden says nothing about his judgment because it’s been abysmal and Ruhle knows it. Yet when you ask Biden about his age, he’s all in on running the country until he’s 86. Judging by the Ukraine War and abysmal relations with China, the U.S. could be in a two-front war.
When Democrats are honest with pollsters, 51% say they would prefer another Democrat candidate in 2024. Yet to Biden, his wisdom and experience qualifies him to run again. Forget about the war with the Kremlin or developing war with China. Biden has hit world peace with a wrecking ball, claiming there’s no other way to settle global disputes than going to war. Putin was amenable to ending the war on fairly simple terms, asking Kiev to recognize the independence of Dontesk and Luhansk and accepting Russian sovereignty over Crimea. Biden and Zelensky rejected Putin’s peace offer and started the war against the Kremlin. Spending untold billions, climbing everyday, Biden sees nothing wrong with his wisdom and experience trying topple the Russian Federation, tossing Putin from power. No EU country agrees with Biden’s proxy war against the Kremlin, seeking a political solution. But Biden and Zelensky insist on degrading the Russian military.
Biden’s track record over two-and-a-half years have been the most destructive time in any presidency. No other U.S. president has trashed U.S.-Russia and U.S.-Chinese relations. All the talk out of Biden’s White House is how Russia and China are the biggest threats in Europe and Indo-China. Biden has tried to build a NATO-like coalition against China in the Pacific Rim, while encouraging NATO to see Putin as a Hitler-like threat to Europe. Where’s Biden’s wisdom and experience dictating his reckless foreign policy in Europe and Indo-China? Biden’s madness about the Ukraine War, thinking that he’s going to break the Russian military, shows neither wisdom nor experience. When it comes to China, the U.S. and world economy doesn’t need a world war in Indo-China. If Biden really had wisdom and experience, he’d give peacemakers a chance to end the Ukraine War.
