Under a Freedom of Information Act [FOIA] request, the National Archives said it would release several batches of emails related to 52-year-old Hunter Biden’s work at Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian natural gas company. Unless 80-year-old President Joe Biden asserts executive privilege, the National Archives data could shed some light on why the U.S. is embroiled in a proxy war against the Russian Federation in Ukraine. Biden never explained why the U.S. must trash its relations with Russia to defend Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Biden said that if 70-year-old President Vladimir Putin wins the Ukraine War, the rest of Europe, especially former Soviet satellites, would be at risk of Russian invasion. Biden offers no evidence for his assertions only Putin’s Feb. 24 Ukraine invasion. Kremlin Spokesman Maria Zakharova warned today about U.S. sending Patriot Missiles to Kiev.
Biden was former President Barack Obama’s Vice President when he landed Hunter a $83,333 a month job at Burisma Holdings, a corrupt Ukrainian natural gas company. Hunter earned for over two years $1.5 million together with his business partner Devon Archer, all a big mystery, because Hunter had no experience in energy. No one in the press wants to touch anything connected with Hunter Biden, especially his overseas wheeling-and-dealing in Moscow, Ukraine and Communist China. New York Times and Washington Post, before the 2020 election, dismissed a report on Hunter Biden’s laptop as Russian disinformation. Maybe the Times and Post think that Hunter made millions in Ukraine because of his well-deserved qualifications? Knowing the press, they’ll do everything to discredit any FOIA request because it’s all right wing political dirty tricks.
Biden’s decision to start a proxy war using Ukrainian troops to battle the Kremlin has never been understood in terms of any possible national security scenario. Since WW II, the U.S. has had decades of up-and-down but cooperative, pragmatic relations with the former Soviet Union and Russian Federation. Since Biden took office, he has trashed U.S.-Russian relations to the point that Putin no longer trusts the U.S. or the NATO alliance. Why Biden decided to put all his eggs into the Ukraine basket is anyone’s guess. Biden’s plans to send Ukraine Patriot Missile Batteries could escalate the conflict to the point to U.S. and NATO direct involvement. Zakharova was clear today that sending Patriot Missiles to Ukraine would signal to the Kremlin that the U.S. was now an enemy combatant along with Ukraine. Kremlin officials have thought for some time that they’re at war with the U.S.
Protecting Biden whether on Ukraine or the Covid-19 controversy goes with the U.S. press, unwilling to give the public the facts on the origin of the deadly novel coronavius. When it comes to Hunter Biden, the press dismisses anything as Russian disinformation, not seeing how the Biden family played multiple covert business deals with Ukraine, Russia and China before the 2020 election. Anything former President Donald Trump says about Biden must be discredited to the public. Trump called the Biden family business out for its many corrupt dealings with Ukraine, Russia and China. Biden’s obsession with Ukraine directly relates to when he landed Hunter his lucrative job on Burisma Holdings board. How that relates to Biden’s commitment to proxy war against the Kremlin is anyone’s guess. Biden can’t explain why he can’t let U.N. peacekeepers end the Ukraine war.
Biden’s proxy war in Ukraine has increased the chances of a wider involvement with NATO, possibly starting WW III. As far as Ukrane’s 44-year-old President Volodymyr Zelensky is concerned, WW III has already started in Ukraine. Biden so far has refused to commit U.S. troops on the battlefield in Ukraine. If Biden defies the Kremlin and sends Patriot Missile Batteries to Ukraine, Putin could order attacks on U.S., especially if it takes 50 U.S. soldiers to run the Patriot Missile Batteries. Zelensky has asked the U.S. and NATO for combat troops and a no-fly-zone, only to be told no. Zelensky asked NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg to “fast-track” NATO membership, something that didn’t happen. Biden can’t figure out that NATO wants no part of his proxy war with the Russian Federation. No one in NATO wants to directly fight the Kremlin.
Hunter Biden’s emails could shed some light on why the U.S. trashed decades of diplomatic relations with Russia to defend Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Biden has paid Kiev’s government salaries and the war effort since Feb. 24, spending billions of U.S. tax dollars to defend a country that has no national security interest to the U.S. No one knows what kind of information the Ukraine government has on Biden that would lead him to give Kiev a blank check. Biden, while Obama’s vice president, was accused to getting Kiev prosecutor Viktor Shokin fired when he said he wanted to investigate Burisma holdings. So whatever the Hunter emails show, they’re not likely too flattering on the Biden family. Chances are Biden will assert executive privilege to stop the FOIA request for Hunter’s emails. Nothing sheds light on the 10-month –old Ukraine War.
