President Joe Biden, 80, continued to trash decades of cooperative relations with the Soviet Union and Russian Federation, designed to contain nuclear weapons, making the world a safer place. Biden’s vendetta with 79-year-old Russian President Vladimir Putin, has harmed U.S. national security, but, more importantly, pushed the world to the brink of WW III and nuclear war. Speaking at his delayed year-end press conference today, Putin cancelled the last remaining nuclear arms pact with the U.S., the 2010 START treaty, designed to put caps on nuclear weapons. Biden decided to join Ukraine’s war against the Russian Federation, essentially funding a proxy war against the Kremlin. Biden gives the excuse that if Putin isn’t stopped in Ukraine, he’ll move to take over former Soviet satellites in Eastern Europe. Biden’s justification are pure conjecture, only excuses to fund the proxy war.
Putin’s decision to suspend the START nuclear arms agreement with the U.S. shows how the White House has lost sight of the big picture. No president since the end of WW II has shirked commitment to containing and controlling nuclear weapons. Former President Jimmy Carter, 98, now in hospice care, dedicated his one-term presidency to working with the Soviet Union to control nuclear weapons. Whatever excuse Biden makes for supplying unlimited cash-and-arms to Ukraine, he’s now crossed a dangerous line with the Russian Federation. Biden’s national security team led by 60-year-old Secretary of State Antony Blinken and 45-year-old National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, are 100% behind the Ukraine War, even if it leads to WW III or nuclear war on the European Continent. Putin stated clearly today that the Ukraine War attempts to break up the Russian Federation.
Biden’s primary presidential oath has been breached to protect and defend the American people, fueling his vendetta with Putin, excusing his actions in Ukraine with fake claims about Putin’s ambition to take over Europe. Biden and Ukraine’s 44-year-old President Volodymyr Zelensky have told the European Union [EU] that Ukraine defends the free world from Russian tyranny. Zelensky told a joint session of Congress Dec. 21, 2022 that Ukraie is not a charity case but an investment in defending democracy in Europe. Zelensky presides over a bankrupt, war-torn country, choosing war with the Kremlin over peace and negotiation. Biden has sold U.S. allies on supplying cash-and-lethal weapons to Ukraine to defeat the Russian Federation. “We aren’t fighting the Ukrainian people,” Putin said. “The Ukrainian people have become hostages of the Kiev regime and its Western masters, which have effectively occupied the country.”
Suspending the 2010 START treaty on reducing nuclear weapons, Putin puts the U.S. on notice that nuclear weapons are on the table should the collective West threaten the Russian Federation. Zelensky has asked the U.S. and NATO for increasingly lethal weapons, including battle tanks, long-range missiles and, most recently, F-16 fighter jets. So, if Biden continues to press Russia in Ukraine, Putin will respond with increasingly draconic military actions, including the possible use of nuclear weapons.. ”We’ll be watching carefully to see what Russia actually does,” said Blinken in Greece, responding to Putin’s decision to cancel START. Blinken has recently threatened Beijing with unspecified sanctions if China continues to supply military equipment, including ammunition and weapons, to Moscow. Biden has pushed China and Russia into a strategic and military alliance.
Blinken acts like there’s nothing the U.S. can do to deescalate the situation in Ukraine, other than pouring more lethal weapons into Kiev. “Western elites aren’t trying to conceal their goals, to inflict a strategic defeat to Russia,” Putin said in his speech on all Russian TV channels. “They [the West] intend to transform the local conflict into a global confrontation,” Putin said. Putin has made many overtures to Ukraine about resolving the conflict, all of which have been rejected by Washington and Kiev. Zelensky insists that Putin be charged with war crimes at the Hague’s International Criminal Court, set up war reparations and remove every Russian from Ukraine territory. Putin has asked Kiev to accept independence of Donetsk and Luhansk and Russian sovereignty over Crimea. Zelensky recently said that ousting Russia from Crimea is a top Ukrainian priority.
Biden has lost sight of the big picture that world peace is more important than Ukraine’s border dispute with the Russian Federation. Biden forgot that promoting cooperative, pragmatic relations with Russia is in the best interest of world peace. Funding a proxy war against the Kremlin has all but destroyed U.S.-Russian relations, now at the lowest level since the end of WW II. Biden’s recent threats against China, a committed ally of Russia, shows that his foreign policy has lost any coherency, no longer protecting U.S. national security. If peace isn’t made in Ukraine soon, there’s a very real possibility that the U.S. could be fighting a two-front world war, one with Russia and the other with China. No matter how disappointing to Kiev, Biden’s only solution is to let U.N. peacemakers develop a peace plan to end the Ukraine War, with both warring parties finding common ground.
