Signing an extension of Executive Order 13660, originally signed by former President Barack Obama after Russia’s March 1, 2014 invasion of Crimea, 80-year-old President Joe continued the order for another year. Biden cites the Ukraine war as a grave threat to U.S. national security, yet the war itself threatens the national security of the entire European Union [EU]. Biden pretends in most cavalier way that Ukraine has national security significance to the United States. Biden and Ukraine’s 45-year-old President Volodymyr Zelensky claim that the object of the war is to stop 70-year-old Russian President Vladimir Putin from taking over more European countries. But Biden knows it’s not war-torn, bankrupt Ukraine to defend the EU against threats to democracy, that the job of NATO. Yet Biden claims that the U.S. must battle the Kremlin to stop Putin from taking over more countries.
Biden has zero evidence other than White House propaganda that Putin’s objective is to take over Ukraine, install a puppet regime and seize all Ukrainian assets and mineral wealth. Biden has no facts other than Putin invading Ukraine Feb. 24, 2022 in what he calls a “special military operation” to stop the U.S. and NATO from supplying arms to Kiev. Biden decision to fund a proxy war against the Kremlin trashes decades of cooperative relations with Russia since the end of WW II. Every president since WW II has made an effort to find common ground, even though the U.S. competed with the USSR then, after 1991, the Russian Federation, for global domination. During the Cold War, every president has made an effort to get along with Russia until Biden. Biden’s reasoning on Russia being a threat to the U.S. democracy is preposterous. Calling Ukraine a “national emergency” is utter rubbish.
Ukraine, not the United States, has a problem with the Russian Federation, because Zelensky wants to reclaim all the territory he lost during the last year. “The actions and policies address in these Executive Orders continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States,” said the White House statement. Russia doesn’t threaten the United States, the U.S. threatens Russia by arming Ukraine on Russia’s border. Where’s Russia’s threat to the United States? Biden’s Communication Department came up with the rubbish to justify the Ukraine War. Biden, not Putin, has threatened U.S. and EU national security be funding a war in Ukraine that has no end in sight. Biden wants perpetual war with Russia to divert attention from the struggling U.S. economy, reeling from the worst inflation in over 40 years.
Ukraine has become a danger to U.S. national security because Biden has pushed the world to the brink of WW III or nuclear war. Biden said Oct. 8, 2022 that the world is closer to Armageddon than ever before, meaning that the Ukraine War has pushed 70-year-old Russian President Vladimir Putin to talk about nuclear weapons. When Putin cancelled the 2010 START treaty Feb. 21, it becae obvious that the world is a more dangerous place. Biden and Zelensky want the world to believe the Ukraine War is necessary to push back on Putin’s lust for more territory. But the fact is that Biden funding a prosy war against the Kremlin using Ukrainian troops has made the world a more dangerous place. Instead of arming Ukraine under false pretences, Biden should work with U.N. peacemakers ion a ceasefire and peace plan, regardless of Zelensky’s many objections.
Zelensky wants his sovereign land back but at what expense to the U.S. Treasury and world peace? Asking for U.S. and NATO troops from the beginning, Zelensky wasn’t concerned about WW III or nuclear war. His blinding vendetta with Putin is so extreme, he can’t see beyond his own self-interest. World leaders, including Biden, must tell Zelensky that he decided to go to war against the Kremlin at his own risk. U.S, EU and NATO can’t give him a blank check when the Ukraine War has gone sideways or backwards. It’s one thing to grind out a few blocks of territory here-and-there, it’s still another to jeopardize world peace because Zelensky made a bad mistake. Betting he could vanquish the Russian military, Zelensky gambled with his country’s sovereignty and lost. No one told him had had to go to war against the Kremlin after the initial invasion. Putin offered to settle the conflict last March.
Invoking Executive Orders claiming that Ukraine War is a necessary intervention to protect U.S. national security could not be further from the truth. Biden’s decision to fund and supply arms to Ukraine has endangered the European Continent by forcing Putin to defend the Russian Federation. Zelensky’s 10-point peace plan, demanding that Putin be prosecuted in the Hague’s International Criminal Court and pay reparations to Kiev is unrealistic and no plan at all. When China announced its own White Paper for peace, it was shot down immediately by Biden and Zelensky, as every other peace plan. “Therefore, in accordance with section 202 (d) of the National Emergency Act (50 U>S>C> 91622 (d), I am continuing for 1 years the national emergency declared Executive Order.13660,” Biden said. Biden’s only Executive Order should be to terminate his abysmal decisions..
