LOS ANGELES.–President Joe Biden, 81, grandstanded on the eve of Russia’s two-year anniversary of the Ukraine War, slapping the Russian Federation with 500 new sanctions, all symbolic, because 71-year-old Russian President Vladimir Putin has circumvented all of Biden’s past sanctions, leaving the Kremlin more solvent than ever. But Biden must show voters and the world that he’s not senile as reported by Special Counsel Robert Hur’s Feb. 5 report, saying among other things, that Biden suffers from severe memory impairments. So, when it comes to Biden’s latest sanctions, he’s forever proving he doesn’t suffer from age-related dementia. When you look at the big picture, promoting U.S. foreign policy and defending U.S. national security, Biden has failed miserably, destroying U.S.-Russian relations and, for the foreseeable future, ending nonproliferation and arms control.
Voters need to wise up to Biden’s many excuses to drain the Treasury with the unending Ukraine War, now pushing $200 billion in U.S. tax dollars. Biden or Ukraine’s 45-year-old President Volodymyr Zelensky never admit that the U.S. pays his salary and pension and those of his cronies and Kiev civil servants. Biden and Zelensky’s war against the Kremlin has destroyed Ukraine’s infrastructure and bankrupted the country. “Two years ago tomorrow, shortly before dawn Russian missiles began exploding near the capital city of Kiev. Russian troops marched across the Border into Ukraine. Vladimir Putin’s vicious onslaught against Ukraine had begun,” Biden said. Biden forgot that Putin asked him to stop supplying Ukraine with legal weapons for months before the invasion. Biden refused to meet with Putin to discuss news security arrangements for Ukraine.
Biden lied to the American public that Putin’s invasion was “unprovoked and unjustified,” not admitting that he kept supplying lethal weapons to Kiev and provoking the conflict. Even Pope Francis said the Russian invasion was provoked by U.S. encroachment on Russia. Chinese President Xi Jinping, now a close economic, military and strategic partner of Russia, agreed that Biden provoked the invasion. But to the U.S. press Biden insists the invasion was “unprovoked and unjustified,” to excuse himself of any culpability. “He [Putin] believed that he could easily bend the will and break the resolve of a free people. That he could roll into a sovereign nation, and the world would roll over,” Biden said, spewing more claptrap. Did the U.S. roll into Afghanistan and Iraq when it thought its national security was threatened? Biden’s hypocrisy and excuses know now bounds,
Biden has had a vendetta with Putin since serving as former President’s Vice President in 2015. Obama and Biden funded a proxy war in Syria to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Obama and Biden’s proxy war with Turkey, killed over 500,000 Syrians, displacing 12 million more to neighboring countries and Europe, nearly breaking the European Union and driving the U.K with Brexit to leave the EU. When Putin intervened to help al-Assad in 2015, Obama and Biden’s proxy war was foiled. “Two years later, we see more vividly what we’ve known since day one,” Biden said. “Putin miscalculated badly,” justifying his continuing demand for $60 billion to for the Ukraine War. Biden’s abysmal judgment has badly damaged U.S. foreign policy and national security, offering no assurances that fueling the Ukrainian war machine would drive Russia out of Ukraine.
Biden insists that continuing the Ukraine War strengthens democracy in Europe by fueling war on the European Continent. “Congress knows that by supporting this bill, we can strengthen security in Europe, strengthen our security at home and stand up to Putin,” Biden said, repeating the same worn out talking points to squeeze his $60 billion out of Congress. “Opposing this bill only plays into his hand,” Biden said, stating the exact opposite of reality. Failing to move the conflict to the peace table increases the very real prospects that Biden could push the U.S. and Europe into WW III. “History is watching,” Biden said. “The failure to support Ukraine at this critical moment will not be forgotten,” spewing more propaganda to pressure House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) into caving in. Biden pushes the world to WW III, and no one calls him out.
U.S. voters have some big choices heading into the 2024 election. Biden has made his priorities clear that he plans, as long as he’s president, to battle the Kremlin until he prevails, something that won’t happen, according to every reputable military expert. Biden’s stubborn insistence on war, not peace talks, reflects the intransigent position taken by Zelensky that Russia must leave every inch of Ukrainian territory. Russia was in Ukraine before the Feb. 24, 2022 invasion and will be there after the conflict is settled. “I don’t have time to hear more than two hours of bullshit about us,” Zelensky said about Tucker Carlson’s Feb. 6 two-hour interview of Putin. Putin said he was open to ceasefire and peace talks under the right conditions. Biden has shown he’s the most dangerous man in America funding more war with Russia and pushing for War with Communist China over Taiwan.
