maybe the United States wouldn’t look so hapless, helpless and clueless.
Only a few years ago, Trump launched a couple of dozen cruise missiles at a Syrian airbase, with Russians present, because that base had been used to launch a poison gas attack on Syrian civilians. The gas was Russian gas and handled by Russians on Assad’s behalf. Trump reportedly told Putin that worse would happen if he retaliated.
Fast forward to 2021. Biden’s first orders as CIC focused on whiteness and so-called white supremacy, gender correctness, pronouns, less carbon emissions from the military, and looking for and purging the ranks of MAGA supporters. Along the way, Biden only watched from his basement as Putin ramped up for war, he delayed shipping needed weapons to Ukraine so as not to aggravate Putin prior to last summer’s phone call, and he cancelled a long-planned ballistic missile and nuclear readiness test so as not to start WWIII or something. Biden personally stood in the way of Poland’s transfer of jets, while he made a totally unneeded spectacle of that issue.
Biden has let Putin set the agenda. Putin has had his way with Biden the entire time Biden has been in office. Biden’s weakness in Afghanistan coupled with his exceedingly deferential conduct to Putin and Russia in the Iran negotiations, and refusal to confront Putin over Ukraine is causing millions of Ukrainians to suffer with no hope as the President of the United States obsesses over not aggravating the guy who is already bombing hospitals, civilian evacuation routes, and relief convoys.
What to do? First of all Mr. President, STFU! Those jets should be in Ukraine without any public comment. Provide SAM‘s of longer range than stingers. Speak softly and carry a big stick instead of speaking in banal platitudes with no stick.
Pronoun correctness and minimizing carbon emissions from tanks and ships does not prepare our civilian leadership for traditional international thugs.
End of rant.
