On Wednesday the senile one who sometimes sleeps in the White House threatened U.S. troop engagement with Russian troops if Congress doesn’t provide further funding for Ukraine. The nonsense being pushed is that failing to fund the continuance of the Ukraine war means that Russia will invade a NATO country.
White House – […] “Congress needs to pass supplemental funding for Ukraine before they break for the holiday recess. It’s as simple as that.
Frankly, I think it’s stunning that we’ve gotten to this point in the first place. While Congress — the Republicans in Congress is — are willing to give Putin the greatest gift he could hope for and abandon our global leadership not just to Ukraine, but beyond that.
[…] “I just did a meeting with the G7, which was one of the issues we discussed — all of the European leaders. We are prepared to stay with us — stay with Ukraine, and our European friends are as well.
Who in the United States are prepared to walk away from that? I tell you, I’m not prepared to walk away, and I don’t think the American people are either.
If Putin takes Ukraine, he won’t stop there. It’s important to see the long run here. He’s going to keep going. He’s made that pretty clear.
If Putin attacks a NATO Ally — if he keeps going and then he attacks a NATO Ally — well, we’ve committed as a NATO member that we’d defend every inch of NATO territory. Then we’ll have something that we don’t seek and that we don’t have today: American troops fighting Russian troops — American troops fighting Russian troops if he moves into other parts of NATO.
Make no mistake: Today’s vote is going to be long remembered. And history is going to judge harshly those who turn their back on freedom’s cause.
We can’t let Putin win. I’ll say it again: We can’t let Putin win. It’s in our overwhelming national interest and international interest of all our friends.
Any disruption in our ability to supply Ukraine clearly strengthens Putin’s position. We’ve run out of money to be able to do that, in terms of authorization.
Extreme Republicans are playing chicken with our national security, holding Ukraine’s funding hostage to their extreme partisan border policies.”
More and more of the country are tired of the sending all that money to Ukraine. This is despite a nonstop campaign in the media that Ukraine is some bastion of democracy. Zelenskyy is a dictator. Zelenskyy ended political parties in Ukraine. Zelenskyy closed churches. Zelenskyy has ended all trappings of democracy to line his pockets with foreign money. How often is his wife splurging tens of thousands of dollars on Paris shopping trips?
Should we keep sending money until a million Ukrainian soldiers are in cemeteries? Will the neocons pockets have enough money then?
Is Biden pushing this nonsense because Zelenskyy is threatening to spill the beans on all the grifting that has gone on in Ukraine? How many politicians in Washington will be exposed if that happens?
I believe what is most threatened here are the future profits of mega corporations like Blackrock who want to cash in on the multi-billion dollar rebuilding of Ukraine.
Let’s remember that Ukraine and Russia had a solution all but signed in March 2022. The West nixed the deal. Since then, hundreds of thousands have died mostly Ukrainians. That blood is on Biden’s hands.
There is absolutely nothing in Vladimir Putin’s speeches, Lavrov’s speeches, or those of any other Russian spokesman that would indicate that Russia has ANY plans to invade NATO. In fact, the Russian ambassador to the US, Anatoly Antonov said, “The United States has lost touch with reality, discussing the likelihood of a direct clash between the Russian Armed Forces and the United States; this is unacceptable for a nuclear power.”
When will Biden decide to threaten Russia with nuclear arms? Are the powers behind Biden so dense that they will turn the world into a nuclear wasteland?
