How will President Biden handle the Ukraine crisis? He has already alerted roughly 10K troops for deployment to Eastern Europe. Does Biden have to skill set to deal with the Russian President.
Personally I think President Biden is in way over his head. If you look at Biden’s foreign policy record, well it’s a complete failure.
Foreign Policy
The most recent failure is of course Afghanistan. The disastrous withdrawal and loss of 13 Service Members. Biden acts like it was a last second decision to get everyone out. Also he left, and yes I say HE because ultimately Biden is the Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces, HE left 85 Billion dollars worth of military equipment for the Taliban that will be used on Afghan citizens and help support terrorist groups.
Other fails from Biden, From The Atlantic:
- In 1975, Biden opposed giving aid to the South Vietnamese government during its war against the North, ensuring the victory of a brutal regime and causing a mass exodus of refugees.
- In 1991, Biden opposed the Gulf War, one of the most successful military campaigns in American history. Not only did he later regret his congressional vote, but in 1998, he criticized George H. W. Bush for not deposing Saddam Hussein, calling that decision a “fundamental mistake.”
- In 2003, Biden supported the Iraq War—another congressional vote he later regretted.
- In 2007, he opposed President George W. Bush’s new counterinsurgency strategy and surge in troops in Iraq, calling it a “tragic mistake.” In fact, the surge led to stunning progress, including dramatic drops in civilian deaths and sectarian violence.
- In December 2011, President Barack Obama and Vice President Biden withdrew America’s much-scaled-down troop presence in Iraq; the former had declared Iraq to be “sovereign, stable, and self-reliant,” and the latter had predicted that Iraq “could be one of the great achievements of this administration.” Their decision sent Iraq spiraling into sectarian violence and civil war, allowing Iran to expand its influence and opening the way for the rise of the jihadist group ISIS.
- According to Obama’s memoir A Promised Land, Biden had advised the former president to take more time before launching the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
- Ten years ago, Biden said in an interview that “the Taliban per se is not our enemy.” He added, “If, in fact, the Taliban is able to collapse the existing government, which is cooperating with us in keeping the bad guys from being able to do damage to us, then that becomes a problem for us.” Indeed.
How will he deal with Putin in the Ukraine
I think Putin will eat Joe Biden for lunch. I have zero confidence it our President’s ability to negotiate with Putin or any world leader for that matter. Biden does not have the cognitive ability to do so. Those he has chosen to advise him are in over their heads, they just do not have a clue either. Putin served in the KGB, so he knows how to manipulate people and get what he wants. We have to remember that Putin is a hardliner and puts Russia first. Unlike the puppet we have in office now who seems to put everyone else first instead of American’s and their allies.
What’s to come?
How will President Biden handle the Ukraine crisis? Who knows, the last thing people want is a shooting war with Russia. I think we get get clobbered. Not because our troops are not up to the task, but because inept leadership unable to make quick decisions under real pressure.
Lets just hope for a peaceful solution.
