Monica Showalter of the American Thinker doesn’t like the nature of President Biden’s response to foreign crisis.
Joe Biden, the man who has been “wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades,” as former defense secretary Bob Gates wrote, has nebulously put the U.S. on a path to war with Russia. Not because he wants to. But because he doesn’t know what he’s doing.
That’s the consensus of foreign policy experts as diverse as Thomas Friedman, golf buddy to President Obama, and Mark Wauck, the decorated former FBI official from its pre-wokedom era. …
… Friedman cited the leaks from supposed U.S. officials declaring that the U.S. had given Ukraine intelligence to enable it to target and kill Russian generals, and that the U.S. had given targeting information to Ukraine to help it sink the Moskva, Russia’s Black Sea flagship naval ship. …
… Both have pointed out that Biden doesn’t really know what he’s doing.
Friedman: “Boasting about killing his generals and sinking his ships, or falling in love with Ukraine in ways that will get us enmeshed there forever, is the height of folly.”
Wauck: “This leads to speculation that is little less disturbing than the idea that elements within the US government—carefully concealed behind deliberately vague sourcing statements—are, in fact, attempting to walk the US up to the brink of war, but that other elements, prominently in the Pentagon, are resisting rushin’ to war.”
Now we see the next shoe to drop — Biden signing a new bill to enable arms sales to Ukraine on easier, streamlined terms. …
… This takes us yet another step closer to direct war with Russia.
There may be “wag-the-dog” reasons for these decisions. But just as likely, the Bidenites are allowing themselves to be jerked around by various sources from defense contractors eager for big contracts, to Trump haters of the Rep. Adam Schiff variety eager to “prove” that President Trump was the bad guy on Ukraine. …
