Joe Biden took one terrible gamble that will make Donald Trump’s blood boil
Joe Biden isn’t going away quietly.
Biden’s last two months in office shouldn’t be where big decisions get made as Biden is the lamest of lame ducks.
And Joe Biden took one awful gamble that will make Donald Trump’s blood boil.
Joe Biden risks nuclear war with Russia
Donald Trump’s election win provided a mandate to end the war in Ukraine.
Trump campaigned on negotiating a peace deal that will avoid World War III.
Joe Biden is trying to scuttle those plans.
Biden took a frightening trip up the escalation ladder by granting the Ukrainians the authority to use ATACM long range missile systems to launch attacks deep inside Russian territory.
Since the Ukrainians can’t operate these systems without American support, the Kremlin said this move amounted to America in direct conflict with Russia.
“If such a decision was indeed formulated and brought to the Kyiv regime, then this is a qualitatively new round of tension and a qualitatively new situation from the point of view of US involvement in this conflict,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declared.
“It is obvious that the outgoing administration in Washington intends to take steps to continue adding fuel to the fire and continue to provoke tension around this conflict,” Peskov continued.
National security experts slammed the move by Biden both for risking nuclear war with Russia and to recklessly complicate Donald Trump’s ability to negotiate a pace deal to end the two year long conflict.
“It’s essential to understand,” former Pentagon official Elbridge Colby stated, adding that Biden “is leaving a terrible situation [for Trump].”
“There’s no benefit from a U.S. national security perspective. Heightened proxy attacks inside Russia only elevate risk with Russia and will make the war harder to wind down,” author and international security professor Max Abrahams also said.
Former Trump administration Ambassador to Germany and acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell concurred.
“No one anticipated that Joe Biden would ESCALATE the war in Ukraine during the transition period,” Grenell declared. “This is as if he is launching a whole new war. Everything has changed now – all previous calculations are null and void. And all for politics.”
The Biden administration told the Daily Caller it didn’t view allowing Ukraine to strike targets inside Russia as a risk.
“Observing no changes to Russia’s nuclear posture, we have not seen any reason to adjust our own nuclear posture or doctrine in response to Russia’s statements today,” a White House National Security spokesperson said in a statement to the Daily Caller. “This is more of the same irresponsible rhetoric from Russia, which we have seen for the past two years.”
A shooting war with Russia will result in nuclear exchanges and the end of all life on earth.
Donald Trump understands this which is why a Ukraine peace deal is tops on his list of foreign policy priorities.
