That doesn’t take Putin off of the hook whatsoever, but it is true.
of doing nothing when Russia invaded Crimea while Biden was VP under Obama.
Stop lying - at least to us if not to yourself. We all remember. You can’t spin things into truth.
...here is JB's actual quote clarifying his position (Jan. 20, 2022)...something that Baron failed to investigate...(from NPR)
---------------------
"If any — any — assembled Russian units move across the Ukrainian border, that is an invasion," Biden said, adding that it would result in a "severe and coordinated economic response" that he has discussed with allies.
"Let there be no doubt at all that if [Russian President Vladimir] Putin makes this choice, Russia will pay a heavy price," the president said. But he also said the United States needed to be prepared for other scenarios beyond overt military tactics, such as paramilitary operations or cyber attacks.
--------------------
That is anything but a "Welcome Mat" to Putin
Note also, that the Biden administration supplied and trained Ukrainians on the use of critical Anti-Tank Javelin missiles during the prior year...missiles that kept Putin from seizing Kiev.
For whatever reason, Baron can't be trusted to post anything resembling the truth.
No serious person in the foreign policy community believes that shit.
The Biden admin spent months warning Vlad not to do it. And actually aided Ukraine, unlike your hero.
before the attack (or long after the invasion happened until it became clear that against all odds, they were not swiftly conquered).
Also, Biden only sent blankets with Putin's last invasion into the country.
You can't change history by simply stating a falsehood with false bravado.
We all watched. Biden said that he would be willing to tolerate a "minor incursion" from Putin into Ukraine. The debate afterwards centered around why he had made this critical gaffe. The prevailing belief is that this was the idea of tolerating a minor incursion would be tolerated if Putin invaded, and Biden heard that since he was at the meeting. But with his early, but progressive dementia, he blabbed it out on the world news much to everyone's horror.
Further Chris, Biden's words over several weeks were undermined by his prior actions....and they don't matter when your most recent words are that you'll tolerate a "minor incursion" with troops amassed at the border.
It looks like he changed his mind and was giving Putin a message not to "overdo it". Putin invaded very shortly thereafter.
Your memory is truly feeble.
Biden at a press conference where he was asked what he thought Putin was goi g to do with all,of those troops at the Ukrainian border (for which Biden had still not pledged any meaningful military help:
“My guess Is that he (Putin) will move in” and then promised sanctions only. He then said this:
“ And it depends on what it does. It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion and we end up having to fight about what to do and not do," Biden added.
Zelensky had a cow when he said it, and BidenHandlers spent the next week several days trying to quell the storm. But they couldn’t take the words back.
I cannot believe your revisionist history on this. It is deceitful. And diminishing The Heritage Foundation with it’s plethora of foreign policy experts is pathetic.
The Left cannot scrub history from their site (and not completely from their own either). I remember it well, even if you spin around the facts in your mind to fit your worldview.
Little Green Man would sacrifice every man, woman, and child in Ukraine in this quixotic adventure.
We’ve been in many pissing matches over this illegal war, so please know that’s not my intention. I’d just like to know how you would rectify the situation.
The war is in Donbas which has refused to participate elections since 2014 anyway. Russia just set an example. They had parliamentary election 3 weeks ago.
But it’s hard for you to accept the fact, I know.
It’s illegal according to the Ukrainian constitution to hold elections during a state of martial law.
Also, there are security risks such as Russian interference and danger to the public. Tell me how would front line troops be able to cast ballots.
Yeah, Russia is a great example of fair and free elections. Damn, you’re an imbecile.
Want me to lecture you how Russian troops in frontline voted? My pleasure.
But you’re just too hypocritical to be lectured.
You’re a disgrace and you should renounce your American citizenship.
Russian “elections” have meaning? Putin runs the show. No one who doesn’t kowtow to him will get “.elected.” Russia ain’t a democracy, dummy.
It’s meaningless to you, not to Russians. 46 Ukraine-Russia war veterans got elected to parliament. Putin’s party won more seats. It means a lot to Russians.
And I couldn’t care less if they mean anything to brainwashed Russian savages. Hopefully a Ukrainian drone finds them in the open. Eat a bag of dicks.
He lamented how the Russians were unable to take Kiev on day 1. Blamed some vague general for getting off a highway and into the mud (all nonsense, but that goes without saying).
But he said that it was too bad that Russia did not win on day 1.
I can’t wait until he goes away. Then all these MAGA chuds will say that they never really liked him.
he's out of office.
Whatever it takes, he needs to be protected and always returned to U.S. soil so he can stand trial for all he's done.
members of this forum don't care.
