What Joe Biden Actually Did in Ukraine
NYT ^ | Nov 10, 2019 | Glenn Thrush and Kenneth P. Vogel

When Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2014, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. pressed President Barack Obama to take decisive action, and fast, to make Moscow “pay in blood and money” for its aggression. The president, a Biden aide recalled, was having none of it.

Mr. Biden worked Mr. Obama during their weekly private lunches, imploring him to increase lethal aid, backing a push to ship FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank missiles to Kiev. The president flatly rejected the idea and dispatched him to the region as an emissary, cautioning him “about not overpromising to the Ukrainian government,” Mr. Biden would later write in a memoir.

So, Mr. Biden threw himself into what seemed like standard-issue vice-presidential stuff: prodding Ukraine’s leaders to tackle the rampant corruption that made their country a risky bet for international lenders — and pushing reform of Ukraine’s cronyism-ridden energy industry.

“You have to be whiter than snow, or the whole world will abandon you,” Mr. Biden told the country’s newly elected president, Petro O. Poroshenko, during an early 2014 phone call, according to former administration officials.

Well since the NYT says Biden is whiter than snow then Trump has to be impeached.

Like Alice in Wonderland, the NY Times would have us believe seven impossible things before breakfast. But they will never convince me they are a “newspaper”.

Only the quacks at the NYT would buy this garbage. They’re just trying to throw Joe a life buoy to keep his failing hopes alive.

My, my, my, my. . . If making Moscow pay for this invasion was so important to Mr. Biden, why was firing this Ukrainian Prosecutor so much more important that he would cancel $1 billion in aid to the Ukrainians that would have helped them fight Moscow??? It makes no sense, does it?

Does the liberal media have no shame? Of course not.

Biden can relax this evening, put on a few 45s on his record player (Guy Lombardo or Lawrence Welk---take his pick.) His scandal worries are behind him.

Unless the NYT is deliberately lying and covering for him due to media bias. Then his ugly scandals and his dope taking son are in deep trouble.

I think WE were supposed to sacrifice our servicemen (and women) to Russia in Ukraine’s place, and then lose, allowing the ChiComs to take the reins here and go fight far fewer Russians.

“Son of a Bitch”

The Tale of Prosecutor and a crackhead.

It’s almost like the New York Times is purposely printing Fairy Tales for Quid Pro Joe.

Would Trump have access to the transcript of Biden’s phone calls? If so, President Trump should release them as well as his own calls.
