'Any incursion into Ukraine is an invasion': Blundering Biden is forced to clarify his press conference comments after being accused of 'green lighting' Russian attack on Ukraine
Daily Mail ^ | 1/20/2022 | Geoff Earle

President Joe Biden personally took hold of a White House cleanup effort after his clumsy words about a potential 'minor incursion' by Russia into Ukraine - saying a move by any Russian forces would constitute an unacceptable invasion.

Biden also went further – saying the U.S. would also respond to any moves by 'Little Green Men' – a reference to Russian military moves that are shrouded, as well as cyber actions and 'paramilitary tactics.'

'I've been absolutely clear with President Putin. He has no misunderstanding: If any – any - assembled Russian units move across the Ukrainian border, that is an invasion,' Biden said at the White House on Thursday morning – reading from a prepared text at the top of a meeting.

A while back he bragged about giving Putin a list of 16 targets in the U.S. that were off limits for a cyber attack from the Russians. I guess anything that wasn’t on the list was fair game.

Biden’s comment during his press conference reveals that he is an observer, not a player. He has no knowledge of the behind-the-scene dialog and circumstances shaping the event. Whoever is engaged in that certainly is not Biden.

To the chagrin of Doc Jill, Joek's only engagement is his sphincter with his adult diapers.

Why is it that the US government seems to care a lot more about Ukraine than Europe does?

Poland is currently attempting to build the largest army in Europe because of what's going on in Ukraine, and have been pushing to send far more aid to the Ukrainians. The same is true with all the other European countries in the region.

Germany has officially embraced pacifism as their deterrent strategy, and even stating they won't even specifically commit to any sort of economic sanctions if an invasion occurs. They've also been deliberately attempting to slow-walk or stop NATO transfers of even the most minor weapons to Ukraine.

Why? Because Mama Merkel was a committed Communist in her youth, and everything she does is designed to destroy Europe and make Germany a client state of Moscow.

That would be a question Trump would ask Europe.
We would perhaps not have this deadly game today if....

<>Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire; foreign aid billions threatened
<>Kiev scrambles to make amends with president-elect Trump after working to boost Clinton.
<>Pres Poroshenko and the DC Ukrainian Embassy insist Ukraine stayed neutral.

Donald Trump wasn’t the only presidential candidate whose campaign was boosted by officials of a former Soviet bloc country.

A Politico investigation found
<><>Ukrainian govt officials helped Hillary and trashed Trump, questioning his fitness for office.
<><>They disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption
<><>They suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election.
<><>They helped Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers.

A Ukrainian-American operative who was consulting for the Democratic National Committee met with top officials in the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington in an effort to expose ties between Trump, top campaign aide Paul Manafort and Russia, according to people with direct knowledge of the situation.

The Ukrainian efforts had an impact in the race, helping to force Manafort’s resignation and advancing the narrative that Trump’s campaign was deeply connected to Ukraine’s foe to the east, Russia. But they were far less concerted or centrally directed than Russia’s alleged hacking and dissemination of Democratic emails.

Russia’s effort was personally directed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, involved the country’s military and foreign intelligence services, according to U.S. intelligence officials. They reportedly briefed Trump last week on the possibility that Russian operatives might have compromising information on the president-elect. And at a Senate hearing last week on the hacking, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said “I don’t think we’ve ever encountered a more aggressive or direct campaign to interfere in our election process than we’ve seen in this case.”

There’s little evidence of such a top-down effort by Ukraine. Longtime observers suggest that the rampant corruption, factionalism and economic struggles plaguing the country — not to mention its ongoing strife with Russia — would render it unable to pull off an ambitious covert interference campaign in another country’s election.

And President Petro Poroshenko’s administration, along with the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington, insists that Ukraine stayed neutral in the race.

"Uh, I'm supposed to say..." Thanks, Joe. The heck of it is, no matter what the outcome of the 2022 midterms, foreign policy is still going to be in this fool's handlers' hands.

Still, I'm encouraged by Dementia Joe's recognition of the sanctity of international borders. Too bad it's theirs, not ours.

Innocent civilians are going to die due to Biden’s actions. He has given the green light to Putin.

This is for public consumption.

Bish@t gave the green light to Putin back in December.

When the invasion starts, it’ll be “See, see, we told you he would do this” 24/7.

Two-faced is the only way democrats speak.

The US is going to respond how, Joe?

Strongly worded letter?

Air drop of blankets and socks to Ukrainian citizens trapped behind Soviet lines, maybe?

You’re weak Joe and your threats are confusing and pointless.

Ahhh the consequences of having a president who is just slightly less of intelligent than a potato...

3 more years of this bozo. Hope we as a nation can survive it. Ukraine and Taiwan likely won’t.

We are left to hope that the Biden administration and Joe Biden will have his tiny little balls removed by the “Red Wave” of assistant democrats being swept into office at the midterms. Along with that, we are left to expect that the state media fire the woke lesbian 20 somethings that ladle their pablum. They’ll go back to their blogging about their daddy issues and hating on the white men that refuse to date them

It seems to me that the powers that be are seeking a war between the US and Russia.

Perhaps China is behind the push. Perhaps it serves to prop up Biden by making him a wartime president.

While Russia may indeed want to take over Ukraine, it would not surprise me if our “intelligence” operations were setting up the provocation to make a war happen. They control the media and can easily blame Russia whether Russia initiates this or not.

The Russiagate conspiracy and the Biden shakedown of the Ukraine may be connected with this plan. The Bidens and Clintons have their dirty paws all over it.

After Benghazi and Afghanistan, no one should look to Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden for military leadership, EVER.
