Nonsense. Putin invaded Ukraine because he sensed a weak US presidency in Biden, not because Biden provoked Russia. Biden actually lifted Trump's sanctions on Nord Stream 2 immediately after becoming president.

Biden encouraged Zelensky to order a decree to recapture Crimea and to end the trouble in Donbass. The order called out for various means including militarily. This decree was enacted 9 months prior to the Russian invasion (but AFTER the Trump administration was no longer in power) and Zelensky prepared to militarily retake ALL of Ukraine by sending additional troops and preparing additional fortifications. I have posted that decree several times on Free Republic. That decree was considered surprising since Zelensky ran on a platform of negotiating a settlement with Russia and got over 70% voter support based on that platform.
After his new decree which ran completely counter to his campaign promises Zelensky’s voter approval dropped to 23% (right before the war.)
I have also posted the Rand Report (which the Biden administration ordered and paid for) multiple times which specifically called out engaging Ukraine militarily as the best choice to “weaken, destabilize” Russia and bring about “regime change.”
Now, that is two specific actual pieces of evidence of the Biden administration’s intentions.
And just to clue you in, and heaven knows you need clues, our Deep State government has exactly the same plan in mind for China. They have been ardently trying to get a country in the region to accept our putting in a missile base with missiles directed towards China. Proxy war #2. Fortunately, so far all 5 of the nations we have worked on have refused.
