Joe Biden met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. He got rolled. Given the lengthy history of pressers where he’s lost his train of thought, you know Putin put the screws to him. Biden is all bark and no teeth—literally. He’s grandpa gums. Putin is not afraid of being gummed to death, no one is. The liberal media tried to spin the G-7 Summit and the entirety of this foreign outing as something positive. It wasn’t. You can’t. And now we have these reports that we might be cutting military aid to Ukraine (via Politico):
The Biden White House has temporarily halted a military aid package to Ukraine that would include lethal weapons, a plan originally made in response to aggressive Russian troop movements along Ukraine’s border this spring.
The aid package would be worth up to $100 million, according to four people familiar with internal deliberations.
The National Security Council directed officials to put the package together, as Washington grew increasingly concerned over a massive Russian military buildup near the border with Ukraine and in the Crimean Peninsula, according to three of the people, who like the others asked not to be named in order to speak candidly about internal discussions. Officials at the State Department and Pentagon worked to assemble the proposal.But officials on the National Security Council ended up putting the proposal on hold after Russia announced it would draw down troops stationed near Ukraine and in the lead-up to President Joe Biden’s high-stakes summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
One of the sources said the package is still intact, and could be sent to Ukraine quickly. The Washington Post first reported that the administration considered and has now frozen the package. The fact that National Security Council officials froze the aid and the specific weapons discussed for inclusion in the aid package have not been previously reported.
Key items under consideration for the package include short-range air defense systems, small arms and more anti-tank weapons, according to two people with knowledge of the discussions.
In a statement after this article was published, White House press secretary Jen Psaki took issue with the characterization that aid to Ukraine was lacking: "The idea that we have held back security assistance to Ukraine is nonsense. Just last week—in the run-up to the U.S.-Russia Summit—we provided a $150 million package of security assistance, including lethal assistance."
Of course, the White House would say this, but would it shock you if this were to happen in the coming days or weeks? We already caved on a major Russian pipeline Nord Stream 2. Also, I was told not so long ago that cutting aid to Ukraine was an impeachable offense. It was grounded in a trash lie about some quid pro quo arrangement, but it was clear: cutting aid to satisfy a political aim was impeachable. Again, the quid pro quo circus that engulfed the Trump White House in an impeachment fight was a fairy tale. This looks like Putin browbeat Biden into making this decision on Ukrainian aid at a time when he’s moving close to 100,000 troops in and around the border. Russia already annexed Crimea. Democrats said touching any aid to Ukraine was impeachable. They’re not going to follow their rules; they’re Democrats. But I’m sure the liberal media will take Psaki’s word as gospel whereas Trump’s communications team was ignored. It’s the usual game, but one I would think the liberal media would stop playing since they get flayed alive for being wrong every single time.
Son of a bitch ....
It is only impeachable if the president is named Trump.
They likely were not going to give him the kick back this time. After getting busted last time. The dems may impeach him to get kamala in.
RE: Son of a bitch ....
And I quote. :)
Much was conceded to Putin so that he would not publicly comment on Biden’s dementia or humiliate Biden during joint appearances. Biden, while stopping drilling and energy pipelines within the US, agreed to allow the gas pipeline from Russia to Germany. The EU really appreciated this particular hypocrisy. They were also gladdened when Biden agreed to tax primarily American companies at an agreed international rate that benefits the EU.
The problem here is this.
While it is impeachable, If you impeach and remove this imbecile, then you get one that is even worse. Kamala Harris was an insurance policy against impeachment for “Grandpa Gums” (Thank you for coming up with that nickname who ever did it). This way he can continue his criminal enterprise with impunity until he either dies or becomes so mentally incapacitated he can’t function.
Yet still another example of Traitorjoe giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
So how many times can Traitorjoe deservedly be tried, convicted, and hanged for treason?
I suspect that the Russians have so much on the Biden Crime Syndicate that they can completely control the WH. Biden is a dirty man and everything he ever did in the Ukraine and elsewhere is completely documented in Moscow. Biden knows this and knows he is in their control.
Trump warned the public of the actions Biden would take media went into cover up mode the slow thinkers still voted for him and a dash of rigged election here we are.
He’s not just a risk to this country but to the world.
Xi and Putin wink
When we get the WH back in 2024 then we can bring Ukraine into NATO and arm them to the teeth.
“So how many times can Traitorjoe deservedly be tried, convicted, and hanged for treason?”
Once would be enough, but -
Neva happen, GI. We are just going to have to go through the inevitable crash and burn, and hope there is enough left over so it can be put in a shoebox.
Joe Stolen gets terminated with extreme prejudice.
We had no business getting involved in either the Ukraine or a pipeline serving W. Europe, so Biden unintentionally ended up doing the right thing.
I hope all the American ukrainians who looooooove biden and voted for him, are happy now.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Xiden got pwned.
Anything is impeachable for Democrats if the president is a republican. Nothing is impeachable for Democrats if their guy is in office since they allow and assist his full corruption.
This was a gift to Putin so he could put his man in the President of Ukraine’s chair. He will not come out against Biden and not e-mail bomb out 16 most important sites and he gets to do what he pleases in Ukraine. As Ukraine is a corrupt failed state—good riddance.
