President Biden is rejecting calls from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism.

The White House said Tuesday that the designation could have “unintended consequences for Ukraine and the world” and undermine the U.S. ability to support Ukraine at the negotiating table.

“We do not think this is the most effective way to go or the strongest path forward,” White House press secretary Karine Jeanne-Pierre told reporters.

We prefer the continued path of heavy inflation both here and abroad.

“Biden refuses to designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism”

His people understand the downside - that the other 70% of the world will start arresting his people and the Neocons for War Crimes and trial in Moscow.

...so best not to go there.

Zelensky has a lot of gall to even ask.

But of course, Joe Stolen would have no difficulty at all in designating the MAGA movement as a sponsor of terrorism.

Joe is terrified of MAGA, an isn’t that enough? MAGA is
against the kind of “democracy” embraced by the regime now lodged in the Oval Office. But a representative republic whose members are chosen by open and fair elections does not fit that definition of “democracy”.

Why not the US, which funded and fought on the side of ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood under Obama?

If Russia is a state sponsor of terrorism than so is America and every NATO country.

If the Russians start flying planes into our skyscrapers, chopping off the heads of our journalists and planting bombs on our ships we will. Sorry, Z, you can’t *always* get your way — and you appear to be getting too big for your britches.

Kinda like the unintended consequences of the Biden Sanctions?

Biden reserves that title for MAGA Republicans.

Biden contributes more, both financially and politically, to terrorism than Russia...

Biden has generously tithed billions and billions to Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Indonesia, and Pakistan...

Following in the footsteps of his former Kenyan boss (who is now de facto a 3rd term President)...

Obunghole’s virtual presence in the WH has Libya, Sudan, South Africa, and Yemen already lining up with outstretched bank accounts...

Well, Russia supports Iran.

But, Biden does too.
