Biden says Putin using ‘winter as a weapon’

President Biden on Wednesday said that Russian President Vladimir Putin is using “winter as a weapon,” remarks he made at the top of a bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky who is visiting the White House.

“I’m delighted you were able to make the trip and be here. And, you know, it’s an honor to be by your side,” Biden said to Zelensky at their historic meeting. He added that Putin is “escalating his assaults on civilians” and trying to “use winter as a weapon.”

Russia’s war with Ukraine is now stretching into its tenth month.

Biden also announced ahead of Zelensky’s visit that the U.S. is providing an additional $2 billion in assistance aimed to help Ukraine defend against Russian aerial onslaughts that are targeting its energy and electricity infrastructure.

The $2 billion will include Patriot missile batteries, which can help target ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as unmanned aircraft.

Zelensky, at the White House, said he and Biden will discuss topics including “so many challenges in Ukraine, in Europe, in the world, from energy to the situation on the battlefield.”

General Winter has won many a war for Russia.

Geography and climatology used as strategy.

If Bite me wasn’t sending weapons, it would have been over in a few months. CONgress and Bite me are just protecting their money Laundering set up, and Zelinsky is blackmailing CONgress with releasing the truth to the world if they don’t pay.

I could be wrong, but Hitler and Napolean found out the hard way about Russian winters.

Yup. The Emperor Napoleon’s Grand Army froze in Russia, and so did the Wehrmacht.

I read here every night that Putin is dead, shits himself, and falls down the stairs.

I ran the numbers.

The Uniparty needs half a billion to create fake ballots for the JoeTatoe in 2024.

Protecting the airspace with Patriot missiles has a few effects. Beyond protecting civilians, it also protects airfields. And it would also protect the large sustainment apparatus for Abrams tanks. I suspect that sending in Abrams is the eventual endgame.

We’re also sending in JDAMs. I’m guessing that those will be used to break up the Russian defensive lines.

Putin has got 20 or 30 body doubles to spread the cancer, pants-shizzing, steps-falling, dementia, Parkinson’s and other fatal illnesses around.

Putin is learning as well. Without Western help the Soviet Union would be speaking German today.

Russia is incapable of fighting a western war with its infrastructure and supply system. Even if they eventually win in Ukraine, their military be so worn out it will be on par with Argentina and Uruguay. With rusting nukes.

Father Winter loves Russian mobniks because they have no winter clothing, shelter, food, water, ammo, PPE, and sometimes no officers. He likes to watch them stiffen up to await the Spring thaw.

The MIC doesn't want their Abrams showcased on the Ulraine battlefield, after the M777s and the HIMARs fizzled out.
