Biden Turns on Ukraine, Too
National Review ^ | April 10, 2024 | NOAH ROTHMAN

Posted on 04/13/2024 10:31:43 AM PDT by MinorityRepublican

This week, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin all but confirmed a blockbuster report in the Financial Times from late March indicating that the Biden administration was prepared to sacrifice Ukraine’s battlefield objectives if they imperiled his own reelection prospects.

In testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Austin scolded Ukraine for executing long-range attacks on Russian oil refineries. “Ukraine is better served in going after tactical and operational targets that can directly influence the current fight,” the Pentagon chief said. But Austin gave away the game when he fretted that Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian infrastructure “could have a knock-on effect.

Don’t have access to article but seems to me that if you destroy the source by which the troops and equipment move it certainly hinders their efforts!

Biden never supported Ukraine. All he wanted was the proxy war to attrit Russia’s military capabilities. That didn’t go as planned. Just like everything he plans doesn’t go well.

Gas certainly spiked overnight. I expected it to be even more expensive by November.

The Ukrainians were fools to ever trust Biden and the globalist elite that wanted this proxy war with Russia.

Funny how we made Russia the force that can destroy Europe by frightening Europe into warring against them by claiming Russia was going to take over Europe.

Crimea River. This can’t happen soon enough.

I hope Victoria Nuland and Alexander Vindman get over there to help Ukraine make its last stand.

Zeep, Zeep, Zeep, ta Zeep!
Zeepers learn the fate of their folly with Jolly Joe Democrat!

I said it a dozen times over, never trust the Democrats if you depend on America.

The democrats are the most opportunistic of all Americans. He[[ they should be considered traitors.

Mean and whole, the Russians told the UN on Thursday to get prepared for unconditional terms of surrender for all Ukraine.

So the Pentagon is signaling the departure of US “personnel”. The CIA will be in evacuation mode too.

Ah, the stench of Democrats repeated betrayals of so called allies. May the Zeepers learn from their failures to listen to the truth. As I predicted it is mid April and the front is breaking and the that Gas Station masquerading as an Army of shovels without missiles have shut down the power grid, and the water is out in many areas too.

In July the Russian Drone Superiority will be offendively replacing 90% of infantry and vehicle losses of Russia. Get prepared for total slaughter if the Uke’s in late July by drones, Fab3000s, and aircraft.

Like Bones always said, “He is dead Jim”.

RIP UKRAINE cira 2024.

Contrary to the silliness about Biden as a warmonger, he’s just a leftist idiot.

It’s not just Ukraine, how do you think the Afghani’s who backed the USA as interpreters feel after Biden abandoned them.

The USA has a long history of supporting countries in a war and then abandoning them in the end and leave them to the mercy of the other side.

We should have done nothing. Zelensky should have left on day one in a helicopter.

The Ukrainians will fight a guerilla war. Eventually, in 10 years or so, the Russians will have to withdraw. Just like they did in Afghanistan.

Anyway, the next step is whether Macron is going to send French troops to Kyiv. Or is he all talk?

Partly, but the US is on record “ asking” the Ukies to stop the pin prick attacks on Russia’s oil refineries. The reason given was the attacks will result in much higher oil prices.

As predicted , Vlad put a temporary halt to it by hammering, absolutely hammering the Ukies electricity grid. Much of Ukraine lies with on/off electricity, many regions in the dark. It was just a warning, Vlad can put them in total darkness at will.

Why do the Ukies ( and the West) keep comitting suicide?

Prepare for Afghanistan debacle II. So predictable. Vlad holds all the cards- especially with senile Joe and his brain dead EU leadership.

Anyone who supports anything senile Joe does is brain dead- by design or stupidity history will record America fell beginning with his Ukie war.

We shouldn't have left Afghanistan and let the Taliban takeover. But, that is on Biden.

We should never have meddled in Ukraine and fomented an illegal coup that setoff a civil war.

Biden's only real interest in Ukraine has been burying and whitewashing the incredible corruption, payoffs, bribes, and influence peddling that has been going on since 2014 (if not before).

"Nobody fscks with a Biden" has been the rule, and it still guides US policy.

Nope, you are giving Traitor Joe WAY too much credit. Nothing he does is to help the US. He and the other rats saw it as a great money laundering op right from the beginning.

“...by design or stupidity history will record America fell beginning with his Ukie war.”

The specific starting point of the fall of America is hard to determine (if in fact there is one), but my vote’s for the election of Caliph Baraq.
