Trump blasts Biden over Russia-Ukraine gaffe
NY Post ^ | January 21, 2022 | 10:23am | By Emily Crane

Former President Donald Trump slammed President Biden on Thursday for allegedly giving Russia the “green light” to invade Ukraine during his chaotic press conference — and suggested something wasn’t “normal” with the commander-in-chief.

“When he said ‘they may go in, they will go in,’ and he talks about a ‘minor incursion,’ I sort of said, ‘I don’t believe he said that,’ because that’s giving the green light,” Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity during a wide-ranging interview.

“He really told them to go in,” Trump added. “I think this is a whole different ball game right now.”

Biden set off alarms in Kiev during his first solo press conference in 10 months when he initially vowed that “Russia will be held accountable” if it launches an attack against Ukraine, but then softened his own vow by saying: “It depends on what it does.”

“It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion

What’s sad is that it has to be said. Too many sheeple out there need to be educated.

Biden actually did better than I would have expected him to, for such a long conference and for actually not vetting all the questions. However, even a Joe Biden amped up on Adderall can’t keep up strategic responses for long. What he let slip is what they probably talked about in their national security meetings. Not only did he make a gaff, he tipped our hand that would had no plans for equivalent response

The man is clearly in cognitive decline. I couldn’t watch, it was so disturbing.

Even more disturbing, people are seemingly O.K. with it.

Of course he told them to “go in”. He practically shouted it, then doubled down when asked by a reporter to clarify.

A nice little war to take the public’s attention off the monumental failures of this administration.

A nice little nuclear war would go even further, because then he could really take charge and dispose of that pesky little irritant, the Constitution.

Forgive my dark thoughts, but these are dark times.

That was not a gaffe. A gaffe is calling your wife fat accidentally or stumbling up a step.

Biden caused a diplomatic incident of major importance and revealed a lack of seriousness and understanding worthy of Pee Wee Herman without the charm.

Biden's an imbecile. Quelle surprise! But unfortunately for the Ukrainians their territory has been part of the Russian and then Soviet empires for centuries. They are not members of NATO, so we have no treaty obligations to help defend them. And the people running the place seem to be your typical post-Soviet corrupt kleptocracy. In short, and despite Americans of Ukrainian extraction who are emotionally committed (or the Bidens and other Obama apparatchiks, who are financially involved), the place isn't worth a drop of American blood or treasure.

A Russian Ukrainian war is the globalists’ plan. Have white people killing themselves off will save them oven costs later.

Oh I definitely agree that we shouldn’t be enter a theater of war that is on the opposite side of the globe and right on the boarder with the enemy, let alone the fact that I don’t agree with us being World Police anyway. Even Biden has said that the response would be economic and it would be coordinated, and I don’t know how many in on that activity, but to turn around in a press conference and imply that “minor” military action wouldn’t get a reaction is more than just a gaff. A gaff is when you miss speak or don’t phrase something concisely. This was a strategic bed-crapping

When do the impeachment investigations begin?!
Trump was impeached over a phone call that was a lie!

It’s possible the dust up with Russia is ‘Clinton bombing an Aspirin Factory’....

CHANGE THE SUBJECT

Some poll showed democrat thugs that 24/7 hatred - aimed at Republicans and traditional American families of all races - wasn’t working. Ukraine’s a corrupt hellhole known for paying off democrat filth with wads of cash... AND Bernie has a long history with the old USSR...

Senile Sleepy Joe tries to comprehend many different voices he hears: The first ones are the voices coming from inside his own head such as, Where am I? What year is it? Does President Harris know what I'm doing? What is that scent - it smells like a girl's hair I recently sniffed. Who took my ice cream cone? The second set of voices he hears comes from his earpiece operated by his handlers. He probably hears other voices, too. Then Sleepy Joe has to deal with the extremely challenging task of reading what his handlers put on his teleprompter. It's far too much for a senile Sleepy person to handle.

Biden and family members seem to have an extremely shady political history over the past half century: Hunter Biden, senile Sleepy Joe's own very questionable activities, etc.

That's what the U.S. gets when Democrat/RINO voters blindly vote for "the other guy" (regardless of who he is) simply because they were irked by "orange man bad's mean tweets." Hey, Dems, if your socialist MSM didn't relentlessly attack President Trump 24/7/365 (as you ordered the MSM to do), he wouldn't have had to resort to the gestapo Twitter and gestapo Instagram in the first place to communicate with the American people. Of course, Mark Zuckerberg & Jack Dorsey permanently banned President Trump from using their Facebook/Instagram & Twitter platforms. Result: President Trump couldn't communicate with the American people through the MSM and President Trump couldn't communicate with the American people on the mainstream social networks. (Yet another component of the far-left Democrats' strategy for stealing the election - own the media and own social networks.)

......

Especially two weeks before the election when the Hunter Biden laptop, which had been completely vetted, was exposed. The corruption of the Biden family, especially with China, was what should’ve been stressed in the few attempts Trump was able to make to publicize it. Rudy Giuliani had to go all around the country showing it and talking about it to small media venues. No national news except Fox News and the NYPost would touch it. They still have not.

I don't follow politics and political news anywhere near as closely as many people on FR. But I did happen to see a segment of Fox News's Tucker Carlson before the stolen election, around the time of the Hunter Biden thing. And I remember Carlson looking very somber, advising the audience that he and others should just drop the Hunter Biden thing. And he said he would no longer report on it. That suddenly made me leery of Fox News, too. There was actually something to investigate and they just say, no, we're not going to look into it. Okaaaaaay ..........

At this point, I really distrust virtually all media, including Fox News. I used to be like Reagan: Trust but verify. Now I'm: Distrust and verify.
