Some in the media can’t stop fawning over President Biden’s surprise visit to Ukraine. Headlines celebrating Biden’s “momentous 72 hours in Europe” have run all week. Some have even claimed that, in one visit, Biden single-handedly “destroyed Putin’s last hope” and delivered a so-called “gut punch” to Moscow. With one single trip to Ukraine, President Biden became a foreign policy mastermind in the eyes of the media. But regardless of the visit’s symbolic value, policy is what matters.
It’s Biden’s failed policies that have emboldened our adversaries abroad. From Russia to China, our adversaries can see past ceremonial visits and sense weakness in the White House. And sadly, the worst is yet to come. The Biden administration is preparing for what will be yet another foreign policy failure.
If recent reports are true, the Biden administration will soon release to Iran $9 billion dollars of funds currently blocked by U.S. sanctions. Further, the disbursement of funds coincides with a prisoner exchange that would release some of Iran’s worst criminals back into society. In return, some American hostages currently held in Iranian prisons will finally be sent home.
The release of funds will inevitably improve Iran’s ability to manufacture more weapons for Putin’s war. Iran has become Russia’s go-to country for the supply of drones used against Ukraine. For example, in December, Russia attacked Ukraine with 16 Iranian-made drones in a single night. And recent reports indicate that Iran might soon build an entire factory in Russia, dedicated to producing over 6,000 drones for the war in Ukraine.
Indeed, several neighborhoods not too far from where President Biden toured on his surprise visit to Kyiv were decimated by Iranian drones. It’s unclear how the President can deliver a so-called “gut punch” to Putin, while also planning to bail out one of Putin’s chief arms dealers. Lost in the noise of all the fanfare surrounding Biden’s visit is his most self-defeating foreign policy decision to date: financing Ukraine to defeat the same Iranian weapons that he is indirectly funding.
It doesn’t take a PhD in foreign policy to understand how ludicrous such a deal would be to United States interests. Delivering billions of dollars to one of the world’s most barbaric regimes is absurd, even by President Biden’s standards. When our enemies shout “death to America” while building nuclear weapons, perhaps we should think twice before throwing them an economic lifeline.
It’s also no surprise that Tehran is demanding cash. American sanctions reimposed during the Trump administration debilitated Iran’s economy. The rial has fallen to a record low of 501,300 rial against the U.S. dollar. The Iranian government purportedly wants to use the funds—which are currently frozen in South Korean banks—for food, medicine, or “other humanitarian purposes.” But if history is any indication, Iran is not to be trusted.
To be sure, the Biden administration ought to continue its work to return American citizens to safety. Siamak Namazi, who was left behind in the 2016 U.S.-Iran prisoner exchange, has been held hostage for seven years—longer than any other American in history. Two other Americans, Morad Tahbaz and Emad Shargi, were thrown into Iranian prisons on bogus “espionage charges” over four years ago. In addition to these citizens, an unknown number of permanent U.S. legal residents are also being unjustly held in violation of international law.
President Biden must ensure that all—not just some—of these innocent American citizens be sent home to their families. And at a minimum, the Biden administration ought to negotiate their release without rewarding Iran with $9 billion in the process.
Simply put, the American people deserve better from their Commander-in-Chief. It’s time that President Biden take American national security seriously. Reversing course on this one-sided deal with our enemy might be a good start.
When we tolerate corruption we don’t “deserve better”.
We deserve corruption.
It would be good to remember when Donald Trump was President,he kept Vladimir Putin in his place. Now since Joe Biden has entered the Oval Office of White House, Putin has thrown off all restraints and has become very dangerous and deadly Ukraine.
Biden will only make this terrible situation even worse. For making things worse in the only Biden is able to do.
For Biden is a disaster for America, for Ukraine , for Russia and a disaster for the world.
It should be remembered that Vladimir Putin using the Russian military to invade and destroy Ukraine didn’t happen when President Trump was in the White House he kept Putin under control. If Donald Trump would still of President this Putin disaster in Ukraine would not have occurred.
Now with Joe Biden masquerading as a genuine US President Putin has become totally out of control, irrational and very dangerous.
Don’t forget it is Bozo Joe and his KAPO stooge boy giving Palestinian terrorists over 550 million a year EVEN AFTER THEY TELL US THEY WILL CONTINUE TO USE THIS MONEY TO REWARD THE FAMILIES OF TERRORISTS WHO MURDER ISRAELI WOMEN AND CHILDREN – AND US CITIZENS BESIDES.
And this too, after the Bozo is screaming about Social Security becoming extinct in 12 years. Pity it is he, Jill, Hunter, Blinken, Garland, that entire motley crew of crooks, traitors and America-haters who DO NOT BECOME EXTINCT NOW.
We’d be much better off if they disappeared for good – NOW.
The tragedy might be that America has reached the end of her being a Republic. With the now corrupted FBI with its abuse of its power as observed that it took a sinister part in the insidious set up against the patriots on January 6, 2021 and the later FBI harassment of American Patriots who attended that January 6th rally and the Biden gulag for tyrant Joe’s political prisoners from the day of 1/6/22 and later the FBI raid invasion of residents of Donald Trump, along which many awful other event sines that have occurred since Biden took Office on 1/20/21 those are omens that are overwhelming that United States is come to the very end of her Republic. This is indeed, very tragic and sad.
With the infected and thoroughly infiltrated leftist FBI and considering all the terrible harm Joe Biden has done to the United States is still doing and will continue to do is so very horrendously terrible that the damage might be irreversible . I really hope I’m wrong.
President imposter Joe Biden is leading America to ruin. The terrible harm that Biden is doing to the USA might even be irreversible. As Abraham Lincoln had said, “You can’t unscramble eggs.”
That Socialist, tyrant, Joe Biden, likes and admires Communist China very much and will support that Red tyranny as for a he is able to. Likewise, Biden won’t oppose its President Xi Jinping in any way.
Biden has such a strong admiration for Red China that he even has his Beijing type political prison in Washington DC which must obviously be modeled on how Communist China mistreats and abuses its own political prisoners who were falsely arrested on January 6, 2021 at Washington D.C
For in the Biden gulag the American patriots falsely arrested in that leftist set up gets worse, those the patriots are kept 23 hours alone in single dark moldy cells to not working plumbing, and this means not even a working toilet. They are also given little food and the little they do receive is of very poor quality. In other words the food is terrible, they are also denied proper medical care, no matter how much anyone on them might desperately need it
This is like the political prison in Communist China. So it’s no wonder that Joe Biden likes Red China and have many of his polices favoring that Red tyranny.
The ancient Greek Philosopher, Plato, did have a good valid point when he had written, “The measure of a man is what he does with power.”
When applying that wise statement to Joe Biden, his “measure” is more than lacking, it’s outright terrible.
For Biden is the obedient “lap dog” of the Communist President of China, Xi Jinping. Likewise, Biden is also the faithful supporting servant the close ally of Red China .Which is that anti-America “mullah regime” of Iran. That hates the United States that it sets up billboards in Tehran that read “Death to America” and calls the US “The great Satan.”
Surely, the “measure” of Joe Biden is so very horrendously evil that he is an affront to the Office of the Presidency of the United States and a disgrace to the US Constitution as well as a calamity for America and a disaster for the American people.
To think that demented man .Joe Biden, has the power of the United States Presidency in America is a disturbing.
Biden can’t handle national affairs is a reason sensible logical way so how much less is he able to handle international situations of serious concerns.
Proof enough of this is that he can’t hardly even speak a rational statement. For many times, when he speaks, he exposes just how feeble -minded and nonsensical he really is.
For example, one time in a speech Biden said “The old expression ‘Time is money.’ As one computer said ‘If you’re on the train as they say Portal Bridge, you know you better make other plans.’ ”
What an idiot Joe Biden is. It’s horrible that he’s supposed to be “America’s President.”
Many times Joe Biden simply ignores questions posed to him by the media and just walks off . The reason for this is because he so terribly unintelligent that he isn’t able to provide answer to those questions that well-reasoned and logical.
As the ancient Greek philosopher, Plato wrote, “The penalty for refusing to take part in politics is to be ruled men inferior to yourself.”
