Biden cares more about winning the war against Russia more than fixing America's problems

He's basically admitting responsibility that our assistance is probably a rather big factor in gas prices today. Now I know why putting a democratic buttkisser in the White House is really not the best idea. I doubt that his team are necessarily pulling the strings behind this particular speech. I think it's probably his very personal opinion that foreign policy matters to the point where it ends up hurting America. Helping other countries is only worth it as long as it doesn't have an adverse effect on America.

Now I see that Trump would probably have been better than a President who ends up doing nothing but putting our Country at risk. I hope this adds further to the regrets that several Democrats already have about putting him in power.

its too late now, everyone thought a 79 yr old dementia patient was a good idea. could you imagine Trump blaming Putin for the same thing? the dems would burn him at the stake for saying that.

Fat Donnie is not 79 yet, and clinically speaking, Fat Donnie suffers from advanced Alzheimer's.

They would impeach him again lol.

Putin is America's problem, and after Fat Donnie spent four years enabling and empowering him, it will not be an easy fix for President Biden.

Whatever Trump says, or said he thought or believed it was always a cynical play for political support - you cannot trust it. He said he did not like NATO but all the way he was supporting the same US/NATO policy against Russia w.r.t Ukraine, arming, training and speaking provocative words.

That said, Biden is a creep. America is in real trouble when one party cannot even field any candidate that supports the American people, democracy, and the Constitution, and the other party feels like it can get away with anything just by virtue of not being totally insane.

The Ukraine war would never have started without US pressure on NATO to accept Ukraine as a member when they knew that Russia had spoken out about that for years - the same as the US would object to violations of the Monroe Doctrine. Still, the US/NATO meddled in the politics of Ukraine

- appointing their Presidents,
- manipulating their media,
- setting their laws to put NATO into their Constitution,
- outlawing the use of Russian in public.
- shutting down opposition media channels.
- shipping arms,
- building caches,
- training soldiers in NATO tactics,
- training soldiers in foreign NATO wars,
- allowing the Nationalists to shell Donbass and kill from 12,000 to 16,000 civilians
- refusing to allow negotiated deals like the Minsk Agreement or the Budapest agreement to work.

The west provoked this war at a time when Russia is not a threat to the US - China is our "peer competitor" as John Mearsheimer puts it. The thing Trump got right was that it would be better if we got along with Russia ... but he never made the case or did anything to see that that happened. He was lying, incompetent or just manipulating people for political and monetary support.

Biden on the other hand has been all in on this program since before 2014 and Maidan. It is despicable, and now because the Republicans are so unacceptable Biden thinks that instead of following through on his promise of being a one-term President he can run again - dishonest and liar that he is and win.

The Ukraine problem fell into Biden's lap. The bipartisan support for Ukraine suggests that any president would have done and been doing the same thing, except maybe Trump who would have wanted something in return or perhaps he would have sided with fellow authoritarian Putin.
Biden was the guy that got us out of the quagmire known as Afghanistan (executed horribly, admittedly, the 13 dead soldiers was tragic and avoidable). But being out is saving us money, resources and human effort. It's a shame we had to go right into another war but at least it's not costing us as much financially.

Putin apologists must be young punks. Putin is KGB and pines for the Good Ol Days!

Do you realize every patriot had to be anti Soviet before 1990? You could not hold office if you were pro Kremlin.
