Jill Biden Goes to Ukraine but Joe’s Actions Tell the Real Story – Opinion

We’ve seen a lot of world leaders and politicians visit Ukraine now. Boris Johnson (UK Prime Minister) was the first person to walk down with Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukrainian president. The first U.S. officials who visited after the invasion were Republicans, including Senator Steve Daines (R.MT) and Rep. Victoria Spartz(R.IN), which both arrived in April. A week ago, Nancy Pelosi (D.CA), House Speaker and a congressional delegation visited the area. Antony Blinken is Secretary of State has been there as has Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.

Jill Biden even made an unannounced trip. Her previous visits to Romania and Slovakia were her inspiration. On Mother’s Day, she went over the border from Slovakia and spent about two hours there including meeting with Zelensky’s wife for about half an hour and visiting a public school in Uzhhorod that is being used as temporary housing and shelter for 163 displaced Ukrainians, including 47 children.

Guess who hasn’t been there yet? You got it: Joe Biden — while he’s funneling all our weapons there and depleting our stocks, with his people not being able to ensure that they’re all going to the places they’re supposed to be going. President Biden has said he would like to go but he is “not allowed.” Who is it that dictates to — allegedly — the most powerful man in the free world?

Those people weren’t dictating to President Donald Trump when he and Melania Trump went into the conflict zone in Iraq in 2018.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump visited Iraq unannounced to meet with U.S. soldiers stationed in the country.

They probably figured it best considering how badly he had messed up his previous visit to the region when he visited Poland. He also made some dangerous gaffes during remarks. He suggested that American troops could be headed to Ukraine, and that regime change was the U.S. policy against Vladimir Putin. Likely, the Biden team didn’t want to take the chance, sending him again. The White House had to clean up after those comments, saying no, American troops would not be sent to Ukraine and no, they weren’t advocating for regime change.

I don’t think it’s a question of safety if they’re willing to send Jill and everyone else including Pelosi. That’s a sad commentary on where things are with Joe Biden.
