WaPo Columnist Hilariously Claims Biden ‘Is Once Again Turning America Into the Arsenal of Democracy’ – Opinion

If you’re not familiar with Washington Post columnist Max Boot, you will be by the end of this article, trust me. Moreover, you’ll also form an opinion or two about this guy, how he thinks, and how truly delusional he is. Meanwhile, here are a couple of tidbits from Boot’s biography to ponder as we proceed.

Max Boot is a historian, best-selling author, and foreign-policy analyst who has been called one of the “world’s leading authorities on armed conflict” by the International Institute for Strategic Studies. Max Boot is the Jeane J.Kirkpatrick senior fellow in national security studies at The Council on Foreign Relations. He also writes for The Washington Post.

We are now ready to go.

A Monday Op-Ed entitled Ukraine finally has the tools it needs from the West. Boot waxed pathetically about how, while he first criticized Joe Biden and his hollow threats of sanctions against Putin’s invasion of Ukraine (until it was too late), he now not only credits Biden for “shedding some of his inhibitions” of confronting Putin head-on with more than hollow threats; he also believes the most inept president in modern history is “once again turning America into the arsenal of democracy.”

I’ll give you a minute to stop laughing before we continue.

Boot’s op-ed is, like all left-wing op-eds, replete with revisionist history, truth-bending, and incorrect conclusions. Boot’s tweet glorifying the op-ed shows what is to come.

Biden’s inaction to help Ukraine has come under fire, particularly for not helping with the MiG-29 transfer. But I have to give credit where it’s due. Biden has risen to the occasion. Trump would have prevented this from happening.

Wait —two months into the brutal invasion, cities are flattened, untold thousands of Ukrainian men, women, and children have been brutally killed —  many of them allegedly executed and buried in mass graves, and Max Boot “gives credit where it’s due”? Biden is, according to his opinions, the best. Is (just now) rising to the occasion”?

Not to nitpick, Mr. “One of the world’s leading authorities on armed conflict,” but the so-called “Leader of the Free World” should have Already, they have risen to the occasionAs Putin kept making threats, mass troops, and equipment at the Ukrainian border. BeforeHe finally fulfilled that threat.

And correct me if I’m wrong, Mr. “Foreign policy analyst,” but the consensus is Putin would not have invaded — and did not invade — Ukraine on Trump’s watch.

Here’s more, via WaPo:

President Biden’s rhetoric on the Russo-Ukraine War has undergone a telling metamorphosis that reflects the conflict’s shifting fortunes.

Biden gave support to Ukraine, with sanctions and weapons, when the Russian unprovoked invasion started. However, he implicitly admitted that Russia could take over the country. […]His March 1 State of the Union address, he acknowledged the possibility of Russian victories and said that “while…” […] Putin “may make gains on the battlefield, he will pay a continuing high price over the long run.” [And the people of Ukraine? What price did Biden think they should pay?]

By contrast, on Thursday, in announcing another aid package to Ukraine, Biden vowed that Putin “will never succeed in dominating and occupying all of Ukraine.” That still left open the possibility that Putin will succeed in occupying SomeUkraine […] but it was a far more optimistic assessment of Ukraine’s prospects after two months of fighting.

Boot then ran through a list of weapons included in Biden’s latest aid package.

Biden declared Thursday that the United States would provide $800 million in aid for Ukraine, making it his second consecutive announcement. This brings the total amount of military assistance the United States has promised to Ukraine to date since the invasion to $3.4 billion

New package comes with 72 155mm Howitzers (towed guns capable of launching a 90-pound round 25 miles), and 144,000 artillery cartridges. Phoenix Ghost drones are also included. These new Phoenix Ghost drones can be used to track targets and explode when they contact them.

The previous week’s aid package included 300 Switchblade drones, 200 M113 armored personnel carriers, 18 155mm howitzers, and 11 Mi-17 helicopters.

Last but not least, I’ll paraphrase the title at the top. this:

Biden’s administration has been criticized for failing to do enough for Ukraine and for not making it easier for Polish MiG-29 pilots to be transferred. But I have to give credit where it’s due. This is a president who rises to the occasion. He has let go of some inhibitions over provoking Russia and is once more transforming America into an arsenal for democracy.

Joe Biden. Out of all the presidents. “Turning America into the arsenal of democracy.” Where to begin?

First, even if Biden Had “risen to the occasion,” as I suggested, when it might have made a difference, that difference would have had zeroFostering democracy America. Biden is doing his damnedest. suppressDemocracy in America

For example, Biden’s executive-overreach attempts to order nationwide mask mandates were struck down in court. His executive order to set up the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States was even worse. It is to examine, debate and recommend on any issues that were created solely on Democrat appeals to pack the court.

(i) A discussion and commentary on the current debate and comment about the Supreme Court’s role in the Constitution System and the operation of the constitutional process through which the President nominates and, with advice and consent from the Senate, appoints justices to the Supreme Court.

(ii) The historical background of other periods in the Nation’s history when the Supreme Court’s role and the nominations and advice-and-consent process were subject to critical assessment and prompted proposals for reform; and

(iii. An analysis of key arguments in contemporary public discussion for or against Supreme Court Reform, with an evaluation of the legality and merits of specific reform proposals.

I could continue, but suffice it to say Max Boot’s assertion that Joe Biden of all presidents is “turning America into the arsenal of democracy” is laugh-out-loud ridiculous. This is also Max Boot, who in response to Elon Musk’s possible acquisition of Twitter tweeted the following.

The impact that Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter will have on politics and society is something I worry about. Elon Musk appears to believe social media can do anything. To ensure democracy survives, there must be greater content moderation than ever before.

He really did say that.

Between Biden’s “arsenal of democracy” in America, and the insane belief that democracy can only survive with more censorship, not less, Max Boot’s definition of “democracy” is twisted as hell.

You know; it’s the same definition held by the entire Democrat Party.
