WH Effort to Clean up Stumbling Joe’s Russia Remarks Makes It Even Worse – Opinion

By Pluralist / February 22, 2022

Jen Psaki (White House press secretary) answered many questions during Tuesday’s briefing about Russia’s invading Ukraine.

However, she is more intelligent than her confused boss.

Psaki said they wanted to “avoid a large-scale invasion” of Ukraine by Russia.

They still can’t escape from Biden’s “minor incursion” remark, which signaled to Putin that Biden wasn’t going to respond with the toughest sanctions. Putin has Biden’s number; he knows that, even now, they’re still having difficulty calling it an “invasion.”

Jen? According to reports, thousands of Russian soldiers have crossed the border. That’s an invasion, whatever modifier you guys want to put on it or however you might try to downplay it. It’s here, you should have pulled out the sanctions long ago. But, they’re still holding back, because of this nonsense that it’s not the “full invasion.” They’re still failing to ship lethal aid to Ukraine. For the absurd excuse of denying Ukraine, President Donald Trump was impeached. This is what you would call a complete failure by Biden.

Democrats can be so delusional that they say things like, “The greatest threat facing us is from global warming.” They fail to see real threats like Russia and China. Did you recall how Barack Obama in his 2012 campaign against Mitt Romney downplayed any threat?

Saying that global warming is the worst, and there’s no current cyber threat from Russia, is an indication that she doesn’t even understand what’s going on here. This delusion is dangerous because they haven’t taken other threats seriously. Unfortunately, not only is Biden messing up as regards Putin, but it’s also sending a signal to China of how weak he is — and that’s like to provoke more trouble.

Fox’s Peter Doocy asked Psaki about Biden’s campaign claim that if he were in office, Putin’s days of tyranny and intimidating Eastern Europe would be over. But here they are, with Biden still in office and Putin trying again to intimidate.

Psaki’s response? She wouldn’t call it that. What would you name it, then? When you refuse to negotiate with Russia with force? When you put off — again and again — any real measures that might stop them? There’s no other way to describe it, apart from intimidation or bending over for Russia. Dare we say — even more “flexible” than Obama?

Psaki then became deluded and started to lie. This is her attempt to show that Biden never supported Nord Stream 2 and that sanctions were placed on it in order to prove that.

What? It’s not true. Then, when Sen. Ted Cruz (D-TX) tried to get sanctions put back on the pipeline in January with a bill in Congress, Joe Biden lobbied against it, with Democrats even resorting to the filibuster rule that they had been decrying as “Jim Crow.” Biden didn’t feel pre-emptive sanctions on Nord Stream 2 were the right move, Psaki said, “but look where we are.” Exactly, stuck with Biden, wrong again.

Remember they talked about how the sanctions were going to be “swift and severe” on Putin? But not so fast. Psaki says that the immediate effect may not be there.

Oh. So, I’m sure that’s going to put Putin off. Not.

Psaki was even frank enough to claim that Trump is better because Biden rallied the world’s leaders against Russia.

Um, need we remind her that Putin invasions didn’t happen under Trump because of his strength? Putin is aware that there are weak Democrats at the helm. This makes it seem like this. Putin is aware that he will receive less resistance.

Psaki acknowledged what Biden had said during his remarks — that the sanctions could have an impact on Americans.

After Biden’s inability to produce energy and our increased dependence on Russia for oil, this is a very bad thing. That makes absolutely no sense — unless you want to help Russia and hurt the United States. We will be hurt financially if he fails to resolve his problems with Russia, as I stated last month.

But don’t worry, ol’ Joe has a “plan.” He can’t tell us what it is. He hasn’t done anything to drop prices already; indeed, everything he has done has just made us more dependent on others.

He has a plan — like he had a plan to end coronavirus or bring down prices before this. He has only done what he could to increase production, and not release reserve funds.

Psaki didn’t succeed in cleaning up any of the mess from Biden’s Russia remarks. Psaki made the situation worse and exposed how pathetic they were on this topic.
