Terrifying: Biden Gives Putin Green Light To Invade Ukraine

BIDEN: He’s never seen sanctions like the ones I promised will be imposed if he moves, number one. Number two, we’re in a situation where Vladimir Putin is about to, uh… We’ve had very frank discussions, Vladimir Putin and I, and, uh, the idea that NATO is not gonna be united I don’t buy. And so I think what you’re going to see is that Russia will be held accountable if it invades, and it depends on what it does. It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion and we end up having to fight about what to do and not do, et cetera. But if they actually do what they’re capable of doing with the forces amassed on the border, it is going to be a disaster for Russia.

BUCK: A minor incursion would be one thing, he said, a lot of people seized that including (chuckling) the actual president, Volodymyr Zelensky, of Ukraine. He posted this tweet:

So no such thing as a minor incursion by Russian military in Ukraine according to the president of Ukraine, and I gotta say there was so much Ukraine talk yesterday it did at some point feel like Joe Biden was — oh, I don’t know — getting paid by the board of Burisma or something. You know, “10% for The Big Guy.” A lot of talk about Ukraine, and here’s where we are. Nobody really thinks that Joe Biden is taken seriously by much of the rest of the world, certainly by any of our adversaries.

Maybe the fancy latte drinkers in Paris and Brussels are Joe Biden fans compared to Trump, sure. But our adversaries? The people that wish Americans and American interests harm? They don’t look at Joe Biden and think, “Oh, wow. This is a guy that we better not cross.” They figure, “Hmm. He’s a patsy and pushover.” You do not want to do too much because then he’ll actually have to make decisions along the way so now is the time to push.

You’ll notice a fascinating recent historical reality. When did Ukraine have that fraudulent…? Depending on who you ask and which news sources you go to, but it is believed by the international community to be fraudulent referendum in Crimea or illegal referendum in Crimea. Was under Obama and Biden was vice president? When did the actual incursion into Ukraine by Russian-backed paramilitaries, when did that start?

Oh, that’s right. It started under Obama when Biden was vice president. And yet we heard for how many years that Trump was a Russian stooge. Trump blew up — or rather the U.S. military while Trump was commander-in-chief blew up, what — almost 200 Russian paramilitaries in the Syrian desert who were threatening our Kurdish allies in the fight against ISIS.

Trump sent Ukraine… Just remember this. He specifically sent to Ukraine munitions including the Javelin anti-tank missiles and sniper rifles for long range contact that Obama administration denied. I debated the Obama NSC director for Ukraine on this and got him to admit it directly years ago that they would not send that stuff because they didn’t want to.

The Obama team didn’t want to antagonize the Russians, and Trump sent that stuff, and now here we are with Biden and the Russians have over a hundred thousand troops massed. It looks like they’re going in, folks. I don’t know. I hope it doesn’t happen. I feel badly for the Ukrainian people. But it’s also not our fight. It’s just not. It is not our fight. We should not send troops.

We should not send soldiers, and anyone who is suggesting otherwise we gotta have a really serious disagreement aired out in public. It’s not our battle. We’ve done too much of that in recent years, recent decades, and it’s time for the American people to be first and foremost concerned with the interests of Americans. Right? I don’t even think the Biden regime is so foolish as to overstep what is necessary here in response to Russian aggression.

Yeah, there will be sanctions. There will be diplomatic stuff, economic reactions. But if Putin’s going in, well, it looks like Biden just gave him a little wink and a nod. (impression) “Hey, look, if you’re gonna go in, don’t go in too much. Just a little bit. It’s gonna cause problems. Don’t make the problems the kind that make me look stupid on TV.” That’s pretty much it, and I’m sure Putin was watching and saying (impression), “Hmm. Could be worse.” So this is where we are, friends.
