On Tuesday, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan issued a warning that the Biden junta considered an invasion of Ukraine by Russia to be imminent and ordered all Americans to leave within the next 24-48 hours.
He also indicated that the United States would be handling the evacuation of American nationals from Ukraine under what can only be called “Kabul Rules.”
The president will not be putting the lives of our men and women in uniform at risk by sending them into a war zone to rescue people who could have left now, but chose not to,
According to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, Joe Biden has told NATO allies that he expects Russia to invade next week. Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs reports that US officials are saying the invasion could come as early as Tuesday and could be kicked off either by a “provocation” in the Donbas region or a direct attack on Kiev.
Britain has also ordered its nationals out of Ukraine. Ukraine has demanded answers from the Russians about their intentions.
I don’t pretend to have a crystal ball about what lies in the future in regards to Ukraine. However, I will note that the entire negotiating strategy of the United States thus far seems to be premised on one of two assumptions. They either know that Putin has no intention of invading Ukraine and they are deliberately escalating tensions so that when Russian troops return to their barracks Joe Biden can claim that he was nose-to-nose with Putin and Putin blinked. The other possibility is that given the fact that Biden is universally loathed in the United States, Biden’s junta has decided that a quick war between Ukraine and Russia with the United States bloodlessly inserting itself to impose sanctions and end the conflict would improve Joey SoftServe’s approval rating. Just recall the number of times Ukrainian officials, including President Zelensky, have begged Biden and his gang to tone down the rhetoric.
When Secretary of Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity Lloyd Austin and his fatboy Mini-me, Mark “White Rage” Miley gave a press conference last month, I wrote at the time that it felt like they were trying to box Putin into a war in Ukraine Why Today’s Austin-Milley Press Conference Convinces Me That Joe Biden Wants Conflict With Russia in Ukraine. Unfortunately, it wasn’t just them, only a week before their presser, Biden seemed to give a green light to a “minor incursion” into Ukraine by Russia.
A few days ago, the Washington Post opined that the various leaks about Russian intentions are part of a “we know what you are up to” strategy to deter Putin, see The Washington Post Throws Shade on a Major CNN ‘Scoop’ About Intercepted Russian Communications and Rightfully So. I’ve never been all that sure how such a strategy works. That said, given the goobers running national security under Biden, that there is no apparent end game is not a reason for assuming that they are not engaging in such a strategy.
In the meantime, trust between the State Department and the press covering them has reached a point where nothing emanating from Foggy Bottom is believed, see State Department Spox Accusing AP Reporter of Using Russian Talking Points Showcases the Biden White House Answer for All Bad Press Coverage. If that is the case, then diplomatic relationships with frontline allies must be at rock bottom.
Bottom line is that none of this had to happen. Instead, this is the product of amateur hour on the part of the State Department and the National Security Council pursuing an agenda that seems to have nothing to do with the facts on the ground and everything to do with domestic politics.
