Biden helps dictator. Ukraine-not so much

Biden still limits aid to Ukraine and now happy to help a dictator. 

The U.S. Treasury on Saturday granted Chevron a license for a limited expansion of energy operations in Venezuela https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/26/world/americas/venezuela-chevron-oil-us.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare



While the US has provided more military assistance to Ukraine than any other country, Biden continues to dither by worrying more about provoking Putin and ignoring the 10's of thousands of deaths, the rubbling of Ukraine and the consequences of letting Russia invade and stay in Ukraine.

From the beginning of Russia's threats to continue their 2014 invasion of Ukraine Biden has dithered.  He actually stopped providing Javelins to prevent provoking Russia until the weeks before the actual invasion.  He took military option off the table. He encouraged Zelensky to leave Ukraine.  Rather ineffective sanctions were imposed. It was only after the heroically brave fighting and sacrifice of the Ukraine army and people and the discovery of the inept capabilities of the Russian army that Biden began increasing military aid.  But he has done it in a slow incremental way and still continues to limit the capabilities and range of weapons assistance.

Biden needs to LEAD the world to stop Putin.
