Biden's Feckless Leadership for Ukraine

  • 2014 - Russia Invades parts of Ukraine – Biden/Obama do little
  • 2021 - Russia Threatens to Takeover Ukraine – Biden does little
  • 2022 - Russia Invades the rest of Ukraine – Biden does little
  • 2023 – Ukraine being destroyed – Biden doing little

From the beginning Biden has continued to dither in his efforts to stop Ukraine.  Initially he actually stopped providing Javelin anti-tank weapons started under Trump to avoid “provoking” Putin. He then minimized a “minor” incursion. Next, instead of arming and encouraging Ukraine, he offered a ride out to Zelensky. Zelensky’s response: “I need bullets not a ride.” Then over the past year, he has only stingily increased the numbers and capabilities of weapons provided to Ukraine and STILL refuses to offer jets, long range artillery, significant armor and other weapons systems that would help Ukraine.

Exacerbating the problem, Biden has been unsuccessful in leading the world to stop Putin.  Most of the world is not helping.  Small, ex-Soviet countries are providing more support for Ukraine than the US and most of Europe, especially the large, developed countries, are far behind in their support.

Where is Biden’s leadership?

Despite having to fight with one arm tied behind their back, only the heroically brave fighting of the Ukrainians combined with the inept performance of the Russian armed forces have stopped Russia from being successful yet. However, Russia has more men, more money and more weapons than Ukraine and continues to make incremental advances.

The result is the continued destruction of Ukraine and the deaths of 10’s of thousand of Ukranians.

Putin needs to be stopped.

Biden needs to lead.
