Biden Turns on Ukraine, Too
Biden Turns on Ukraine, Too | National Review
Biden’s turn against his partners in Ukraine, much like his (predictable) pivot against Israel, is a stab in the back.

This week, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin all but confirmed a blockbuster report in the Financial Times from late March indicating that the Biden administration was prepared to sacrifice Ukraine’s battlefield objectives if they imperiled his own reelection prospects.
In testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Austin scolded Ukraine for executing long-range attacks on Russian oil refineries. “Ukraine is better served in going after tactical and operational targets that can directly influence the current fight,” the Pentagon chief said. But Austin gave away the game when he fretted that Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian infrastructure “could have a knock-on effect in terms of the global energy situation.”
Biden’s turn against his partners in Ukraine, much like his (predictable) pivot against Israel, is a stab in the back. Ukraine’s effort to wage asymmetric warfare against a better-armed, well-funded adversary is a tactical shift necessitated by relatively stagnant battlefield conditions. Insofar as those attacks have the capacity to limit Russia’s capacity to fund and equip its armed forces inside Ukraine and destabilize Russian society, Kyiv’s tactics are perfectly legitimate. Moreover, the Russian assets Biden apparently seeks to protect are assets his administration has sanctioned, and the pain at the pump Biden hopes to avert is pain he implored Americans to expect and endure.
~Snip~
Joe Biden sold Americans on a noble cause. He implored them to support Ukraine’s war of defense against Russia’s war of conquest and subjugation, and they eagerly obliged. Now, in shackling Ukraine to tactics that foreclose on battlefield outcomes America supposedly wants, Biden risks abandoning the American people at the rally point to which he summoned them. Ukrainians surely resent Biden’s pivot, but they can’t be alone.
Commentary:
Joe Biden never supported Ukraine. All he wanted was the proxy war to attrit Russia’s military capabilities. That hasn’t gone as planned. Just like everything Biden plans doesn’t go well.
The plan was never to actually defeat Russia, it was to bleed Russia so long as it doesn't cost Joe at the polls. The leftists know that no Americans are signing up to fight Vicky Nuland's war.
Democrat Neo-Marxists are the most opportunistic of all Americans. Hell they are traitors.
Russians delegates told the UN on Thursday to prepare for unconditional terms of surrender for all Ukraine.
So the Pentagon is now signaling the departure of US “personnel”. The CIA will be in evacuation mode too.
The stench of Democrats repeated betrayals of so called allies. May America learn from their failures and listen to the truth.
The Ukrainian front is breaking, in July the Russian Drone Superiority will be offendively replacing 90% of infantry and vehicle losses of Russia. Get prepared for total slaughter if the Uke’s in late July by drones, Fab3000s, and aircraft.
Remember, It’s not just Ukraine, how do you think the Afghani’s who backed the USA as interpreters feel after Biden abandoned them.
The USA has a long history of supporting countries in a war and then abandoning them in the end and leave them to the mercy of the other side.
We can thank our Democrat leaders and their friends in the State Dept.
