WhatsappWhen the Bin Laden planned 9/11 attack took place, very few people thought that George W. Bush was the reason for the attacks. But when Russia attacked Ukraine, many people placed the blame squarely on President Biden. Is that justified? Let’s take a look at this.
Former President Trump Minces No Words About President Biden
President Trump, predictably, is going around bragging that Russia would have never done what it just did to Ukraine if he was still President. He may be right, even if there is no clear way to prove it. But the fact of the matter is that North Korea stopped wagging it’s nuclear ambitions around under the Trump administration, more moderate Arab countries accepted the fact that Israel is here to stay, and Iran suffered enormously under the sanctions that President Trump placed on them.
The main reason that President Biden is indeed responsible for what is going on in the Ukraine is because Putin saw American weakness in the fumbled Afghanistan pull-out. He, like any other person, is amazed that America could actually be run by someone who’s mental acuity is clearly compromised. Moreover, while America stopped the critical move to energy independence, Russia was then empowered and therefore emboldened to strut it’s feathers. So, Putin, who has always had his eyes on expanding Russia’s influence and pushing NATO further west decided to invade Ukraine.
Russia may indeed win the war against Ukraine – which would not be much of a surprise. But Russia will not be solidifying it’s standing in the world as much as it will be isolating itself from future cooperation with most of the Western world. Russians are also probably not so thrilled that they are being led into a bloody battle in Ukraine. In the end, this completely unnecessary war may actually bring the world to a safer place. Or, it could brig the world closer to the use of nuclear weapons than at any time since the 60’s or the 70’s.
