Corruption and Cowardice: Biden sells out the Ukrainian people to protect himself

Do innocent women and children who are dying on the streets and in the cities of Ukraine have no value?

Joe Biden is showing his true colors in reacting to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, encumbered by his fear of Putin, who knows everything about his corruption and is more than likely holding it over his head to prevent him from doing the right thing in every aspect of his alleged presidency.

In the wee hours of the morning Wednesday, the Biden administration reneged on a deal that would have sent older Soviet-era fighter planes, the MiG-29, from Poland to Ukraine so the war-ravaged nation could protect itself more effectively against Russian air power.

The discussion of the arrangement ― which would have replaced the planes in Poland’s air force with new and more effective F-16s ― had been going on for about a week. As of Tuesday, it appeared to be all but a done deal.

Then Biden ― or to be more accurate, his Fascist anti-democracy advisors ― announced at about 2:00 a.m. that the U.S. would not endorse the deal nor send the F-16 replacements. It caught many in his own administration off-guard.

Poland called his bluff and announced they would send the MiGs to Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany for delivery to Ukrainian pilots, apparently not caring if they got the updated fighters for their own air force. U.S. officials in Washington, D.C. indicated that the planes would not be made available to Ukraine.

Someone in the administration and in the Defense Department got cold feet at the last minute. Flying the fighter jets from NATO territory into the war zone “"raises serious concerns for the entire NATO alliance," the Pentagon said early Wednesday.

Later in the day, Pentagon media flack John Kirby conveyed the message that the deal “is not tenable at this time.” Talks continue between the U.S. and Poland, according to Kirby, who added that the U.S. is not opposed to Poland delivering the planes to Ukraine directly.

What is not clear is how transferring the planes directly from NATO member Poland is any different from NATO delivering the planes to Ramstein. Or how the delivery to Ukraine of Javelin anti-tank weapons and Stinger antiaircraft missiles is less provocative to Russia than fighter aircraft.

It is subterfuge and diplomatic smoke and mirrors to claim there is any difference at all.

What becomes apparent from this international crap storm is the uncomfortable, undeniable fact that the U.S. under Joe Biden is weak, indecisive and unwilling to do the right thing. Biden is a coward, shaking in his shoes at the prospect of confronting Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and Russia.

But as America’s Conservative Voice reported earlier this week, it is too late to worry about direct confrontations with Putin. He has already started World War III, it is just a  matter of when it spreads beyond Ukraine’s borders. Wednesday, ACV learned of additional measures taken by Russia against NATO and the U.S. that constitute acts of war.

In the two weeks leading up to the Russian invasion last month, a cyberattack targeted 21 companies involved with the production of liquefied natural gas (LNG), including California-based Chevron and Houston-based Cheniere Energy.

A source within the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency told ACV Wednesday that the goal appeared to be focused on improving its ability “to target critical infrastructure, including underwater cables and industrial control systems” in the United States, as well as in U.S. allied and partner countries.

The U.S. intelligence community (IC) said it believes that Russia’s successful compromise of the LNG infrastructure demonstrates Russia’s “ability to damage infrastructure during a crisis.”

The IC also said Russia is using cyber operations to “attack entities it sees as working to undermine its interests or threaten the stability of the Russian Government.” This week, New York state said it is facing “increased risk” of cyberattacks from Russian retaliators, with NYPD officials warning that New York City is on “ultra-high cyber security alert.”

In the face of Ukraine’s resistance that has effectively stalled Putin’s efforts to conquer the former Soviet satellite, Putin has waged war against nations likely to intervene for Ukraine. That includes the U.S., where several oil companies have experienced cyberattacks two weeks before the invasion.

In mid-February, Russia was suspected of launching cyberattacks that brought down websites belonging to Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, army and popular banks, a move officials, at the time, called the “largest” of its kind in the history of Ukraine. The Kremlin denied Russian involvement.

All of these cyber attacks are acts of war that demand a response from the world’s democracies. The U.S. and a few token allies poured over $4 trillion into the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, only to retreat ignobly from both, having “won” nothing. Both nations are rich in oil and minerals very valuable to developed nations for technology and manufacturing.

Does the fact the free world is not rushing to Ukraine’s side, as it did with two backward Mideastern countries, mean that Ukraine has no value to the West? Do innocent women and children who are dying on the streets and in the cities of Ukraine have no value?

Wednesday, A Ukrainian maternity hospital housing mothers and children was destroyed in the latest Russian airstrike on Mariupol — where local officials are already using mass graves to bury some of the thousands they say have been killed in “pure genocide.”

“People, children are under the wreckage. Atrocity!” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy tweeted, along with footage of the damage.

“How much longer will the world be an accomplice ignoring terror? Close the sky right now! Stop the killings! You have power but you seem to be losing humanity,” he wrote in a clear rebuke to Western allies.

He is right, Biden isn’t just losing humanity, he’s already lost it. He could regain some part of it by providing Zelenskyy. Without those Polish MiGs, that isn’t going to happen.

Biden’s cowardice has not just now been demonstrated by his failure to assist Ukraine with those fighter jets. He has been afraid of Putin since before Biden took office.

Biden’s son Hunter has been the bagman for the family’s corruption, cutting deals all over the world for himself but seemingly being forced to cut the rest of the family in on the action. He said as much in one of the texts recovered from his laptop that was left at a Long Island repair shop nearly two years ago.

It is an absolute certainty Russia and China ― countries involved in many of those corrupt deals ― knew of the corruption. It is a plausible concept that they helped get Biden elected through the corrupt process that Democrats have been denying and President Trump has been exposing for the last 16 months.

The threat of exposing that corruption could make Biden do anything ― or not do anything. Like, perhaps, refusing to do anything that could effectively help Ukraine against Putin’s war machine.

Russia has now upped the ante. Wednesday afternoon, Russia admitted that their military in Ukraine is using thermobaric bombs ― also known as vacuum bombs. Thermobaric bombs burn the oxygen out of the air when the explode. That includes the air inside human bodies, literally ripping the lungs and pulmonary system out of them.

That is why they are against the Geneva Convention. Putin has already ordered their use. That makes him a war criminal ― a label he will wear twice over if he follows through on another Russian threat U.S. intelligence believes is real.

Russia Wednesday accused the U.S. of manufacturing chemical and biological weapons for use against Putin’s invaders. It is part of Russian Psy-Ops to accuse an enemy nations of what they themselves are about to do.

With Putin’s troops slogging through the Ukrainian resistance, far behind whatever schedule they thought they had and getting stalled due to broken-down tanks, trucks and APVs as well as a shortage of gasoline, his only recourse may be to do the unthinkable.

If and when that happens, will Joe Biden do anything in response?

No. He won’t. Because he is more concerned about himself than he is about 44 million people being slaughtered at the hands of Vladimir Putin.

Biden is a traitor. A coward. A criminal. He has no business running the United States of America. He is the real reason that World War III is about to be waged.

And that’s the truth.
