Biden Is No Wartime President

Biden Is No Wartime President

The media is calling Biden a wartime President.  There are two reasons he is not.  That appellation usually applies to a President in office with the country was in a war.  At the moment we are not officially at war with anyone – at least not a shooting war.

It would be more realistic to call Biden “an appeasement President” or maybe “a war losing President.”  

Biden is a continuation of President Obama’s oxymoronic policy of leading from behind.  Biden was a staunch supporter of the policies that prematurely pulled troops out of Iraq – which resulted in the horrific rise of ISIS and the creation of the first califate in centuries.  It resulted in the horrific deaths of tens of thousands of people.  Fortunately, the Trump administration crushed it.

Biden was an advocate of the withdrawal of American forces in Iraq..

Biden was part of the Obama policies that promoted insurrection against Syrian despot Bashar al Asaad and then walked away – triggering the worst human, and most deadly, human migration in modern times (until Ukraine) and turning Syria into a durable anti-American state 

Biden was a key player in the American reaction – or lack thereof — to Russia’s invasion and seizing of the Crimea portion of Ukraine.  He was fully supportive of the Obama policy of letting Putin have the Crimea.  There were not even sanctions.

And next, this so-called wartime President surrendered in Afghanistan in the worst possible way at the worst possible time.  That is now a second nation on the global that is firmly in the hands of American enemies thanks to the Biden approach.

And now Biden is engaging in a variation of the leading-from-behind policy.  He has been engaged for the past year in his own too-little-too-late policy regarding Ukraine.  Although he promised he would “cripple” Russia if the Madman of Moscow invaded.  Biden admitted later that he did not expect the threat of sanctions to stop the invasion.  He was right for once.

Instead of hitting Putin prior to the invasion – as many experts suggested – he waited.  Biden said that once Russian troops entered Ukraine, Putin would be hit with maximum sanctions.  That was also not true.  He has been slowly increasing the sanctions reluctantly.  Biden seems to have been forced by events and public opinion to increase the sanctions on Russia – again too little and too late.

And now Biden is being cornered into cutting off purchases of Russian oil by the members of his own Party in Congress.  Both Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi – and Republicans in Congress – led on that issue.

What most people mean by a “wartime President” is that leader who inspires a nation – the world – behind a WINNING strategy – one that creates a coalition of the good that ultimately defeats the evil.  That is not Biden.  He acquiesces. 

In the case of Afghanistan, Biden undermined the good and gave way to the evil.  Remember … none of our allied nations approved of the Biden surrender – but with America surrendering, they had no choice.

While Biden can boast of decades of experience in domestic and world affairs, he is self-victimized by a lack of a fundamental core understanding of the role of free-world leadership in a dangerously divided world – and a moral commitment to good over evil.  Under his administration, the forces of evil are winning – almost consistently.  

There are times, it seems that Biden is incapable of seeing any enemies of mankind and human freedom other than fossil fuel.  

So, there ‘tis.

    The problem is that we don’t have any “Commander” in chief, but what we have been dealt with is a Senile, Ignorant, Incompetent, and traitorous Communist SCUM that we Americans are supposed to rally around.

    Not ever Commies… Not EVER!

    Americans vs Communists { DemocRATs, Russians, Chinese }

    biden is a no mind pos, out to destroy all americans! his oil shutdown of this country! his crooked is allowing ukrain to get destroyed to cover up hunters crimes in that country!!!

      John, according to the EIA, oil production peaked in 2019 and then began to fall in 2020 due to the pandemic. Like 10% less. Trump’s watch. Less US oil. That was the year that we became a net oil exporter but not because of production or Trumpian policies, but because of lack of demand. In other words, we consumed all of that and imported less. In 2021 we did produce a little bit less than 2020, but not considerably. Also, there are over 900 open leases for oil companies to use.

      Item line is, our oil production began to fall under Trump. Our oil production has not returned to the levels available during Trump even though it is nothing more than producing more,. The wells are there. New wells under 900 different leases are available. As to the federal lands that were precluded via vote Biden policy, not one of them was produced one drop of oil in 2020 or 2021. It’s a red herring. If there was an oil shut down, it was during the reign of Trump.

      Oil companies are having banner years in terms of profits. During Trump, I need money hand over fist via Exxon stocks at incredibly low prices. Today, I cannot touch it with a 10 foot pole its value is so high. They are not hurting. It literally is not in their best interest to produce more oil and in their best interest to apply pressure to Biden to open up even more lease if for no other reason then to just have them. Literally, not producing more US oil is the better investment for them.. As we can see, we have 900 leases today they’ve opened up that are not being used. Some say that’s because there’s no oil there, makes you wonder why they bought the leases, it’s not as if they tried to look for it. There’s nothing to say that if they opened up more leases today they would be used either. Under Trump, we gave them lots of Federal leases, and they produced less oil as a result. Go figure

      Also, hunters crimes in Ukraine consisted of taking a job basically because of who his father was, getting paid a big fat check by those who are supportive of the Russians, and taking the money. Sounds like Trump’s kids to me. Beyond that, which is totally legal, you can’t prove squat.

      Those are the facts. As far as you thinking that Joe Biden is a POS, that is your opinion and you’r right to have one.

    • frank stetson

      And yet you can catch him at neither.

      We stopped you at the election. We stopped you at the Capitol. We’re locking you up like crazy. And now we’re coming for your organizations. Starting with the hate groups. That you cherish. Hell, you can’t even catch Hunter.

      • Harold blankenship

        Biden and his crooked idiot son is your hero? You shouldn’t be coming for us. You might really fuck up and find us. So bring it on, you stupid prick. And who are the hate groups? Is blm and antifa included? You people aren’t going to do shit. You’re just another useless troll posting commie propaganda from your mother’s basement Someone might be coming for you

        • Frank stetson

          Did I say either of the Bidens were my personal heroes? Especially his loser son? I just said you can’t catch him and you can’t.

          And we have already found you and brought it on. That’s why so many of you are finding yourselves in jail. And there will be more tomorrow.

          So post your little post, keep up your little tie rates, pretend you’re all tough, will just be satisfied catching you, inviting you, and locking you up.

          And as far as antifa and BLM are concerned, like I’ve always said but apparently you’re too stupid to notice, anyone who breaks the law should face the law and face the punishment.

          It’s just that your side is getting locked up. And rightfully so

          • The ame way

            Our side are being locked up as political prisoners. But there’s millions of us still running loose. We are standing up against socialist assholes and will never fall in line with the Marxist bastards trying to run the country.

          • Timothy

            And when usTrump cult members re-elect him in 2024 there will be mass pardons.

    President Biden is the worst and most inept president this country has ever had. He makes insane decisions that hurt this country and does not care. He should be impeached before we don’t have a country left

  8. W

    We the people need to hold our legislators responsible by getting involved even just a phone call, every day. Don’t vote until research is done on that candidate. ^We the people” are what ‘they ” are afraid of.. There are more of “WE^ than “THEM”!!
