Biden's Primary Goal

Biden's Primary Goal

 Joe Biden is absolutely committed to punishing Russian President Vladimir Putin for his aggression in Ukraine. You can’t turn on the TV without some clip of the silver haired, senile embodiment of deception and ineptitude insisting he’s willing to do whatever it takes to make the butcher of Moscow pay for his evil actions. Biden actually imposed sanctions but In reality, he didn’t do anything that makes a difference.

Putin’s power comes from oil and gas. It stands to reason that if you’re trying to punish him, hitting him in the wallet is the most effective way to do it. So why would Biden specifically exempt what is the best, most effective, and only significant way to hurt Putin? Honestly, there is no good answer. 

On Thursday, Joe Biden told the world, “As we respond, my administration is using the tools, every tool at our disposal to protect American families and businesses from rising prices at the gas pump. You know we’re taking active steps to bring down the cost, and American oil and gas company should not – should not – exploit this moment to hike their prices to raise profits. Also, in our sanctions package we specifically designed allow energy payments to continue. We are closely monitoring energy supplies for any disruption, we’ve been coordinating with major oil producing and consuming countries toward our common interest to secure global energy supplies. We are actively working with countries around the world to elevate collective release from the strategic petroleum reserves of major energy consuming countries. And the United States release additional barrels of oil as conditions warrant.”

This quote to gives the sheer magnitude of Biden’s fecklessness clarity. He’s a wildly unpopular President, due in large part to his inflationary policies and spending. He’s attempting to look like a powerful, important leader of the free world, but knows polling has him less popular than a sharp stick in the eye.  

Biden has such little faith in the American people, that he’s letting a tyrant continue to sell that which helps keep him in power to avoid the risk of his poll numbers dropping even more.

“To be clear, our sanctions are not designed to cause any disruption to the current flow of energy from Russia to the world,” said Deputy National Security Advisor Daleep Singh Thursday. 

Then what is their point? 

How can Biden say two diametrically opposing things publicly and get away with it?  Because truth matters nothing to him.  As always, he is  playing the game to secure goals that are what they have always been – Biden’s priority is Joe Biden. He’s never cared about anything but himself, his whole career.
