President Joe Biden didn’t make a lot of news with his press conference after sitting down with NATO leaders Thursday, and what he did make was confusing at best, and fundamentally discouraging.
That came in answer to a question about what NATO would do if Vladimir Putin uses chemical weapons in Ukraine, as Biden warned before going to Europe seems to be a real possibility.
“It would trigger a response in kind,” the prez said. Huh? Unless someone’s hiding them, no NATO power has chemical weapons. At best, this seems to mean some serious destructive action against Russia’s forces in Ukraine.
But maybe not, since Biden then added that NATO would decide what to do “at the time.”
Meaning: They haven’t worked it out ahead of time, and will wait ’til it happens to start figuring it out.
NATO has 30 members, some of them highly reluctant to confront Putin; if they all have to agree on a response, it’ll take days if not weeks. Some countries may well demand more proof.
This is the very opposite of what we’ve called for — namely, for Biden to publicly identify in advance a specific US (at least) hard-power response to Putin’s use of chems (or other weapons of mass destruction).
Vague threats aren’t enough, and the suggestion that we’ll negotiate the response with 2½ dozen other countries after Putin strikes makes it not a threat at all.
Biden is in too far over his head he is scared of doing the wrong thing and all the $ he and Hunter received from Russia and China it will all come out looms over his head and his party because they know it is true. Impeach immediately have another election Kamala is mentally just as bad we look like fools to our allies and the Democratic party it makes us a mark for our ememies to know our weakness is this bad we look daily bad and it will happen more and more often.
Typical reaction to Biden bluff.
