#biden #russia #ukraine
I am an unaffiliated voter and this conflict is the main reason why I voted for Trump. The democrats want to fund wars while the republicans want to stop wars.
Now Biden wants what is worse for the war.
If this were Trump, NBC would be going crazy on him.
So 100,000 North Korean troops in Ukraine is not an escalation, but long-range missile is an escalation ? I want to see whose ego is stronger, Putin or Trump.
Joe Biden and all democrats are war mongers. They don’t want peace in the world and they they’ll make sure ww 3 starts before Trump enters white House. Biden is devil incarnate
Good us British never backed down to Hitler cause the world be a different place we wasn’t scared like some of you took you long enough to join world wars when you only got your independence cause of France and Italy u needed help now the Ukrainians need help to keep their independence stop being so weak !!!! Why should we live a good life while there innocent children dying in Ukraine and the only way to truly stop Putin is to deal with him like we did with Hitler if it was down to the USA Hitler would of won
Purposefully trying to start WWIII before heading out huh?
Biden wants to inflame the war, Trump wants to end it. Could the moral contrast be more stark?
I’m fully AGAINST of Biden’s decision.
What ever happened to USA standing alongside its allies, all i see in the comments are people crying that WW3 has started. if that is the case surely Putins invasion into ukraine, use of North Korean soldiers is to blame. Not Biden allowing Ukraine to use long range missiles. Just scared of what uncle Vlad will do to you i get it. Grow some balls, so pathetic the lot of ya
So now Democrats are gonna get us into a major conflict with Russia. Maybe they’re gonna try to get us into a great big war so they don’t have to give up the White House?
I love how Joey is trying to start ww3 and the entirety of the unhinged left are making jokes about it here.
U big sillies couldn’t even figure out Joey had dementia for 4 straight years while half the country (the “deplorables”) knew better.
And then you thought commieCLamata was a better choice???
They were so upset of Trump accusing him to want war and there it is.
Democ RATS… you guys are RATS… by starting World War.. shame on you.. d
Did you learn anything on Remembrance Day?
He want to start a world war 3 before getting out how pathetic of a creature this democrats are
Ukraine 🇺🇦 👍 ✌.
Thank god adults will be back in charge in January
Who exactly is this “Joe Biden Administration”?
Wow geriatric Joe is really giving off a terrorist vibe! Doesn’t seem to care about the innocent civilians in Russia that he is helping vaporize from the face of the earth..
Anyone who looks at the Ukraine war with all the facts using common sense and a skeptical eye can clearly see there are major issues here. Go back to the beginning when Biden was VP overseeing foreign affairs for ukraine, while his son sat on the board of burisma, a ukranian company. When it came time for him to be useful for the huge salary he was receiving, his daddy stepped in threatened to withhold American tax dollar aid to Ukraine if they didn’t fire the prosecutor investigating burisma for corruption. Then biden takes office and they do everything to get this war started by kamala talking to Zellenskyy about joining the UN right in front of other world leaders when the UN didn’t even want Ukraine as a member and doing everything to provoke this war. While simultaneously getting the American people to back American support for Ukraine with the help of the media. For context, look at the difference between the way they spoke about a military invasion of Ukraine and a terrorist invasion of Israel. They had to make sure Americans saw this war in a very rudimentary good vs. evil view to gain total support for Ukraine as the side representing pure good. They knew this was the only way to get the unanimous support needed to send so much money to Ukraine. As the money started to pore in hundreds of millions, possibly billions went unaccounted for, and yet no one demanded to know where the money was going, or what it was used for as it kept flowing. Even after articles written where a ukranian soldier named Deny spoke about a bloody battle to hold a city, and that he was told by his higher-ups that the city was Fortified “at great expense”, only for him to see the Russian military walk right into that city where there was zero reinforcement, no defenses and in fact was not Fortified at all. Deny called this corruption and an act of betrayal. The only logical reason the US would not investigate where the money went and demand to know how every penny was being spent is because they knew where the missing money was, in their bank accounts. All those who stood on the floor of our congress waving the ukranian flag, I’m sure, have received kickbacks. Please tell me why biden would send boris (uk) to make Zellenskyy tear up the document already signed and agreed upon by both putin and Zellenskyy which would have ended the war, telling Zellenskyy he is NOT to negotiate with Putin? There’s only one reason they’d want to continue this war. They’ve been lying to the American people and the Ukrainian people about the status of this war and ukranians ability to win from the beginning, at a great loss of life. The biden administration loved the fact that all eyes were on Israel, as if Israel was the shiny ball trick. Look over here. They barely spoke about the war in ukranian after Israel was attacked. That worked out well for those who did not want too much attention on what was going on in ukranian. Just put the ukranian flag in your bio, show total unquestioned support of ukranian no matter how much money it takes or where the money is spent, and now go March in the streets for hamas. Perfect! Remember this is the last time biden will hold office. Their entire family has been living off the biden name and the offices he held, so in my opinion, his presidency was his last chance to stack as much cash as possible for his family. Nothing else makes sense why he wouldn’t encourage peace talks. Now, as he’s leaving, he wants to pull the pin and toss in the grenade as he walks out the door. If this isn’t proof of how diabolical the dem party is, idk what is, and I’ll even include the RINOS and neocons into that sentiment. It’s pure evil.
Ukraine has lost the war and comedian zelensky is desperate 😂😂😂
Don’t forget republican president W.Bush started two wars during his 2 administrations.
Joe Biden opened up the border in the middle of a global pandemic, botched the withdrawal from Afghanistan, lifted sanctions on Iran, lifted sanctions on the Russia pipeline, and now is escalating the Ukraine war before he leaves office.
How are these demons walking freely? Nobody wants war and yet they keep pushing it. Biden and nearly everyone else, in the government needs arrested and tried and thrown in a prison for the rest of their days.
No more forever banker wars
Just proof that they don’t want this war to end and want this on Trump’s watch
Does no one see what’s happening? No one is saying this. Trump cannot take office if America is in a Constitutional Crisis thus making the Vice President the new President in the interim.
I can make your dreams come true
Networks getting folks all amped up.
Thats why didn’t vote for them!
There is absolutely nothing nefarious, unethical, or insiduous that I would ever put past Joe Biden, or his deep state administration of Democrats! That’s including the idea of Biden and the Democrats purposely escalating a war to undermine the upcoming Trump administration! What complete and total AHs Joe Biden and the Democrats truly are!
You have my full support President Biden!!! Excellent job!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲
Mr. trump said he could stop the war the day after the election with just a phone call. Looks like his lies are already coming to light.
Big $ in WWIII i guess. Why else would Biden drag us into this horrifying predicament? 😞
Biden being used to start WW3
Trying to start world war three before Trump gets in office. Wonderful.
Hey, somebody, keep crazy Joe’s finger away from the red button huh. Just give him a bowl of mush and tell him to go watch cartoons before he starts something somebody else has to clean up. I’m not kidding, get him out of the war room.
Impeach biden immediately.
Biden (or whoevver is playing him) is going tto complete his plan to start WWIII and then blame Trump in 4 years.
WHERE IS TRUMP ?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 That is it ✍️👍 Good job president Biden. Now it’s a the time for the SUPER, EXCELLENT, EXTRAORDINARY, SMART, NEGOTIATOR, THE BEST EVER NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES STOP the WARS 😂😂. HE Destroyed EIGHT years of the OBAMA’S HARD WORK 😓. Let’s see how he will control the world situation in 4 years 😮
Who are the officials that oked this?????
This is a terrible idea. ONLY REASON is to sabotage the start of Trumps presidency. What do you know? Disgraceful democrats…
And you Americans will sit quietly watching all this and take to the streets to protest.
How is this man still making decisions
NBC is war mongering boomer news.
Classic Biden
Just want to try and fxxk over Trump before he becomes president
As we all know this will escalate the war and make a peace deal more difficult
The devil Biden still has time to wreck the world.
How many submarines are off the US coasts.
US system sucks.
A majority in all houses is a dictatorship lol.
Good thing Mr. Trump is a good soul.
The second coming of Trump.
Wonder if we could just send Biden to Putin
Putin about to install the Fallout texture pack.
So basically we took something Putin said is an act of war, did it, and Biden is basically making us pray to God that Putin has restraint.
What do we think will happen next?
Crazy how NBC still kiss Biden’s azz while he pushes the country towards doomsday. “Sending a message”? He’s starting a world war you clowns.
He is the president of the United States for 4 years which he was elected for so he has every right to make whatever decisions he believes is in the best interest of the United States until the very last minute of his term not a big fan of Biden but I agree with his decision here
The only thing that makes sense is for a war to start before Biden leaves office, allowing Trump to come in and put an end to it. We don’t want the war to start under Trump, and we want Trump to take credit for ending a war that Biden started. So, Russia…. get it started already.
In 2022 There was no scenario where Joe Biden would do anything to risk direct confrontation with russia and risk Global Thermo Nuclear War. On or About Nov 18, 2024 Joe Biden authorized US weapon be used directly on russia inside of nuclear armed russia. So Biden is now willing to risk Global Thermo Nuclear War. Joe Biden today is willing risk Direct nuclear war – toe to toe with the Ruskies. There is nothing about ukraine that would flip that switch. Nothing . Joe Biden will let Ukraine fall before he will risk Global Thermo Nuclear war with Russia. And Yet today we know Joe Biden is willing to risk direct nuclear exchange with russia. There is no other message putin could take from the authorization. What could flip that switch. What could flip the switch where the softest weakest POTUS in modern history would be willing to risk direct nuclear exchange with russia ? Irrefutable proof that trump is working directly with putin. That would do it. There is very few other things that could do it. Because of chelate hour all inertia and momentum is simply to keep consistent with policy to date and fulfill the public statement Bdien made to ensure peaceful transition of power to trump. Except if you just got absolute proof positive putin and trump are one and the same threat to the USA. Who could produce that proof at this late moment. The CIA? The NSA? The FBI? US DoD? OR China’s Xi? At the G20.
Anyone else think don trump will not take office?
‘This will escalate the war. This is so stupid. We cannot afford ww3 or a nuclear war. That would cause billions of people to die. Lord I hope Putin will hold out til Trump takes power.
How could anyone see the left as anything but evil after that. All the propaganda they make about trump then they go and do exactly what they said Trump would do. Deplorable.
All you on the left are dangerous!! 63 days before Trump is in charge!
Looks like someone wants to start a war. Hummmm, wonder why?
The biggest supporters of war is always those not fighting
USA made , USA operated. An attack on Russia is a declaration of war by the zog USA government
I havent seen or heard Biden say they would anywhere.
Only the fake news.
Sounds like bull
This is just so dumb. It’s all about money that these company’s make from making weapons.
Biden wants to end his failed presidency in a big bang
I hope President Trump stops funding Zelenskyy on his first day in office !!!!
Biden met with Trump and Trump asked for many things for Biden not to do anything till he took office. Bidens FAKE SMILE did not hide the fact he hates Trumps’ guts. The favor Trump asked for was to let Trump use the US weapons release to Ukraine as leverage to get Putin to end the war. Biden took that away maybe to keep Trump from putting an end to the war at the start of Trumps’ term making Biden A great fool and proving he was a failure on the world stage.
Destructive and incompetant not old age
this is honestly the last ditch effort to stop Russian aggression, i voted for Trump, but i fear he is going to ask Zelensky to forfeit territory
How is this going to stop aggression?
How will thermo nuclear war be good for the Amazon! NWO is going to take down the entire world. Scorched earth.
Mr. Biden didn’t exactly fix the job during the farewell, In fact, it is like pouring ghee on fire
America resists their marxist agenda in a sweeping election. So what better way to show their disgust of America than to start ww3 on the way out.
They making a mess and then blame Trump for it later. 🙄
Invoke the 25th Amendment to the United States Constitution!
The Chaneys are back..
This just proves why noon e should vote for demonrats they love war and love to use our money for it he’s trying to start ww3 before he leaves office to make things difficult for Trump
This is putting America first. Showing Putin that he isn’t going to do whatever he wants, and not allowing him to take over Ukraine so that Russia has a strategical advantage point against NATO, would definitely be putting America first.
Send what message.
Let’s be extremely really real here.
This decision is not about sending a message to Russia, but more like to sabotage Trump peace deal with Putin to end the war.
Their willing to escalate the war even more as much as possible before leaving the office just to sabotage Trump peace negotiation.
Their willing to escalate and absolutely don’t mind more death just so they can satisfy their hurt feelings to sabotage the Trump peace negotiation deal.
Impeach this Moran before he gets us into WWIII
Doing this to keep Trump from a peaceful transfer
Seriously you don’t want to condemn Biden using American missiles to start a war! Sell outs FakeNews Networks going broke
OMG! 😢
This is what Democrats voted for. And they are worried about Trump? When did the left become so blood thirsty for war? This is insanity!
How do we go about impeaching Biden and getting Trump in there early meanwhile Kamala sneaks off to try and ruin California more than they already have
Only NPCs are democrats in 2024
That’s GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍
The democrats are sooo desperate to stay in power, they tried to criminalize ,assassinaton ,blackmail and cheat on election on Trump and all have all failed, untill know ,once WW3 starts the democrats will remain in power forever a true terraney of power and all Trump want’s to do is give peace and prosparety to US all and wake up folks to what’s happing to US know and these tyrants Must be stopped and Fast
Remember when liberals said Trump was gonna lead us to WWIII? Pepperidge Farm remembers!
Sure since Democrats lost the election. Why not stir the pot and let Republicans handle the mess.
This is an unnecessary escalation at this time . . .
This administration is beyond , just absolutely beyond baffling to me !
This is what happens now, you’ve heard it here first. . . .
This green lights Russia to use tactical nukes.
Putin has been just itching too use them and now. . .
Well you’ll see.
It will be a shame to lose such
There is no winner once that box has been opened
Unprecedented situation. Outgoing lame duck demented leader threatens to trigger Nuclear war. The situation is emergent! Prepone transfer of power to tomorrow!
He’s doing it purposely
He gave them permission to use them when we provided them. Yeah like he has any say.
All democrats are dog 💩
Congrats, Biden voters. You fell for all the nonsense and projection. The Soros she-males and WEF are happy, but they all have fallout shelters. Do you?
Trump sucks for Authorizing This! Absolute trash.
The Biden Missile Crisis
How disgusting, why is this man not out on a terrorist list!
Putin can send his North Korean troops in to ‘clear the way’ !!🤣🤣🤣
Risky. The US becoming fallout wasteland is just one Russian guy’s ‘go ahead’ away
Those is the same example of somebody who cant hamdle losing and goes to the extreme all because theyre petty
Biden is literally a terrorist and America is fine with that. They need to lock him up for what that old bum has done to our country.
