Foreign Enemies Line Up To Take Advantage Of Biden’s Weakness
Tensions are reportedly escalating in Europe – forcing U.S. military stationed overseas to be on high alert against recent moves made by Russian forces.
The increased tension in the region stems from a buildup of Russian forces in eastern Ukraine after four Ukranian soldiers were killed during a battle with Russian-backed forces – a battle which reportedly “escalated tensions in recent days.”
“The soldiers’ deaths, along with a buildup of Russian forces on the border, has seized the attention of senior American officials in Europe and Washington,” The New York Times reported.
“In the past week, the U.S. military’s European Command raised its watch level from possible crisis to potential imminent crisis — the highest level — in response to the deployment of the additional Russian troops.”
The battle, which included machine-gun and artillery fire, has lasted for seven years since breaking out during the Obama administration in 2014. The report said that officials have discovered “new weaponry” on the Russian-backed side and Russian negotiators have warned that peace talks might be breaking down.
The report said that both the Russian and Ukrainian side acknowledged that tensions had rapidly escalated.
While Trump was not able to bring peace to the region as he did in many others successfully, he did manage to limit the highly volatile situation from escalating. In contrast, just last month current President Joe Biden called Russian President Vlaimir Putin “a killer” during an interview with ABC News – a move which angered Putin.
The report noted that Biden emphasized Ukrainian sovereignty during his January phone call with Putin, but has failed to schedule a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The report added:
“This week, Gen. Tod D. Wolters, the head of U.S. European Command, raised the American military’s watch level for the second time in several days after Russian troops failed to leave Ukraine’s border region. American strategists had expected the troops to depart the area, about 30 miles from Ukraine’s border, after the conclusion of a military exercise on March 23. …”
“The latest violence in eastern Ukraine and the troop buildup could well be a way for Moscow to measure the Biden administration’s commitment to Ukraine, according to current and former officials.”
“This could be posturing, but the Kremlin is testing the new administration,” said Frederick B. Hodges, a retired lieutenant general and a former top U.S. Army commander in Europe.
Russia isn’t the only adversary that is testing the Biden administration; in fact, many of America’s enemies have appeared more aggressive in recent weeks, something that critics have said is a result of America’s adversaries knowing that Biden is weak.
Just last week, Taiwan reported the largest-ever incursion of Chinese military aircraft entering Taiwanese airspace. Sources told Reuters that “the Chinese military was conducting exercises that would simulate an operation against U.S. warships that sail through the Bashi Channel.” China again invaded Taiwanese airspace this week and also flew into Japanese airspace.
It was reported this week that the U.S. officials are preparing for China to invade Taiwan, which could drag the United States into a war.
Iran also just signed a new cooperation agreement with China, and Biden is reportedly losing leverage over Iran, “struggling just to get the Iranians to the table” in his attempts to relaunch the Iran nuclear deal, according to Politico.
North Korea has taken it a step further, signaling that they are not even interested in speaking with the Biden administration as officials have detected that North Korea has restarted weapons testing again.
Biden’s failures on the world stage are extremely important, and if tensions continue to escalate as they have, it could lead to the next global conflict.
