Republicans Invent Reasons to Blame Biden for Ukraine

Republicans are searching for ways to blame the Ukraine crisis on Joe Biden, lambasting the president for his administration’s plans for evacuating Americans from Ukraine.

It’s crunch time for leaders around the world to thwart a Russian attack on Ukraine. But Republicans in Washington seem to think the entire situation is President Joe Biden’s fault—at least, that’s what they’re trying to convince voters.

Republicans spent much of the week lashing out against Biden, blaming the president for not being tough enough on Russia and ridiculing how the administration is handling evacuations from Ukraine.

The curious part of their criticism is that emergency evacuations from Ukraine aren’t currently needed, both because Russia hasn’t yet attacked and, more importantly, there are still regular commercial flights into and out of Ukraine.

1. Any and all crises faced by Biden will be weaponized by the GOP.

It does not matter if this weakens our national security or even kills huge numbers of Americans like with the Covid crisis.

The GOP will do anything to get and maintain permanent power.

4. Republicans don't want the president to trust his own intel and allies

They prefer the approach of the former guy, who took the word of Putin over his own advisers and who alienated our country's allies to cozy up to Putin and Kim and other dictators. That's the kind of leadership Republicans want for our country.

6. Joni Ernst was in the military for 23 years.

She's not a chicken hawk, she's a war mongering hawk. She's also dumb as a box of rocks, and very unsophisticated, a known liar, and a slavish party follower, so I have no love lost on her. But at least she was in the military.

I think that sawed off fuck, Putin, will back down in the end, and President Biden will get his due respect.

7. She was given a pass since she was in the military and that is how of many ways she became a senator

she has disrespected the Constitution when she was presented evidence to remove a criminal from office, she did not do this, her main position in the senate if to first defend that Constitution...she has failed.....
I firmly believe the world would not be in this position if she had done her job, she has failed...to me a chicken hawk is the same as a war mongering hawk.....
