Remember those times when Trump ran off at the mouth a bit too much during press conferences?
Well, Joe Biden has done it, only his mistake could land us in a direct conflict with Putin.
Over the weekend, Biden openly admitted that US troops were training Ukraine soldiers in Poland, a statement that could have Putin amping up his aggression.
Oops, He Did It Again
Biden actually hinted that US troops were going to be directly in Ukraine.
While speaking with US troops in Poland this weekend, he stated, “You’re going to see when you’re there, and some of you have been there, you’re gonna see — you’re gonna see women, young people standing in the middle — in front of a damned tank just saying, ‘I’m not leaving, I’m holding my ground.'”
That was bad enough.
On Monday, Biden confirmed that troops, at the very least, will be training Ukraine troops, stating, “I was talking to the troops.
“We were talking about helping train the troops in — that are — the Ukrainian troops that are in Poland.
“That’s what the context [was]. I sat there with those guys for a couple hours.
“That’s what we talked about.”
Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) stated, “It may be that he’s explaining secrets on national television.
“Every time he explains one thing, it gets worse and worse and worse, and we’ve got nuclear weapons pointed at each other.
“It is incredibly dangerous, this kind of presidential weakness.”
Again, the White House was put in clean-up mode.
NATO officials also came to the rescue, with NATO Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Tod D. Wolters stating, “There are liaisons that are there giving advice, and that’s different than I think what you’re referring to with respect to training.”
Nothing said after the fact matters, however, because Putin will latch onto Biden’s comments if he decides to up the aggression level.
Once again, great job, Joe.
