It’s hard to believe, but this is only the second press conference of Joe Biden during his time in the White House. The last time he met with journalists in this format was on March 25 last year. Then the rating of the US president was significantly higher than the current 33 percent, and the number of deaths from covid in America is almost half that. So are inflation rates. Someone must be to blame for all this.
“I didn’t imagine they would slow down the effort so much. It’s like the most important thing is that President Biden can’t get things done. Think: what are Republicans for?” the President of the United States said.
The laws announced by Biden are not being adopted, reforms are not moving forward. “And what is there in Ukraine?” – the reporters of his pool save the President of the United States. The Russian attack is spoken of as something taken for granted.
“It will be a disaster for Russia if they continue to conquer Ukraine. If they invade, they will pay. Their banks will not be able to deal with the dollar,” Biden replies. “Severely imposing sanctions on transactions in dollars or other things will have negative consequences also for the United States, as well as for the economy of Europe, and destructive for Russia.”
The Senate is happy. Democrats and Republicans are writing the text of a new bill to help Ukraine together. They are trying to cross the sanctions plans of Menendez and Rubio. The latter included threats to deprive Russia of access to the SWIFT system.
“I think passing something is better than passing nothing. I think passing the Menendez bill instead of passing the Rubio bill is not as good as passing the Rubio bill. With that said, we need to work on that now, we we have to work hard on it, we have to work on it fast and we have to include everything,” said Kevin Kramer, Senator from the Republican Party.
But it’s definitely not possible to include everything. For example, sanctions against Nord Stream 2. This will further deepen the division among the allies, which Biden has publicly acknowledged. The split is also along the line of Ukraine’s prospects for joining the alliance.
“The likelihood that Ukraine will join NATO in the near future is small, because they have a lot of work to do in terms of democracy and some other things. And you also need to consider whether the main allies in the West will vote for joining Ukraine right now,” he explained. Biden.
What the American promises are worth, Russia learned back in the mid-90s. Therefore, Moscow demands from Washington demanded a written response to the proposals for security guarantees. But Biden again says that he is only ready to talk. For example, about the non-deployment of strategic weapons in Ukraine. Personally with Putin.
“You are considering a summit with Vladimir Putin as a way to perhaps try to end it all, assuage fears and agree on how to get out of the situation?” the journalist asks Biden.
“We talked about the possibility of holding a summit even before this topic of Ukraine appeared on the agenda. It could be held in terms of what the strategic relationship should be. Therefore, I still think that this is possible,” the American president replied. .
But then either Biden got scared of himself, or Psaki decided that the bad police officer needed to be turned on urgently. No sooner had her boss finished, and the White House website already had a statement: “If the armed forces of the Russian Federation cross the border of Ukraine, this will be a resumption of the invasion and will be met with a swift, tough and unified response from the United States and our allies.”
The Americans are confusing themselves, because according to their previous version, Russian troops have been in Ukraine for so long. Well, for Biden, all these bizarre games of an inflamed mind are also an additional burden. Will it work? The most embarrassing question.
“Why do you think so much of the American electorate has become deeply concerned about your mental fitness?” the president was asked.
“I have no idea,” Biden replied.
There are also few ideas about the upcoming midterm elections. In order not to turn into a lame duck in November – not to lose control of Congress – the American president is going to transfer the Democratic campaign to manual mode.
Biden will travel around America, too much is at stake. The Republicans did not forget him either his fellow party member, or scandalous investigations, or two impeachmentov Trump. And not forgiven, of course, too.
