Chocolate Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

It seemed like only months ago.  President Joseph Robinette Biden was sworn-in during a back-slapping ceremony in January 2021.  Perhaps that’s why it seems like only months ago; it was.

 

America was coming off a glorious ride of prosperity, hope, and the first presidency that began and ended without the White House resident starting a war.

 

Upon Biden’s inauguration, the world was in turmoil with something called the COVID-19 flu.  We heard a lot about COVID during the 2020 Presidential debates, with Biden pointing a wrinkled finger at his opponent, incumbent President Donald John Trump, on which Biden blamed each COVID casualty.

 

Throughout the months leading up to that election, the mainstream media (MSM) effectively buried any and all traces of the riots, looting, arson, and deaths.  Most of this mayhem spurred on a new movement of racial division for America precipitated by a truly sick organization called Black Live Matter (BLM).

 

With all the anarchy, Biden allegedly won the election by the largest number of votes ever.  Reasons for this coup include anger over President Trump, most of which was induced by the MSM for three solid years.

 

In any case, Biden gleefully hit the ground running by signing one Executive Order after another to virtually run America into third world country status.  And he has done so with aplomb.

 

In July 2021, Biden insisted the 20-year war in Afghanistan be ended, post haste.  He ordered an immediate withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan; details about his generals’ wishes and suggestions are still oozing out of the Pentagon, but few seem to agree with Biden’s military genius.

 

Actual goat rodeo imitating U.S. Military

This goat rodeo-like exit is best described as chaotic.  American civilians were left behind, troops were left behind, and $84,000,000,000 worth of military hardware was left behind – all in an effort to optically enhance his falling popularity polls.

 

As such, thirteen Special Forces soldiers were killed, as were many Afghani civilians.  The Taliban immediately seized the abandoned weaponry and capitalized using photo ops with that weaponry before distributing it for use against straggling Americans and other allies.

 

Biden’s take on all this was that he needed to stop the 20-year war.  Period.  Then it was off for ice cream.  A reporter’s question was what flavor: “Chocolate chocolate chip,” our Commander-in-Chief responded with a grin.

 

Meanwhile, a fellow named Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, was busy in his European-Asian stronghold.

 

Elected in 2012, Putin has been occupied with assisting Iran with its nuclear program, selling expensive natural gas and oil to Western Europe, and jockeying for position to retake Ukraine; it exited Russian control in 2014, and has remained a sore point for Putin ever since.

 

Ukraine, for the record, is the second largest country in Europe behind Russia.  It was also an important part of the former Soviet Union before its breakup in the 1980’s.  Ukraine’s location is strategic in that it offers access to the Black Sea, while sharing borders with Poland, Belarus, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Moldova.

 

Among its strategic position, Ukraine geography holds iron ore, coal, manganese, natural gas, oil, salt, sulphur, graphite, titanium, magnesium, kaolin, nickel, and mercury.  Many of these natural resources have military uses and can become more valuable in times of war.

 

Putin is said to feel Ukraine rightfully belongs to Russia, as he may desire to reassemble the Soviet Union to its perceived glory days of yore.  Over the past few months, Putin has been moving troops, tanks, artillery, transports, and fuel to the Ukraine border.

 

In what certainly appeared to resemble an imminent invasion, the Biden Administration has been leaking whispers of threats to Putin.

 

As usual, Biden, who appears weak on a good day, recently mumbled that Putin would pay dearly if he entered Ukraine.

 

Still wearing that stupid COVID mask, Biden slurred his threat repeatedly over the course of weeks, that sanctions would be painful to Russia.  That remains to be seen.  All the while President Putin vowed he would not attack Ukraine.  And the back and forth continued.

 

In an epiphany, President Biden realized he would do well to send Vice President Kommie La Harris to Ukraine in an effort to stop any possible invasion by Russia.

 

Harris, for the record, was in charge of America’s southern border.  She could not stifle the flow of illegal immigrants there.  Her stern “Don’t come here,” warning evidently lacked the strength to deter law breakers, drug smugglers, and child sex traffickers, from trespassing on American soil as felons.

 

Videotaped news stories about her effort seem to show her half-hearted stab at threatening the most powerful man in the world, President Putin.

 

I say this because Putin’s optics includes him riding a horse, shirtless, with bulging muscles.  He carefully examines and fires military firearms and shoulder fired missiles, and he walks and speaks with purpose.  There is little doubt Vladimir Putin is a no-nonsense guy.

 

On the other hand, President Biden verbally mumbles, physically stumbles, falls asleep during meetings, and just appears fearful and feeble by wearing that stupid mask. 

 

Although those points are not necessarily concrete indicators of strength or success, they are barometers of personalities that can, and have in the past, sent the world down the wrong path.

 

Yesterday Putin declared eastern sections of Ukraine under Russian control.  Many Ukrainians have already fled the country, while others are standing tough.  What punitive actions Putin will take remain speculative.  But Putin has copious amounts of oil to sell the world.

 

Just bear in mind that Biden and his administration fumbled our departure from Afghanistan – a war in which we had no real fight or goal.

 

Ukraine is now something Biden desperately wants to stick his nose into.  Another 20-year war?  Let’s hope not.  He’s got enough failures on his plate already.

 

If President Biden is concerned about “winning” an incursion in Ukraine, he won’t.  If he’s worried about President Putin, Putin will thoroughly embarrass Biden and the United States.

 

Bottom Line:

 

America’s most dire genuine problem today is the economy, led primarily by the price of oil.  Biden intentionally cut off our oil through the Keystone XL Pipeline, to appease the climate change crowd and a smattering of anti-American Democrat Congressmen.

 

As a result, America is relying on foreign oil from the Middle East, South America, and Russia.  Yes, Russia.

 

By buying our oil from Russia we are paying Putin to threaten us while bankrupting our economy.

 

It’s time to tell that White House nitwit to open the oil flow again, and tell the environmentalists to move to another environmentally friendly country lest we pay $7/gallon for gas, or more.  

 

That old, dead White guy, Thomas Jefferson, said: “ The government you elect is the government you deserve.”

 

Amen.
