An April 2 White House press release confirmed that in his telephone call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Joe Biden "Affirmed the United States' unwavering support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russia's ongoing aggression in the Donbas and Crimea." Other high-level administration officials, including Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken have done the same.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned that any deployment of NATO troops to Ukraine would force Russia to take "Additional measures to ensure its own security."
The Biden administration is in grave danger of replicating George W. Bush's disastrous policy of encouraging Georgia's president, Mikheil Saakashvili, to believe that his country was a valued U.S. ally and that the United States and NATO would come to Georgia's rescue if it became embroiled in an armed conflict with Russia.
In a May 2005 speech in Tbilisi, Bush hailed Georgia as "a beacon of liberty" and praised that country's self-styled democrats for creating the template for other "Color revolutions." Therefore, he believed that Georgians deserved special recognition.
The parallels between Washington's excessive encouragement of Ukraine and Bush's blunder with respect to Georgia are eerie and alarming.
There is a danger that the Biden administration concludes that it must honor the implicit commitment to Ukraine's security and actually adopts a military response to an outbreak of fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces.
The Biden administration urgently needs to rethink its Ukraine policy.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
