They therefore are likely to mostly ignore Biden’s recent foolhardy policy decisions on the war in Ukraine and concentrate on preparing for President Trump, whom they expect to put extreme pressure on them to end the war.
Russian officials claim this was an “experimental hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile.” Biden made other provocative post-election changes to his Ukraine policy.
Unfortunately, President Biden has chosen to ignore these crucial traditions concerning the war in Ukraine and instead appears determined to sabotage the policies of his successor.
Still, given the havoc that Biden’s post-election Ukraine policy decisions have caused, Donald Trump cannot return to the Oval Office fast enough.
Ukraine had been asking for permission to fire these weapons at targets deep inside Russia for almost a year, but Biden refused—until after the election—because he worried this would dangerously escalate the war.
Why would Biden do this? The reason is that the president and his staff do not have a serious approach to the Ukraine War.
However, despite President Biden’s foolhardy 11th-hour policy decisions on the Ukraine War, there are reasons to be hopeful.
Under the peaceful transfer of power tradition, President Biden should cooperate with the policy of his successor during his final days in office.
Biden decided last weekend to allow Ukraine to attack targets in Russia with the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACM).
Biden officials also plan to spend all available funds on military aid to Ukraine, totaling an estimated $7 billion by the time Biden leaves office.
Russia’s state-controlled media has said it expects Trump to reverse Biden’s decision allowing Ukraine to fire missiles deep into Russia.
Because President Bush had just lost the 1992 presidential election and would be leaving this crisis to his successor, Bill Clinton, Bush consulted with President-elect Clinton and obtained his agreement before making this major foreign policy decision.
The administration announced on November 19 that the president agreed to send banned antipersonnel land mines to Ukraine for the first time.
They could also embolden Ukraine to keep fighting instead of agreeing to a cease-fire due to the influx of weapons and cash that the Biden administration will be sending over the next 60 days.
