Rich Tjaden: Russian invasion of Ukraine is just latest result of administration's ineptitude

To The Daily Sun,

The petulant actions by President Joe Biden, trying to erase the policies of the previous president, Donald Trump, is creating havoc. We have lost our energy independence, we have high inflation, the gasoline prices are now very high, bringing back memories of the 1973 gas crisis. We also have major crime spikes in cities through out the country, due to the progressive district attorneys funded by the socialist, deep pocketed billionaires. Also, the Biden administration is staying silent on the BLM mantra of defunding the police, thus exacerbating the situation. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is just the latest result of the administration's ineptitude. The canceling of the Keystone XL pipeline, bringing Canadian oil down to the Caribbean Sea, was in part the cause of the United States losing its energy independence, thus buying oil from Russia. Canada has banned imports of the Russian oil. Why are we still buying oil from the Russians? There is nothing wrong with having more than one source of power, whether it is wind, solar, hydro, oil, gas, coal, or nuclear. We have access to all right here in America. Joe Biden should put away his childish actions and step up as an adult to take advantage of our natural resources instead of buying foreign oil. The idiotic rhetoric espoused by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her ilk, stipulating we will cease to exist in 10-12 years, is nothing more than fear mongering. The chasm between the Republicans and Democrats is understandably political, yet the growing animus within the Democratic Party is causing enough strife to seed control to the Republicans in the midterm elections. Yes, elections have consequences. Sadly Joe Biden's vindictive actions against the last administration has obliterated his strength. He tried to buy the public by doling out trillions of stimulus payments, decimated the work force by forced mandates, and stunted the academic and mental health of our young by the pernicious lock downs. The cancel culture weaponized by the liberal left, will ultimately remonstrate.

I'm truly sick of the nonsense that these dimwits like you who try to lay everything on Joe Biden who is just cleaning up the mess left to him by an incompetent, unfit and corrupt Donald Trump. I won't bother with most of your garbage, because there are many causes least of all is which you lay blame on, and cancel culture has never been stronger than the Republican party who are in the process of banning books in schools and trying to control women's bodies.

I want to focus on the current Trump created crisis, I get a kick out of Trump and the Republicans who are trying to say this move by Putin was brought on by the weakness of Joe Biden, which is so far from the truth, it's like the false flag Putin has been using to attack the Ukraine.

Let's be clear, it was Donald Trump who by his continued praise and support of Putin, even to side with him publicly against our own intelligence agencies, it was Donald Trump who weakened our NATO alliance by trying to pull out and smear all of our allies, insulting them and denigrating them; sending the clear signal to Vladimir Putin that NATO was weak.

Joe Biden is the one who is responsible for mending the relationships that Trump did his best to destroy in NATO, Joe Biden is the one who repaired and strengthened our NATO alliance and who worked in a way Trump would never do, to build a coalition to defend Ukraine.

No doubt if Trump was still in the Whitehouse, he would be lavishing praise on Putin from the Oval office and offering him aid.
