NATO members are asking our "loose lips" to avoid irresponsible comments deliberately delivered by Biden. Again there is a reason for that. Many say he makes Gaffes frequently. I think he is pointing the American people not to look at his own administration with nothing to show for but pain.
In a year down the road, would any investigation show that this administration is one behind encouraging and starting this Ukranian disaster? Just a thought.
They can also, as Biden discovered on Saturday, spark a global uproar in the middle of a war.
With nine ad-libbed words at the end of a 27-minute speech, Biden created an unwanted distraction to his otherwise forceful remarks by calling for Russian President Vladimir Putin to be pushed out of office.
“For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” Biden said.
Could these words apply to Biden? Just a thought.
President Joe Biden called Fox News White House reporter Peter Doocy “a stupid son of a bitch” on a live microphone, after Doocy asked Biden whether inflation was a political liability for him.
The verbal slip took place during a White House event on Biden administration efforts to combat inflation. After the president complained that all the press questions were about the military buildup around Ukraine, Doocy shouted: “Will you take questions about inflation? Do you think inflation is a political liability ahead of the midterms?”
While Biden's wants to stay away of his failure, here comes Doocy.
Users on social media say presidential candidate Joe Biden called service members “stupid bastards” to insult or disrespect his audience. While the quote is authentic, Biden’s remark is missing context:
Biden accused Facebook of “killing people” because of the misinformation spread on the social media network about coronavirus vaccines.
They called the Facebook flub “pure Uncle Joe,” adding, “You can only keep the leash so tight
The question is whether his words are to be taken seriously. Biden says he was speaking his mind and his heart. That may well be true. The problem is that, because he is president, many people around the word listen more carefully than he sometimes speaks,and can’t be entirely sure whether he is merely emoting or actually letting slip his administration’s real policy.
As a result, certain allied leaders have criticized Biden for his remark—most prominently, French President Emmanuel Macron, who warned the American president it would be unwise to “escalate” the war “either in words or actions.”
It’s a bit rich to scold Biden for escalating the war given his painstaking efforts not to trigger a direct conflict with Russia—even while Putin bombs and shells.
Macron does have a a point. If Putin ever feels compelled to seek a negotiated settlement to the war, he may restrain that impulse he may be slower to act on it if he thinks the war is about his own hold on power and that, if he stops fighting, his foes will move rapidly to chop off his head. Just a "Unwise Guy"s" thought.
Blinken went met with the Polish officials. Harris went to meet with the Polish, then the President went and said everything he shouldn't say and the rest of the administration are back pedaling of his remarks.
Not only the remarks, also the talks of support to the Ukranian, creating hero, and Velin, success and failure, democracy and non democracy, pouring gas on the fire that is burning the Ukranians before the Russians.
The outcome here is what the president said yesterday "Food Shortage is Real" real for who? For the poor people around the globe. Just a thought.
The president himself announced Food Shortage is real.
French President Emmanuel Macron called for restraint when speaking about or engaging in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
“We want to stop the war that Russia has launched in Ukraine without escalation — that’s the objective,” Macron said in an interview with France 3 TV. He said the goal is to use diplomatic means to reach a cease-fire and withdrawal of troops.
“If this is what we want to do, we should not escalate things — neither with words nor actions,” Macron said.
Macron’s comments come after Biden gave an impassioned speech in Poland in which he called Putin a “butcher” and said Putin “cannot remain in power.” The White House later attempted to walk back those comments, emphasizing the U.S. does not have a strategy of regime change.
The French president has spoken with Putin on several occasions in diplomatic efforts and said he continues to speak with Putin.
“I wouldn’t use this type of wording because I continue to hold discussions with President Putin,” Macron said. Just a "Leadership Lesson" of thought.
President Joe Biden marked one month since the war began in Ukraine by hitting Russia with more economic sanctions Thursday and backing its expulsion from the Group of 20 world leaders, a move that would further isolate the Kremlin and restrict its role in the global economy.
Biden said at a news conference in Brussels that he supports calls to boot Russia from the G-20, which is made up of leaders from the world's major economies. He noted the final decision rests with the group's membership.
“The single most important thing is for us to stay unified,” Biden said after a trio of summits in which European allies asserted, they would help Ukraine and punish Russia for as long as it takes. But inreality Nato is hurting big time.
And on the other hands Biden's spoke about Food Shortage Worldwide..
Unified on doing what exactly? Just a "Non Unified" thought.
A huge plume of smoke could be seen above an oil facility in the Saudi city of Jeddah on Friday, according to multiple media reports, with Yemen’s Houthi group claiming they had attacked a Saudi Aramco site with missiles.
The Associated Press cited videos of a raging fire at an oil depot, saying the location of the blaze was near the North Jeddah Bulk Plant which is southeast of the city’s international airport. Meanwhile, a Reuters source said a Saudi Aramco facility had been hit.
The Iran-backed Houthis claimed they were behind the strike with a military spokesperson adding that they had also used drones to hit the Ras Tanura and Rabigh refineries, according to Reuters.
2019 attacks
On Sunday morning, Saudi authorities confirmed an attack on Aramco facilities last weekend, with Houthi rebels using missiles and drones to target at least six sites across the kingdom, including an Aramco fuel depot and a liquefied natural gas plant.
The Houthis have carried out thousands of cross-border missile and drone attacks into Saudi Arabia in the years since Riyadh launched its aerial assault on Yemen with the help of the Americans, which has killed tens of thousands. Oil prices will soar.
Just a thought.
The first lady, Jill Biden, complained about her husband’s choice of Kamala Harris as running mate and now vice-president, according to a new book, asking: “There are millions of people in the United States. Why … do we have to choose the one who attacked Joe?”
Harris made her mark in the Democratic primary – and bruised Biden – at a debate in Miami in June 2019, criticising his opposition to bussing, a way of racially integrating public schools, as a young senator in the 1970s.
Promising “juicy excerpts” of the new politics book, Politico said Martin and Burns offer extensive accounts of Harris’s struggles as vice-president. As allies complained about her “impossible” portfolio, including border security, the news website said.
“Kate Bedingfield, Biden’s communications director, not only grew tired of the criticism that the White House was mismanaging Harris – she blamed the VP.”
Martin and Burnswrite: “In private, Bedingfield had taken to noting that the vice-presidency was not the first time in Harris’s political career that she had fallen short of sky-high expectations: her Senate office had been messy, and her presidential campaign had been a fiasco. Perhaps, she suggested, the problem was not the vice-president’s staff.” Just a thought.
The union organizing Starbucks workers extended its winning streak on Friday, adding an eighth store to the list of unionized locations.
Employees at the store in Mesa, Arizona, voted to join Workers United by a count of 11 to 3, according to a vote tally conducted by the National Labor Relations Board. That brings the union’s success tally to five stores in the Buffalo area, two in Mesa and one in Starbucks’ hometown of Seattle.
Other “successful precedents” for neutrality providing a potential “solution” to the current crisis include the 1955 Austrian State Treaty and the earlier neutrality of Belgium, agreed at the London Conference of 1830-1832.
It is true that following the Austrian State Treaty, all allied occupation forces withdrew from the country and Austria enshrined perpetual neutrality in its constitution and a constitutional act of parliament which declared that “in all future times Austria will not join any military alliances and will not permit the establishment of any foreign military bases on her territory.”
Belgium became a “perpetually neutral state” under the terms of London Conference. The five great powers of the time – Britain, France, Prussia, Austria and Russia – undertook to “guarantee to it that perpetual neutrality, as well as the integrity and inviolability of its territory”.
These three countries are offering a potential blueprint for Ukrainian neutrality – Belgium, Finland, and Austria – required to demilitarise and none of them had their very right to existence challenged. Just a thought.
One of the justifications for the Russian war against Ukraine is the need to remove the “dagger to the throat of Russia” by insisting on Kyiv’s neutrality and demilitarisation.
Ukraine would have to give up its right to join either NATO or the EU, completely demilitarise and not allow foreign military bases on its territory.
The notion of the “Finlandisation” of Ukraine has been widely discussed. The legal framework for this consisted of the 1947 Peace Treaty with Finland and the 1948 Finno-Soviet Agreement of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance
Article 8 of the 1947 treaty required Finland to ban any “organisations conducting propaganda hostile to the Soviet Union”. The 1948 agreement, although not requiring demilitarisation, stipulated in Article 4 that Finland must not “conclude or join any coalition directed against” the Soviet Union. The 1947 Peace Treaty with Finland.
Simple solution to those who desire war, killing, intemidation and threatining of other nations. Just a "Neutral" thought.
"With regard to food shortage, yes we did talk about food shortages, and it's gonna be real," Biden said during a press conference at a NATO summit in Brussels, Belgium, following a meeting with other world leaders.
The price of the sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia," he added. "It’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well."
Biden said "Russia and Ukraine have been the breadbasket of Europe in terms of wheat" and insisted that he and other leaders had a "long discussion in the G7" about the need to "increase and disseminate" food production.
And the Democratic party's silence about their president who just spreading hunger around the world. What a Christian Gesture to send to the world on Easter.
Just an "Easter Gift" thought.
In an effort to slow the nation's contribution to climate change, President Biden has signed an executive order to begin halting oil and gas leasing on federal lands and waters.
The much-anticipated move is one of several executive actions the president took.
"These aren't pie-in-the-sky dreams. These are concrete, actionable solutions," Biden said at a signing ceremony for the executive orders.
However since then, Prices of oil and gas trippled and the Administration is begging the Middle east and Russia to produce more
Now, as Europe confronts the possibility of a serious supply squeeze amid Russian hostilities toward Ukraine, the U.S. is trying to help Europe secure emergency gas supplies. But there is only so much the Biden administration can do: Most American gas has been sold to other customers, and Europe has limited facilities to import more.
I'll bet the administration arre regretting their decision.
Just a "Regretful" thought.
Who is winning here? Anyone? it is a diversion for Biden's administration for sometime but not for long.
Ukraine will settle when USA tells Pres. Z to settle, nothing before the destruction of his country.
Just a "Destructive" thought.

The Pentagon rejected a proposal from Poland to provide the Ukrainian Air Force with MiG-29 fighter jets, which Defense Department spokesperson John Kirby described as not “tenable” because of the risk of open conflict between NATO and Russia.
The proposal Poland floated, however, would have involved the US more directly than the plan initially backed by Blinken and Thomas-Greenfield. Poland’s updated plan would have sent the MiG-29s to Ukraine via the US’s Ramstein Air Base in Germany.
Vice President Kamala Harris landed in Poland's capital city, Warsaw. Russia's war on Ukraine has become the top foreign crisis for the Biden White House.
U.S. President Joseph Biden will travel to Poland on Friday to discuss the international response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
To the USA, the problem is Poland which wants to drag NATO-and USA in a World War three as Foreign Policy is being run by Blinken, Harris, and Biden?

Billionaire investor Carl Icahn believes the US is headed for a recession, or maybe worse, as the economy battles with sky-high inflation and the threat from Russia's war against Ukraine.
A recession refers to a period of a significant economic downturn across an economy that lasts for more than a few quarters. This can be seen in a slump in the gross domestic product.
"Inflation is a terrible thing when it gets going. You can't get that genie back in the bottle too easily," he said. "In the last 20 or 30 years ... You had cheap goods coming in from the far east, from China, for sure, and even from Russia."
"And I think those days are over now, and you have this war going on now which adds another problem to your inflationary picture."
Icahn has been predicting trouble for the economy for some time now, saying in February that the Fed's money-printing "party" will end badly because it can't control inflation. He just isn't sure when it could happen.
Why can't Russia and Ukraine settle the issues between both of them?
President of Ukraine said he is not going to beg NATO to join in.
The Ukraine wanted everybody to help them fight Russia regardless, even if it started World War three.
Ukraine wants to continue the war. NATO alliances and the rest of the world are hurting with gas prices, and economic difficulties. NATO alliances have spoken.
But the war continues and so is the ignorance of the politicians. Just a thought.
Even if one concedes the allegations that Russia engaged in election meddling, the response of progressives is wildly excessive. It is preposterous to compare cyber espionage with the bloody Pearl Harbor and 9/11 attacks. Indeed, such a comparison trivializes the tragedy and horror of those episodes.
Moreover, even if Moscow’s interference did take place, it is hardly an act of war. Indeed, it is not materially different from what the United States has done in dozens of countries, including democratic countries, for decades.
Progressives need to adopt a course correction. Those who sincerely believe their shrill rhetoric need to get a grip and not succumb to Russia Derangement Syndrome.
Those who are cynically using the anti‐Russia hysteria as a club with which to beat the Trump administration need to pause and consider how their actions are triggering a second “cold war” with the one power that has the military wherewithal to destroy America. In either case, their current behavior is doing their country a grave disservice. A desire for destruction. Just a "Destructive" thought.
