The Biden Doctrine

in 2.5 years the President has allowed more illegal immigrants in than the combined populations of Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, N. Dakota, S. Dakota, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Montana. No end in sight. Say the magic words, "I am seeking asylum" and you get waved through.

This is madness. "Borders" on treason.

This Ukrainian commentator nailed it. Joe Biden lacks the will to fully support Ukraine. Biden is afraid of political attacks from Donald Trump and of warnings of escalation from Putin. Stop with the half measures. The whole world is watching this country.

Oleg Sukhov: The West lacks political will to ensure Ukraine’s victory

As President Volodymyr Zelensky makes a long-awaited trip to the U.S., the White House is set to announce a new $325 million military aid package. According to reports, it will again be missing the much-desired ATACMS long-range missiles, which Kyiv says may turn the tide of Russia’s ongoing

This is disheartening. It is a frank conversation with internal assessments by Polish authorities. This underscores may point- Joe Biden waited too long. This is headed towards a strategic defeat for the United States.

Ukraine’s biggest problem is manpower. “They need capable fighters more urgent than they need western arms. They are losing their best. NATO training so far is not sufficient enough.”

➡️ The Russian army is getting stronger, not weaker. “They learned from their mistakes. They are much more efficient now, than they have been a year ago.”

➡️ Russian drones improve by the month. “Their new Shaheeds make less noise, making it harder to hear and hence aim at them. Their Lancets have more range. Their FVP drones are getting more and more every month. Drones will possibly decide that war.”

➡️ Ukrainian strategic victory “still possible, but certainly not guaranteed”. Europe must “prepare for a long war”.

So blame Biden for everything Ukraine related? Remind me which party is refusing to fund their defense? If you still think Biden is the problem, you have your head in the sand.

Biden is reading the fake political winds and is afraid to act.
Biden has three sets of authority. First, the standard method, Congress votes on appropriations and the president, using that authority, draws down stocks and then contracts to replenish those stocks. He has about $5 Billion left in that. He refuses to use that.
Second, he has lend lease, which was passed along a party line vote by Republicans. It was objected to be Biden and many democrats, but it did pass. It allows the president to bypass the regular appropriations process and give arms to Ukraine on a lend lease basis. The Ukrainians lease the equipment and then give it back to us in the future. President Biden refuses to exercise this authority.
Third, being commander in chief, he could send weapons to Ukraine, like flying in F16s. But he refuses to.
 
Republicans refuse to help Ukraine

Yes, tell me this wouldn’t have helped. Republicans made the aid of Ukraine a political football and oppose it mostly because Democrats support it. And 6 billion is more than the 5 billion you say Biden could use without consulting Congress.

The president owns failures in foreign policy. This foreign policy disaster is a direct result of his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

PA, there is no use in trying to reason with Gall. In another thread, he said Trump from prison would be a better President than Biden. Its the MAGA extremists in Congress who do everything that Trump tells them to do and are Trump puppets who blocked the funding for Ukraine and tried to shut down our government at his direction. The majority of Republicans support the Ukraine funding. If Trump should become President he will abandon support for Ukraine and allow his hero Putin to take over that country. Trump wants nothing more than to be an autocrat like his hero Putin, if elected he has already said, among many other outrageous things, he would go after his political opponents, including fellow Republicans who have challenged him, and seek to have NBC news taken off the air. Trump trying to overthrow a free and fair election wasn't enough for a large number of people to abandon his cult. Hopefully there are enough people who care about Ukraine and our republic to keep this menace from being the Republican nominee, much less the President again, but if its Trump vs. Biden, Gall is apparently all in for Trump regardless of the consequences for Ukraine.

No, in a pluralistic society, there are competing interests. If I had to choose between a Republican and Joe Biden, I would pick a Republican. Show me someone else. The country can't survive another 4 years of Biden's ineptitude. The world is on fire because of Joe Biden.

Name one good thing that Joe Biden has done. Weakness abroad and socialism at home. Each of the following is a direct result of the Biden Doctrine.
4 trillion+ in new spending
Increased inflation. When was the last time you went to the grocery store?
increased interest rates to the highest level in 20 years.
Allowed 6 Million plus in new immigrants across our southern border.
Appeased each of our enemies abroad.
Allowed the transfer of $6B to Iran in exchange for 5 American prisoners.
The transfer of 6B is directly tied to the war in Israel.
Fomented unrest in the middle east.
Left with his tail between his legs in Afghanistan.
Created and instituted a failed policy in Ukraine, leading to the death of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians.

Ad hominem attacks don't work. Defeat the logic, counselor.

Trump's best argument- "the world is on fire. I would never have let it happen."
 
Long Time Spider Fan said:
I guess the argument can be made that these funds that will be used for humanitarian purposes might take the place of funds that Iran might spend on humanitarian purposes (I don't think Iran is known for spending money on that) and free up some funds for Iran to fund other projects, but here is a quote from the article that you cited:

The State Department spokesperson noted that the waiver “allows for the transfer of funds from one location to another but does not change the fact that they can only be used to fund Iran’s purchases of humanitarian goods.”

“As we have said, no money is going to Iran directly and no taxpayer funds are being used. The funds held in South Korea are Iran’s funds,” they stressed. “These funds will be moved to restricted accounts in Qatar, and the United States will have oversight as to how and when these funds are used.”

You conveniently left out the part that the US will have oversight as to how and when these funds will be used.

There is a direct connection to the 6 billion dollars you referenced being paid for 5 hostages and Hamas abucting 10 AMERICAN hostages in Israel. Think about it.

Your hundreds of negative statements concerning Biden say you are not open. I am not a huge Biden fan and don't feel like I am the one to defend him. As far as 6b, I assume you know the money is still in Qatar, and it was Iran's money we released back to them. WHERE IS THE $6 BILLION NOW? The funds were not dispersed to Iran. Qatar's central bank is overseeing the funds, which are still in Doha. "The facts are these — no U.S. taxpayer dollars were involved,"

He may have spent $4T, he's funding a war and finally we have an infrastructure bill. How much did the orange liar spend with no war and no infrastructure bill?

I'll wait to see how you attack this before I decide if I want to spend the energy to point out other issues.

We are in agreement, the amount was 6B. We also agree that those funds were originally Iranian funds held by South Korean financial institutions. We also agree that these funds were impounded by the South Korea government as a result of sanctions placed on Iran by the Trump administration. We also agree that the Biden Administration lifted those sanctions, leading South Korea to release those funds, thereby transferring them to Dohar, Qatar. We can also agree that the Biden Administration lifted the sanctions to facilitate the release of 5 Americans held hostage by Iran. Finally, we can agree that American dollars are fungible.

I'm not crazy about Biden, but compared to the previous President I think he's great. And to say he has accomplished nothing is just a flat out lie. Here are a few of his accomplishments:
1. Strengthened NATO unlike Trump who was doing Putin's bidding by trying to weaken NATO
2. Got the Bipartisan Infrastructure bill passed, Trump talked about it for 4 years and did nothing
3. Got the CHIPS act passed for the production of semiconductor chips to be made in the US rather than in China or Taiwan. Big deal in my opinion.
4. Got bipartisan gun legislation passed, its not enough but what some Republicans agreed to
5. Unemployment rate is below 4%, historically that's very good
6. Inflation is a world wide problem, US inflation lower now than most
7. Medicare will be able to negotiate drug prices and seniors on Medicare will have a cap
8. Has supported Ukraine, maybe not to the extent that you and I would like, but has influenced other countries to support Ukraine as well. Trump would have handed over Ukraine to his hero Putin.

If you don't think any of the above are good you have a real problem. Or maybe you are a billionaire and liked Trump's signature legislation that lowered taxes for billionaires. You know so that he could brag to his billionaire friends that he saved them a ton of money.
 
The indecision by Biden and in Europe has lit a conflagration. This Ukrainian clearly states that our waffling has encouraged bad actors across the world. Hamas, Iran, China, Russia and North Korea have all been emboldened by Biden's failure in Ukraine.

 
SecDef Austin just said the United States' commitment to Israel is rock solid. No one believes that, because of what Biden has done with Ukraine.
The Iranians believe the Biden Administration is weak.
The Iranians have received $60 Billion because the Biden Administration lifted sanctions on Iran that the Trump Administration placed. Iran now has full access to the US.banking system.
Biden did this in secret, without telling Congress.
They are flush with cash.
Biden wanted to restart the nuclear deal with Iran.
Iran is doing this at the behest of Russia.
Appeasement does not work.

Oh and by the way, Biden says he may not allow the final transfer of $6 billion. That is a drop in the bucket. The world is on fire. Joe Biden is responsible.
 
1. Strengthened NATO unlike Trump who was doing Putin's bidding by trying to weaken NATO
In general, I would place Trump as a little better than Biden concerning NATO. Biden did not even tell our allies in Germany, Britain, or France about our sudden withdrawal from Afghanistan. He left them holding the bag as our troops withdrew in the dark at night. Trump did humiliate Germany by telling them it was stupid to think Russia would not use its near monopoly on natural gas in Europe to control European behavior. He told Angela Merkel in public that Germany was selling out to Russia. Trump also told those same countries that the Russians and Chinese were supporting the Green movements in those countries. Biden has been better than Trump on working with our allies in NATO about Ukraine. Neither Biden, nor Trump, is better than Nikki Haley, Ron Desantis or Mike Pence on Ukraine, foreign policy or domestic policy. Biden offered half-hearted support to Ukraine. Many of his promises to Europe regarding Ukraine remained unfulfilled. He needs to lead, not prevaricate. Biden should have solved the Ukraine issue a year ago.
2. Got the Bipartisan Infrastructure bill passed, Trump talked about it for 4 years and did nothing. This is a scaled down version on the build back better- total cost 1.5 trillion.
3. Got the CHIPS act passed for the production of semiconductor chips to be made in the US rather than in China or Taiwan. Big deal in my opinion.
Cost 1.2T. The threat is China subjugates Taiwan.
4. Got bipartisan gun legislation passed, its not enough but what some Republicans agreed to
5. Unemployment rate is below 4%, historically that's very good.
Biden injected 4.0 trillion into the economy. It's not surprising. The key to managing unemployment is to create private sector programs that generate employment at little or no cost to the people. Anyone can print money, every third world country does. Too much money chasing too few goods leads to inflation.
6. Inflation is a world wide problem, US inflation lower now than most.
Yes but Biden injected 4 Trillion dollars into our economy. The price of basic goods rocketed up. The price of groceries has doubled. The price of eggs tripled in Richmond. Expect gas prices to increase in 2024. Biden has destroyed fossil fuel development in the US. Expect higher interest rates.
7. Medicare will be able to negotiate drug prices and seniors on Medicare will have a cap.
This is another fallacy. This will hurt drug development. Medicare over regulation and controls on medicine actually hurts seniors. Through its Part D program, Medicare primarily approves payment for drugs that are old generics. Seniors are rarely able to get the newer high quality drugs that would otherwise be available. Anyone who has cared for a senior understands this. Medicare also has a system in place that tracks the dosages of medicines prescribed to seniors. For example, they investigate/ prosecute care providers who over prescribe mood altering drugs that control behavior. Our government does this without consideration of the patient's needs. This tracking program is massive and infilrates almost every aspect of care directed to a senior.
8. Has supported Ukraine, maybe not to the extent that you and I would like, but has influenced other countries to support Ukraine as well. Trump would have handed over Ukraine to his hero Putin.
Ad Hominem attacks are ineffective when discussing issues. Save the hyperbolic rhetoric.

Putting 4T in cash into the country, when economic demand is sluggish, is a formula for high inflation and high interest rates.

The Biden Administration subsidized terrorism in the Gaza strip by providing direct payments to Hamas. Are they that stupid?
 
We will have to extend the definition of the Biden Doctrine- surrender the border, retreat and appease abroad, while paying our enemies with funds to let them destroy our allies and hurt us.
 
Joe Biden grows stones. It is a year too late. Will he stop Iran? Will he pressure Iran? He did not demand the return of American hostages or mention Americans killed. He did not talk about re-instituting sanctions against Iran. Overall it was a good speech.
