This White House Official Explains How We're Not Serious About Ukraine

This is the Deputy National Security Advisor to the President of the United States. His answer here shows that the United States and Europe are not really invested in stopping Vladimir Putin. Daleep Singh says we will do nothing to stop Russia from exporting its energy products.

Reuters's @steveholland1: "Targeting the Russian energy industry is totally on the table? is that what you are saying, Daleep? WH's Daleep Singh: "What I'm saying that our measures were not designed to disrupt--in any way--the current flow of energy from Russia to the world."

As I have said all week, Putin sized up the west appropriately. We took the advice of a Swedish teen on the spectrum who is convinced the world is going to end and we outsourced our energy national security to Russia.

The United States could be energy independent. We could be providing oil and gas to Europe. But we all gave up and relied on Russia instead.

Additionally, Biden is shifting his rhetoric about sanctions. Last week, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, White House Press Secretary Jenn Psaki, and Vice President Harris all said the Biden Administration’s sanctions were designed to deter Russian aggression in Ukraine. Yesterday, Joe Biden contradicted all of them and said his sanctions were never meant to do that. Which is it?

For weeks, the Biden administration said that the threat of sanctions on Russia were meant to deter a possible attack on Ukraine. On Thursday, President Biden said the sanctions were not meant to prevent an attack.

On top of that, the Biden Administration is scared to give Ukraine arms because Russia might get mad at us. Administration officials actually worry that giving arms to Ukraine could escalate the situation. I’d say it already is.

If we do not stand up for Ukraine and help them, Russia will not stop there. If Kyiv falls, we should turn Ukraine into Russia’s second Afghanistan.

This will be an appalling legacy for Joe Biden. The leader of the free world has turned is back on freedom, much like Barack Obama did to the Iranian protestors. The United States needs to stand up for Ukraine. Our sanctions are not significant or painful enough. Allowing Russian energy exports to proceed is surrendering to Putin.

Shame on the western nations. Shame on us.

One More Thing…

It is important for you to understand there is a disinformation campaign being waged by Vladimir Putin that many American isolations are falling for.

If you hear someone blame NATO and its possible expansion into Ukraine for this war, you are falling for a talking point that is not true. Putin has coveted Ukraine for a long time. NATO expansion had been considered but was not even on the horizon for discussion at this time. It is simply not true to say this has anything to do with NATO.

Putin has actually railed on NATO for years independent of Ukraine. What is going on is Putin wants a Russian sphere of influence and expects Ukraine to be part of it, given Russia’s history.
