Joe Biden is confronting Vladimir Putin, face to face. He bravely plans on doing this without wearing a mask. We can be certain that Putin is terrified. Terrified that he will somehow fail to vanquish the weakest opponent he has ever encountered on a public stage. Putin knows this is the ultimate mismatch and anything other than eating Biden’s lunch will be considered a huge loss.
On the other hand, Biden has almost nothing to lose, because few honest reporters expect any positive results. Putin will agree only to things Putin wants and is unlikely to give any consideration to something suggested by Biden. This has already gone south, with Putin arguing that it was the U.S. Capitol police that assassinated someone during a peaceful political protest. He is, of course, referring to the shooting of Ashli Babbitt, who was an unarmed Trump supporter. You know the same Ashli Babbitt that Biden says was part of the greatest attack on American Democracy since the Civil War. The same January 6, 2021, armed insurrection where the only people carrying firearms were the Capitol Police. That same armed insurrection where people have been tracked down and arrested because they were outed on social media for, gasp, daring to enter the Capitol grounds to protest the 2020 election. Or more accurately, to protest the failure of ANYONE to investigation the mountainous evidence of fraud during that election. That insurrection.
Putin’s allegation is absurd, but so is Biden’s allegation that this was an armed insurrection. He called Biden’s bluff, on the international stage. The inevitable result is that the MSM will rush to prove Putin wrong and inadvertently prove that it is Biden who is spreading nonsense. Nice start.
Biden is already calling this a summit, which makes it more important, also giving Putin a strategic win. The truth Russia doesn’t even make the top ten in terms of economic production, coming in behind Canada. The U.S. and the Soviet Union were once considered the world’s two superpowers. Now the U.S. stands alone with Russia not even showing up in the rear view mirror. So, the mere fact that Biden is meeting with Putin, and calling it an important summit, is a win for Putin. Particularly when Biden says he is unconcerned about the military threat from Russia, he is focused almost entirely on combating climate change.
Biden is also terrified over domestic terrorism which he describes as racism and white supremacy. How many of you have seen white supremacist violence reported on TV? Charlottesville is the closest thing to that, and that involved the decision to remove a statute of Robert E. Lee. There were protestors on both sides and the local police deliberately let them mingle. The inevitable result was violence with considerable dispute over who hit who first. Now I am hardly a fan of white supremacists, but neither is anyone I know. I am sure they exist and there are probably more of them then we realize, but we don’t really hear much about them. That is because every time they raise their head above the bushes everyone dumps on them. America is very united on one subject, no one other than real white supremacists supports these people.
Most of the violence is coming from groups like Antifa and BLM, literally cheered on by supporting leftists and inspired by deliberate media distortion of events like the death of George Floyd. But that doesn’t matter to Joe, he is terrified by white supremacy. Now he is meeting face to face with someone who understand domestic terrorism. This is not likely to end well.
When the Boston bombers attacked the Boston Marathon, some of our U.S. officials allegedly reached out to Russia for help. That is because the bombers were from Chechnya, which is part of the Republic of Georgia. The alleged response was “now you understand what we have been dealing with.” The Russian government tried to warn us that Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a violent radical Islamicist more than 18 months before the April 2013 bombing, but the Obama administration, like the Biden administration, was far more terrified of white supremacist, all six of them.
When Biden tries to confront Putin, regarding one Russian dissident currently in jail, Putin will probably laugh and tell Joe to look in his own mirrored sunglasses, because in his opinion, not totally without merit, the U.S. literal shot and killed someone solely for participating in a political protest. This does not mean that Putin is not one mean nasty dude with a reputation for killing opponents, it just means that people wearing mirrored sunglasses shouldn’t throw stones.
Unfortunately, the sad truth is that the frail, racist, senile, incompetent, shell of a human being posing, unsuccessfully, as the President of the United States is about to be confronted by Vladimir Putin who is all too capable. This is not only unlikely to end well, but we will also be lucky if it is anything short of a complete fiasco. We are about to see Bear Putin on full display and it should frighten anyone paying attention.
