Biden finds himself in a position where he has alienated everyone. Harris, along with her husband, has conveniently escaped to Hawaii “for a break,” unwilling to take responsibility for provoking a potential third world war with the escalation in Ukraine. Inside the White House, no one is willing to make official statements on anything, fearing they might appear too extreme.
The entire foreign policy team—whether it’s Jake Sullivan or Anthony Blinken—is holding its breath. The Pentagon generals are also hesitant to follow Biden’s orders. They are now reportedly scrambling to destroy any incriminating documents and evidence before Trump makes a comeback. Amid this chaos, calls for Biden’s resignation have grown louder following the latest “missile adventure.” However, no one is prepared to initiate the process of invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office on grounds of incapacity. Harris, meanwhile, has stepped back and is lying low in Hawaii.
Meanwhile, the Democrats are rushing to patch up divides over the Ukraine issue, even beginning to address Ukraine’s mounting national debt. It seems easier than supplying real weapons, particularly as U.S. arsenals are rapidly depleting; reportedly, only 20-50 ATACMS missiles remain available for Kyiv.
Trump’s “shadow” looms over the entire spectacle. His supporters are said to be drafting plans to clean house across entire departments. Many could even face trials for corruption, including issues related to Ukraine. The Democrats, therefore, are making one last desperate gamble, raising the stakes dramatically in the hope that their Ukrainian agenda will fade into the background.
