Ric Grenell, a former German Ambassador, said that Joe Biden ignores diplomatic channels that could stave off conflict, and he disapproves of what the president is doing. He called out the national media drowning out sense and only makes it worse.
Predictions of a Russian invasion have not come to pass, but the White House is pushing war hysteria despite being asked by the Ukrainians to stop it.
US Should Consider Diplomacy To Prevent Conflict
Biden is marching everyone to war, said ex-Ambassador Ric Grenell last Friday when he told Newsmax that it was a wrong decision.
He lamented that Biden's lack of insight into foreign policy led the United States to another disaster.Remarked the diplomatic core is not used when talking to Russian officials would be better than how it dealt with.
Grenell, the former Acting Director of the United States National Intelligence, spoke to Stinchfield last Friday, saying to question the POTUS and his decision to commit US forces to conflict on a non-NATO ally is willing to sacrifice American lives for that.
More than ten soldiers lost their lives in Afghanistan, and now he is letting that happen again that easily.
The ex-intelligence officer states why the administration doesn't place pressure on Berlin, the wealthiest bloc member and has the most surplus budget but has not paid its NATO dues, leading to the question of whether the president is incapable of forcing Germany to face down Russia.
It is wise for the US president to do that instead of sending military forces. Grenell further asks why benching diplomats to negotiate a peace pact is not being done.
All the pronouncement of bloody conflict and that it is coming should not be happening when it can be avoided. Grenell added that sanctioning the Nord Stream 2 should snuff the funds that drive this conflict, per Euractiv.
Despite this, the president seems to be unable to find a solution, even if it is already apparent.
US Warns To Sanction
Grenell added that Moscow has a pipeline but not a healthy economy, and the natural gas pipeline is what they need.
But the Biden administration is not sanctioning anything but only empty threats, which is not a show of strength. Vladimir Putin is not fazed by Joe Biden and has outmaneuvered him. Some of the previous measures discussed are for the US to convince allies to cut Russia off the international banking system to force Putin to desist. It is not happening at all.
The administration should consider peaceful diplomacy, not prove Vladimir Putin. It is not used fully compared to other options, so ambassadors are not doing anything about it. Ignoring it could be dangerous to everyone.
Donald Trump Would Have Handled It Better
A comparison was drawn to ex-president Donald Trump, who did not start any new wars in four years.
Reuters noted that Biden, who's done the opposite, whose foreign policy allegedly sent young soldiers home in coffins from Kabul. Trump brought everyone home in one piece most of the time.
Last Friday, Washington persisted in claiming that President Putin wanted a conflict by an invasion of Ukraine, which he repeatedly denies. Grenell stated that the White House is making a mistake not prioritizing diplomacy over expecting an invasion.
