Rick Grenell deplored how Secretary of State Antony Blinken is undermining his diplomatic job in trying to find ways to stop the Ukraine Conflict. The ex-Ambassador and acting National Intelligence Director said that the State Secretary should try to convince European countries to intercede and apply pressure, not hold back. He concluded that the Biden official is more interested in ignoring diplomacy and sending jets to rile up Moscow instead.
Grenell Pushes for Diplomacy
The former Trump ambassador spoke to Newsmax TV about how he saw the state department become lazy lately, instead, let the warmongers do the talking, not US ambassadors well suited for the job.
He said that especially now with a shooting war, that will benefit if diplomacy is used. Stressing now that bombs have gone off; the Biden administration should consider it; reported Newsmax.
Now there should be a flurry of meetings and diplomatic thrusts going on all over the Bloc and NATO. Why the reservation for diplomacy which is to deflate is puzzling
Though there is a spate of talks here and there about the Moscow-Kyiv conflict, another one goes on behind the scenes that are crucial as well.
Prudent diplomats should keep their opinions in general, not tell them in public; only keep the general details.
Ric Grenell added that the media should not know everything about issues until everything about it can be settled with satisfaction. Also, good diplomacy will not get everything done but the important goal like stopping the Ukraine conflict.
Competent negotiators on the team will do better for any side, cites Now Trending.
Grenell spoke of what Germany did under Chancellor Angela Merkel for 16 years as she kept a good relationship with Moscow. When Olaf Scholz replaced her, the new Chancellor said no more and paid their due. They stopped buying Russian gas and oil.
He claims that Russian President Vladimir Putin's reputation made a mistake rolling into Ukraine.
Furthermore, few countries will support Russia as pressure for sanction grows. There was energy independence in the Donald Trump administration when the US did not need any outside help. An offshoot is a peace that the administration did with its misguided priorities.
If the Biden administration wants to see less price at the pump, it should stop its anti-fossil fuel policy. Allow companies to find energy, not buy from adversaries with oil and gas; the president was ripped for such an idea.
The US Needs Solid Leadership
Joe Biden once said America is back; soon after Afghanistan fell; earlier, his action undid the stable border under President Trump.
To many, the president is a wisp with no hallmarks of solid leaders and a Democrat. Many think the US leader becomes an object, nothing more; allies and enemies disregard him.
Without the leadership of someone opposite of the 46th president who sunk in the polls. It is undeniable to Ric Grenell that a lack of diplomacy caused the Ukraine conflict, and leadership is the culprit. The American people should first, not last; Joe Biden has not delivered.
