Donald Trump worked hard at developing better relations with Russia in order to make the world a safer place. Even Barack Obama wanted a “reset” with Russia, in order to bring down tensions between the former Cold War enemies. Why has Joe Biden apparently rejected the idea of mutual respect and peace? On his blog, PaulCraigRoberts.org, Paul Craig Roberts wonders why no one in the media asked Biden at his press conference why he refuses to “give peace a chance?” Roberts writes (abridged):
Biden on TV January 19 Threatening Russia with Disastrous Consequences and Being Held Accountable if She Invades Ukraine raises the question why Washington wasn’t held accountable when Washington invaded Afghanistan and Iraq and overthrew Ukraine with a color revolution? It is Washington that has invaded Ukraine, not Russia.
How come it is only Russia who is yet to invade anyone who is to be held accountable?
And how is Biden going to hold Russia accountable and deliver disastrous consequences to Russia?
Washington could not defeat a few thousand lightly armed Taliban, or the Viet Cong, or a third world Chinese army 70 years ago in Korea. No one thinks Washington can defeat a Russian army. If the highly disciplined and motivated Wehrmacht that had the advantage of surprise couldn’t do it, no country can do it.
Note that no member of the presstitute media asked Biden why he has chosen NOT to defuse the situation by accommodating Russia’s security need. Why has Washington decided NOT to give peace a chance? This is the question of our time, and it is not asked.
Such pertinent questions do not occur to Americans, because they are indoctrinated to see Russia as the enemy. It is a holdover from the 20th century Cold War. Americans are accustomed to regarding Russia as the enemy.
