A new book that is soon to be released authored by well known veteran journalist Bob Woodward is said to provide details about how the Biden-Harris team pointed the finger at the Obama administration for the start of Russia’s war with Ukraine. There’s nothing quite as satisfying as seeing the left eat their own, is there? Especially when you always hear them talk about how unified they are as a party and a movement. Guess that’s not 100 percent true or accurate, is it?
An excerpt of Woodward’s “War” obtained by Axios and CNN reveals intimate details from those in the room with President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken as they discuss the causes behind Russia’s decision to invade its western neighbor. According to sources who spoke with Woodward about a July 4th meeting between the men, both were fixated on the political peril Biden faced following a disastrous debate against former President Donald Trump. What began as a book documenting the Ukraine War came to encompass Israel’s fight against Hamas and, ultimately, the weight of the presidency on resolving international conflicts.
Writing in near-real-time history, Woodward offers details about Biden’s inner circle that typically wouldn’t be released for decades. However, after covering and documenting 10 administrations, the former Watergate journalist has developed a Rolodex of sources who fed him some of Biden’s most recent frustrations with former President Barack Obama. Among them: He admitted to one advisor that Obama “never took Putin seriously,” citing Russia’s 2014 invasion of Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula that the Russian president has maintained is part of his country’s original homeland. Obama, working under bipartisan support, leveled sanctions against Russia though ultimately never exercised military might in a bid to stop the invasion.
Biden, along with his team, stated there was greater than a fifty percent chance that Putin would fire off nuclear weapons after invading Ukraine. However, in public, the Biden-Harris regime says that this conflict has now “weakened” Russia. Director of Intelligence, Avril Haines, told the White House’s National Security Council during the spring of 2024 that estimates reveal Putin might have suffered losses in the 200,000 and burned through $200 billion on this conflict with Ukraine.
Complicating matters was the curious bonhomie between Putin and former President Donald Trump. Both strongman leaders praised one another in public remarks, and the Biden-Harris administration claimed without proof that they had spoken as many as seven times since Trump left office. Steven Cheung, a Trump spokesman, denied that the Republican gave Woodward any special access to his post-office life. “None of these made up stories by Bob Woodward are true,” he told CNN in a statement.
In his own memoir, President Obama looked back on his tumultuous relationship with Putin, comparing him to a sharp-elbowed political “ward boss” in his native Chicago. On the international stage, the Democrat wrote in 2020, Putin was “like a ward [district] boss, except with nukes and a UN Security Council veto,” the BBC reported. “Putin did, in fact, remind me of the sorts of men who had once run the Chicago machine or Tammany Hall [a New York City political organization] – tough, street-smart, unsentimental characters who knew what they knew, who never moved outside their narrow experiences, and who viewed patronage, bribery, shakedowns, fraud, and occasional violence as legitimate tools of the trade.”
The next time a leftist tells you that they are all so deeply unified, you can smile to yourself knowing this person is completely and totally ignorant of reality. Then you can burst their bubble and revel in all the liberal tears that freely flow afterwards.
