You don’t have to be a general in the military to know that Russia’s reported 130,000 troops verses NATO’s 40,000 forces would be like Custer’s Last Stand at Little Big Horn. To put that into perspective, it’s like an NFL team taking on a Pee Wee Football team.

What is most disgusting and cowardly is National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan’s recent news conference, at which Americans were told to leave Ukraine. Lest anyone forget, that is exactly what the Americans in Afghanistan were told, and only God knows what happened to those left behind. To add insult to injury, Lester Holt of NBC recently asked President Biden what scenario could prompt him to send troops to rescue Americans fleeing Ukraine, and Mr. Biden replied: “There’s not.”

If by chance Vladimir Putin decides to pull back his troops — which likely won’t happen because doing so would make him look like a fool — Mr. Biden and his minions better not have the audacity to say they stopped a war.



As a Marine Vietnam War veteran, I know Mr. Biden violated his sworn duty when he took his oath of office to protect the American people. He is guilty of dereliction of duty and treason for leaving billions of dollars of military equipment to the Taliban, which by treason law is tantamount to aiding and comforting the enemy.

Mr. Biden will have blood on his hands once again from his ineptness and cowardice.
