White House Incredibly Insists Biden's Russia Sanctions 'Strategy' Has 'Worked'
By Mike Miller | Feb 24, 2022 3:30 PM ET
As those of us who have paid even a modicum amount of attention to White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is well aware, she is loath to ever admit her boss has done anything wrong, said anything wrong, or no doubt thought anything wrong. Moreover, she does so with an air of smugness that is irritating as hell.
As I suggested on Thursday in an article titled Biden’s Meaningless Pledge Prior to Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine Becomes a Cruel Joke, Russia’s full-scale attack against neighboring Ukraine was a foregone conclusion, even as Team Biden continued to beclown itself with the ridiculous assertion that it was not.
Moreover, as I covered in the above piece, Biden himself all but sealed Ukraine’s fate with a carefully-crafted hollow pledge “so detached from geopolitical reality” that it “shook the confidence of allies” and “stunned some in the diplomatic world.”
Our story begins with Psaki predictably and desperately tripping all over her tapdancing self on Wednesday, as reported by my colleague Nick Arama, as she hilariously tried to square the circle following Germany’s announcement this week that it would halt certification of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. As Nick reported in May, Biden waived sanctions on the Russian-owned company in charge of the pipeline. Needless to say, Psaki’s performance was pure Psaki.
