Biden is inept, diplomacy in Ukraine was possible

This war in Ukraine, or the United States’ involvement in it, “could’ve all been avoided” had President Joe Biden gone the diplomatic route, Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., told Newsmax Saturday.

The rhetoric about the use of nuclear weapons “could’ve all been avoided, if we would have just minded our own business and gone the diplomatic route,” Burchett told “Saturday Report.”

“But we didn’t. We chose not to. And we gave Russia the upper hand.”

Harkening back to when Russia was mobilizing forces stretching along the Ukraine border for what they claimed at the time were “military exercises,” Biden suggested during a Jan. 19 press conference that Russia would face minor consequences for a “minor incursion.”
