Biden hasn’t been doing his job for years now. And the situation is only getting worse.
Now the White House’s dereliction of duty was just put on display by this congressman.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) stated on Sunday that he hopes the Biden administration would take the possibility of a Russian space nuclear weapon more seriously now that it has been made public.
Turner made the remarks during an NBC News interview with Kristen Welker on Meet The Press when challenged about his choice last week to issue a statement highlighting a new “destabilizing foreign military capability.”
“The threat is very serious,” he explained.
“Everyone who’s looked at it used the same language that I have, that it is a very serious threat. And I’m very glad that the administration is beginning to take action. We met with Jake Sullivan, and he began to lay out a plan that hopefully would begin to address this. I understand that Secretary Blinken here at Munich met with leaders from China and India, according to how the New York Times is reporting. That certainly would be an important big step to try to avert this.”
Welker then claimed that President Joe Biden stated last week that the threat did not involve nuclear weapons.
What Biden actually said was that the threat did not present a nuclear threat “to the people of America or anywhere else in the world” because the purported weapon is designed to be used only in space to destroy satellites.
“I can’t confirm or deny this,” Turner said.
“What I have called for is for the administration to declassify this. And my concern is that this is kind of like the Chinese spy balloon, and the – the administration is kind of hiding perhaps some inaction. But as this becomes more and more public and the administration grapples with what we’re dealing with, I think they are going to be taking it seriously. I think they will be taking action. And that, obviously, is the goal.”
This is the standard operating procedure we’ve been dealing with.
What Americans don’t know, won’t kill them is how Biden has treated us.
But a Russian space weapon might just be something that could kill us, or at least our way of life.
And the inaction may be deliberate rather than accidental.
Why wouldn’t the president be sounding the alarm, condemning Russia, and holding emergency meetings?
Maybe because it’s an election year and he wants to give off the impression that he has everything under control.
In reality, the world is falling apart under his watch
