Standing Up To Russia Image

Joe Biden has failed one of the most important tasks of the U.S. President since 1945: preventing Russia from invading further into Europe. Biden’s policy of weakness and appeasement is radically dangerous – it already lost us Afghanistan to the Taliban, and now it is causing us to lose Ukraine to Vladimir Putin.

Biden's Deterrence Failures

Joe Biden has failed one of the most important tasks of the U.S. President since 1945: preventing Russia from invading further into Europe. Biden’s policy of weakness and appeasement is radically dangerous – it already lost us Afghanistan to the Taliban, and now it is causing us to lose Ukraine to Vladimir Putin.   

  • It’s important for the safety, security, and prosperity that we help Ukraine defend itself against Russia.   
  • Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is already causing energy prices to spike enormously, costing Americans more at the pump and to heat their homes.  
  • An invasion would disrupt global trade and Europe’s economy, causing many Americans to lose their jobs and U.S. companies to lose work.   
  • Russia taking over Ukraine would bring it even closer to attacking our NATO allies who we have a legal treaty obligation to defend – which would cost even more American lives.   
  • We should stand with our democratic friends and against our enemies.
Biden Broken Promise to Ukraine

It’s crucial for the safety, security, and prosperity that we help Ukraine defend itself against Russia.

  • Russia taking over Ukraine would bring it even closer to attacking our NATO allies who we have a legal treaty obligation to defend – which would cost even more American lives.
  • As a candidate in August 2020, Joe Biden promised to actually help Ukraine, writing that: “A Biden-Harris administration will ensure that Ukraine gets the economic and military support that it needs, including lethal weapons…”   
  • Fast forward to March 2021, the Biden Administration held $150M in military assistance to Ukraine, allegedly seeking Ukrainian military reforms.  
  • June 2021: Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan admits that they are holding military assistance to Ukraine “until there is a Russian military incursion”. 
  • December 10, 2021: NBC reports that the Biden Administration was withholding $200 million in further military aid to Ukraine for weeks, despite urgent pleas from the Ukrainian government.
Policies that Punish Putin
  • The New Start treaty gave Russia and China an unfair advantage over our nuclear forces. After just 13 days in office, Joe Biden extended the treaty despite congressional Republicans demanding a fair deal that would keep Russian and Chinese nuclear forces more constrained.
  • In May 2021, President Biden ignored the law passed by Congress and failed to stop Nord Stream 2, which gave Russia an energy backdoor into Europe. In July 2021, President Biden gave a green light to the Russians to continue building the NordStream pipeline, even though he killed permits for the U.S.-Canadian Keystone Pipeline.
Hitting Putin Where It Hurts
  • If the United States and Europe had sanctioned Russia for massing troops on Ukraine’s border, they would have realized the cost of invading Ukraine. Instead, the Biden Administration has acted like a policeman casually watching a murder unfold so he can arrest the perpetrator after the crime has been committed – instead of stopping the crime from happening in the first place. 
  • For the past year, Republicans have been trying to get the Biden Administration to sanction Nord Stream 2. Biden resisted. Republicans tried to get Biden to expedite military assistance to Ukraine. Biden resisted.
  • Sanctioning the Russian oligarchs with billions in net worth who support Putin.
  • Sanctioning Russian natural resource industries (copper, nickel, timber, machine parts, plastics, oil, chemicals), and top companies like Yandex, United Heavy Machinery, Polyus, and Rosatom.

Stopping Putin’s Aggression

After years of talk, Biden has failed to deter Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Instead, behind the scenes he has given concessions to Russia.
