US President Joe Biden has once again made a major faux pas. Speaking to the US wars of Iraq and Afghanistan, Biden said during a Saturday appearance with MSNBC that Washington had erred in sending troops into Ukraine.
Biden intended to criticize Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying that he is "hurting Israel more than he is helping Israel" by neglecting civilian fatalities in the IDF's military campaign in Gaza.
The US president recounted how, early in the fight, he had cautioned Netanyahu not to make the same "mistake" that the US had made on 9/11.
"America erred in judgment. The 81-year-old said, "We should not have gone into Ukraine, but we went after Osama bin Laden until we got him.
Up to October 7, when the IDF started attacking the Palestinian enclave in response to Hamas's incursion into Israel, which resulted in an estimated 1,200 deaths and over 200 hostages, 31,045 people have died and 72,654 injuries, according to the most recent data from the Gaza health ministry.
Saying, "We should not have gone into the whole thing in Iraq and Afghanistan," the president then reversed himself. He continued, saying that the US military operations "caused more problems than they cured."
Speaking sarcastically, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova implied that Moscow did not concur with media reports that Biden had mistakenly confused Ukraine for Iraq and Afghanistan.
"He did not misplace it. He is unable to deny what everyone knows: that the US has shamed itself with the whole Ukrainian enterprise in the most heinous way possible. She posted this on Telegram on Sunday.
Russian troops have been progressively strengthening their frontline positions since rejecting Ukraine's counteroffensive last year. Last month, they took control of numerous communities, including the vital bastion of Adveevka in the People's Republic of Donetsk.
Since long-simmering tensions between Moscow and Kiev escalated to an armed clash in February 2022, Washington has been Ukraine's main supporter, giving over $111 billion in financial and military support. But in recent months, US assistance has significantly decreased as the Biden administration battles to overcome Republican opposition to its attempts to get an additional $60 billion for Ukraine.
