Ted Cruz blames Biden’s ‘weakness’ why Europe is on ‘verge of war’ [Video]
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- Sen. Ted Cruz slammed President Joe Biden on Sunday, saying his presidency was the “best thing” that had happened for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
- The Republican senator blames Biden’s “fecklessness” why Europe is on the “verge of war.”
- Cruz described Biden’s “surrender and disastrous retreat from Afghanistan” as “the worst military catastrophe” for the U.S.
Republican Sen. Ted Cruz said President Biden’s “fecklessness” is to blame for why Europe is on the “verge of war.”
“Tragically, Europe is on the verge of war because of the weakness, the fecklessness of Joe Biden,” Cruz told Fox News’ Bill Hemmer on “Fox News Sunday.”
Cruz said Biden’s “surrender and disastrous retreat from Afghanistan is the worst military catastrophe for the United States in decades” and set the stage for Russia to invade Ukraine.
“At the time [of the withdrawal from Afghanistan], I said as a result of this incredible weakness, all of our enemies across the globe are looking to Washington. They are taking the measure of the man in the Oval Office. And as a result, as I said back in August, the chances of Russia invading Ukraine have just risen tenfold. The chances of China invading Taiwan have just risen tenfold. We’re seeing the first of those two shoes dropping today because of Biden’s weakness,” he said.
Cruz continued that in 2019, former President Donald Trump signed into law legislation Cruz authored to sanction Russia’s Nord Stream 2, a pipeline that will run from Russia to Germany without crossing through Ukraine.
“The reason he’s building the pipeline is that it skips Ukraine. It goes right around Ukraine. Why? Because the real insurance that Ukraine had against invasion is that Putin has to take his energy as natural gas in pipelines that go through Ukraine. Once he builds Nord Stream 2, he no longer has to worry about those pipelines,” Cruz said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin stopped constructing the pipeline after Trump signed the legislation, but construction picked back up four days after Biden was sworn into office, Cruz said.
“[Putin] knew what was going to happen … which was that Joe Biden formally waived sanctions on Russia, on Putin, and gave the green light to build Nord Stream 2. That is why we have over 100,000 troops and Russian tanks on the border of Ukraine preparing to invade. That’s why we’re on the brink of war in Europe.”

Lying Corrupt Quid Pro KING Joe is more than weak. Corrupt Quid Pro is incompetent. Corrupt Quid Pro is just a stand in for a shadow president. I beg to differ with Cruz, even though I like Cruz. Europe is on the verge of war, because of Corrupt Quid Pro’s weakness. No, Europe is on the verge of war because of Europe. Every time Europe gets involved on a war footing, they always come crying to the U.S. for help. If Trump were president this wouldn’t have happened. More B.S. No one knows that. That statement is an assumption. It wouldn’t have mattered who is president, Corrupt Quid Pro or Trump. I don’t think Putin would be shaking in his boots because of Trump, and he certainly isn’t shaking because of Corrupt Quid Pro.

The worst of the worst, is it’s not just Russia that’s enjoying the fecklessness of Mr. B. Once Russia does their ‘thang’, without a whimper out of Mr. B, I can see China, and North Korea going on the move. Even if that dude in the Oval Office is removed, that gal hanging around Mr. B’s hind parts just ain’t no better!

Traitor Joe Biden & his LGBTQ crew should all go to prison, but only until their duly appointed date of execution.
