President Biden’s strategy to assist Ukraine with a slow drip of aid “for as long as it takes” is more like setting up a comedy of errors than a coherent foreign policy. It’s as if the White House thinks they’re starring in a never-ending soap opera, where plot lines are dragged out to keep viewers—or in this case, voters—marginally entertained and perpetually confused.
The Biden administration’s approach is akin to handing someone a squirt gun to tame a forest fire, knowing full well it won’t do the job. By refusing to adopt a decisive strategy, the President is practically laying out the welcome mat for Russia, allowing Putin to keep his foot firmly on Ukraine’s neck. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s struggle becomes a plot device in Biden’s extended theatrics.

More concerning is the risk this dribbling aid poses to NATO. Biden’s lackluster and inconsistent support is like trying to build a fortress with playing cards. It’s not just Kyiv that’s left vulnerable; the entire NATO alliance is being set up for a strategic pratfall. Allies who depend on American leadership are finding it hard to rally behind a president who seems more interested in pulling political rabbits out of his hat than crafting serious foreign policy.
Let’s not forget the hard-earned taxpayer dollars being used in this geopolitical amateur hour. American resources are funneling into a black hole of poorly designed, half-baked interventions with no clear end. It’s not just ineffective; it borders on reckless. The U.S. is pouring money into Ukraine without a clear path to victory or stability, essentially writing blank checks that future generations will have to cash.
Biden’s tenure has been riddled with questionable decisions, and his handling of Ukraine is no exception. By playing foreign policy as if it were an episode of “Survivor,” he’s not only failing Ukraine but also compromising the security and credibility of the United States and its allies. If this is the “strategic patience” the administration is preaching, then it’s time someone handed the President a dictionary—or perhaps a military history book.
