I don’t know why this is shocking given how Joe Biden colossally f*cks up everything he touches. After weeks of speculation that Vladimir Putin intents to invade Ukraine, it turns out the Russian president wants to reunite all of the republics of the Soviet Union. Through his awesome foreign policy and kickass diplomacy, Joe Biden has managed to usher in a new USSR.
Over the weekend Biden sent Kamala Harris to Europe to stop the imminent ivsion of Ukraine by Russia. She completely sucks at everything so today Vladimir Putin announce he is formally recognizing 2 separatist regions of Ukraine, Donetsk and Luhansk. As such, Putin said he will move troops into these regions to “maintain peace.”
But wait, Putin also said that Ukraine belongs to Russia:
“For some reason Khruschev gave Ukraine separate status. Why did we have to be so generous and then give these Republics the right to leave. Madness!” Putin said.
And there’s more. Putin feels like all former Soviet Union republics should rejoin Russia:
Putin says it’s “madness” former Soviet republics were allowed to leave the USSR. Think of the many independent democratic nations beyond Ukraine that he’s referring to, including NATO allies Estonia Lithuania and Latvia.

Putin blaming “nationalists” for the USSR’s collapse: “Every Soviet republic has its citizenship…given to all….It is not the time…to…give definition of what citizenship is. What happened…was caused by the mistakes…by the leadership of the Communist Party.” pic.twitter.com/j314RN5Adv

Basically, Putin is now saying to the entire world that all former USSR territories historically belong to Russia.

If you had “USSR gets back together” on your Biden F*ck-ups Bingo card, you just scored.
Make no mistake about it, this is Biden’s fault. Putin never tried any of this shit under Donald Trump’s watch. Senator Ted Cruz laid out the blame in a statement:
Vladimir Putin’s announcement today is just the latest step in his obsessive drive to rebuild the Soviet Union, at the expense of the national security of the United States and our allies. He seeks to make the lives of Americans worse, and he will use whatever new territory, resources, and power that he gains to do so—including control over energy he would seize in Ukraine. His announcements today, including the recognition of non-governmental controlled areas of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine and that Russia would be deploying forces into Ukraine, must be met with an immediate response.
We committed as a nation in the Budapest Memorandum to helping ensure their sovereignty and territorial integrity, and it is gravely in our national security interests to do so. The crisis that now threatens to engulf them will also create unknowable and acute dangers for our European NATO allies, whom we are bound by treaty to help defend.
President Biden has refused to meet these commitments, and Biden-Harris officials are to an enormous extent directly responsible for this crisis. He and his administration instead settled for an endlessly deferred and wholly uncredible strategy of responding to Putin’s aggression after an invasion. They have pursued bizarre tactics like declassifying American intelligence and trying to shame Putin. That approach has failed.
BTW, Biden’s response to Putin announcing he intends on rebuilding the Soviet Union is to slap some economic sanctions on the Ukraine regions Russia just stole. Not all of Russia, just the separatist regions. That should stop Putin. Not!
Biden keeps amazing with his ability to f*ck things up. We all knew he was going to be a terrible president, but anyone who claims they saw this coming is lying.
Biden has handed Afghanistan back to the Taliban, reinvigorated ISIS, emboldened Iran, and now is facilitating the return of the USSR. He apparently wants to have all of our historic enemies operating at full capacity.
