Book States Biden Blames Obama For Russia Invading Ukraine: He ‘F***ed Up’

President Joe Biden blamed former President Barack Obama for Russia invading Ukraine in 2022, according to a new book from Bob Woodward, saying that the former president’s weakness in 2014 led to Russian President Vladimir Putin feeling emboldened to go further.

During a moment of political upheaval in February 2014, Russian soldiers, wearing uniforms with no insignias, seized government buildings throughout Crimea and later seized its airports. Russia illegally annexed Crimea the following month.

In his new book, “War,” journalist Bob Woodward says that Biden blamed Obama for Russia invading Ukraine.

“They f***ed up in 2014,” Biden said to a friend, according to Woodward. “That’s why we are here. We f***ed it up. Barack never took Putin seriously.”

“We did nothing. We gave Putin a license to continue!” Biden reportedly fumed. “Well, I’m revoking his f***ing license!”

Obama infamously decided against sending weapons to Ukraine to help them repel the invading Russian forces. Ukrainian officials today also point the finger at Obama’s weak foreign policy as being the reason that Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.

The book states that the Biden-Harris administration learned in October 2021 of Putin’s plan to invade Ukraine with a large military force.

“It was an astonishing intelligence coup from the crown jewels of US intelligence, including a human source inside the Kremlin,” the book states. “It was as if they had secretly entered the enemy commander’s tent and were hunched over the maps, examining the number and movement of brigades and the entire planned sequence on the multifront invasion.”

Having a human source inside the Kremlin that had access to the type of classified information that was relayed to U.S. officials indicates that the source was likely a senior-level official.

Biden was reportedly enraged by Russia’s plan and confronted Putin about it during a video conference call in December 2021 that lasted nearly an hour.

The call was discussed as “hot,” so hot that it reached a boiling point with Putin threatening “nuclear war.”

Roughly six months after Putin invaded Ukraine, “exquisite” U.S. intelligence reports indicated that an increasingly unnerved Putin was becoming desperate over the loses he had incurred inside Ukraine to the point where officials believed that there was up to a 50% chance he would use tactical nuclear weapons.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
