Biden accuses Putin of genocide, but the target is the German Scholz
Yesterday Biden had to talk about the failure of the peace talks in Ukraine and justify the price shock because it is linked not to bad US economic and energy policies, but to the war in Ukraine. Then the speech turned in an apparently unexpected direction:
" Your family budget, your ability to fill your tank, none of this should depend on a dictator declaring war and committing genocide on the other side of the world ."
President Biden calls the war in Ukraine "genocide."
"Your ability to fill up your tank, none of it, should hinge on whether a dictator declares war and commits genocide a half a world away." pic.twitter.com/lYW7B0xKMB

Nonchalantly, as usual, he called Vladimir Putin a "Genocide" . A very serious accusation, which technically brings rights to military intervention: the genocide of the Albanian Kosovars was the pretext for NATO's intervention against Serbia. After all, the US is preparing for a prolonged war in Ukraine against Russia, a sort of European Viet-Nam. It is no coincidence that yesterday there was a meeting of the Pentagon with the suppliers of US weapons systems to organize industrial production in view of a prolonged war in Eastern Europe . after all, with inflation at eight percent it is better to have something with which to distract the citizens, and in the next loads the Ukrainians will begin to receive the first American heavy weapons, such as artillery.
Vladimir Putin will be little affected by these attacks, which indeed strengthen his internal position. The target is west of the Oder in Berlin to be precise. German Chancellor Scholz and his Social Democrats are increasingly in trouble. As Welt also makes clear, this move isolates and makes it difficult for the Chancellor in his reluctance to send heavy weapons directly from Germany to Ukraine. The case of the Marde r denied to Ukraine weighed on the German government, and the Leopard 1A5 has not yet been sent, despite pressure from Rheinmetall. Scholz evidently does not want to irritate Moscow excessively, and, at this point, he has become a stumbling block for Washington. This, together with the accusations of pro-Russian politics, also explains Zelensky's refusal to meet the German (Social Democratic) president Steinmeier. The German Greens, with Minister Baerbock, are in favor of sending heavy weapons, as are the Liberals. Obviously the CDU is not opposed, so Scholz finds himself in the company of the AfD in this blockade opposition to the sending of heavy weapons. With the accusations of genocide, his position becomes even more complicated. How long can he keep it?
