Biden’s recent decision to unleash U.S.-supplied long-range missiles on unsuspecting Russian soil has a lot of folks scratching their heads. For the first time, Ukraine has been given the green light to strike deeper into Russia utilizing the Army Tactical Missile System, or ATACMs. With a backdrop of rising tensions and North Korean troops apparently frolicking with their Russian counterparts, the implosion of reasonable foreign policy seems almost imminent. It appears that President Biden hopes to keep a lid on this boiling cauldron of chaos, but in true form, his timing raises eyebrows and questions alike.
It can’t be a coincidence that as Donald Trump prepares to return to the Oval Office with the winds of war on his mind, Biden opts to kick off a new escalation of conflict. The ex-president has openly indicated his plan to navigate a swift end to this quagmire once he retakes the keys to the White House on January 20. Perhaps Biden’s saber-rattling is a desperate attempt to paint himself as a wartime leader, although it seems more like a poorly executed game of geopolitical poker. The stakes are high, but with Biden at the helm, the strategy remains a bit murky.
So Joe Biden decided he wanted to out with a bang. Biden has for the first time authorized the use of U.S.-supplied long-range missiles by Ukraine to strike deep inside Russia which possesses more nukes to blow up the world several times. #worldwar3 @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden… pic.twitter.com/DnBMJ0T5TN

Supporters of Ukraine’s NATO aspirations can argue all day about the necessity of this arms shipment, but the real concern is whether it will turn into a game of “who’s got the bigger missile”. Critics within Biden’s inner circle remain worried that this bold move could morph into a full-blown confrontation with Russia, or worse, draw in the likes of China and Iran. It’s almost as if the administration thinks they’re playing a round of Risk rather than managing serious international relations. The last thing Americans need is a third world war, courtesy of a mismanaged strategy that reads more like a comic strip than a cohesive plan.
In addition to targeting Russian troops, the long-range missile attack is expected to hit North Korean forces who, for some reason, have decided to lend Vladimir Putin a hand in his unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. Forcing a North Korean presence into this conflict might just be the wildest plot twist yet. One can only imagine how President Biden’s lackluster foreign policy will hold up against an actual regime that thrives on chaos.
As the Biden administration carries on with its perilous game of international chess, one thing remains clear: the American people deserve better than this spectacle. With Trump eager to bring his “America First” approach back to the table, Biden’s moves may not only seem reactive but are also leaving many wondering if he truly has a handle on foreign affairs or if he’s just winging it with a haphazard mix of arrows in a dark room. Only time will reveal whether this latest missile authorization will bolster Ukraine’s defense or invite further chaos down the line, but one thing is for certain: the road ahead is anything but certain.
