Newsmax.com reports that

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday announced Russia would be closing off the Kerch Strait to foreign warships until fall following President Joe Biden’s announcement he would stop two U.S. warships headed to the area in an effort to lessen tensions, the New York Post reported.

Biden said Thursday that “now is the time to de-escalate” after he had announced sanctions on Russia tied to the SolarWinds hack that the United States blames on Russia and on Russia’s continued presence in Crimea, which was seized from Ukraine in 2014.

Biden described the sanctions, which are aimed at the Russian economy and dozens of individuals, as a “measured and proportionate” response to Moscow’s hostile actions against the United States.

The Biden administration had planned to send two destroyers — the USS Roosevelt and the USS Donald Cook — to the Black Sea over Russia’s continued military presence in Ukraine. But Moscow on Tuesday responded the United States should keep out of the area “for their own good.”

The Kerch Strait will be closed from next week until October, the Ukraine foreign ministry said Thursday.

Biden said that during a phone call earlier this week he was “clear with President Putin that we could have gone further” but added that Washington is “not looking to kick off a cycle of escalation and conflict with Russia.”

Biden said that with direct communication between him and Putin they could establish “a more effective relationship” and that the Kremlin leader “agreed” with this.

Biden’s proposed summit with Putin, which he said could take place “this summer in Europe,” would be a chance to “launch a strategic stability dialogue.”

Putin has not yet responded to the invitation but Biden said “our teams are discussing that possibility right now.”

Biden said there were “critical global challenges that require Russia and the United States to work together, including reining in nuclear threats from Iran and North Korea, ending this (coronavirus) pandemic globally, and meeting the existential crisis of climate change.”

Biden said he’d challenged Putin on Russia’s invasion of part of Ukraine and current massing of troops on another part of the border.

“I affirmed U.S. support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and I strongly urged him to refrain from any military action.”

However, Biden was less clear about U.S. policy over the almost complete Nord Stream 2 pipeline which is due to funnel Russian natural gas to Germany, while bypassing the existing export route through Ukraine.

There is a strong push in the United States to cripple the project with sanctions and prevent its completion, out of fear that it will give Moscow a dangerous grip on the energy supplies of U.S. allies in Europe.

However Thursday’s package of sanctions made no mention of Nord Stream 2 and Biden, when asked by a reporter, said it was “a complicated issue.”

“That still is an issue that is in play,” he added, without further explanation.

Uh huh.

I am old enough to remember when our enemies thought twice about challenging the President of the United States.

Oh, wait…that was only 4 months ago…when we actually had a President of the United States of America, instead of a marionette whose strings are being pulled by others behind the scenes.

Don’t you know that our enemies are laughing and rubbing their hands with glee over the fact that #DementiaJoe is sitting in the White House instead of President Donald J. Trump?

Let’s face it, boys and girls, the Biden Crime Family is owned lock, stock, and barrel by Communist China.

Biden is never going to challenge them on the World Stage.

Considering the Hunter Biden Scandal involving the Bidens and Ukraine, I am surprised that Biden backed away from standing up to Putin.

At this point, as his dementia advances, Biden is lucky to be able to string two sentences together, much less conduct any sort of Foreign Policy Negotiations with another World Power who has a string leader like Putin.

Considering who I believe is pulling Biden’s strings, it is no surprise that his failing Foreign Policy is reminiscent of that of the Obama Administration’s.

If you’ll remember the fiasco that was Foreign Policy under Obama, you will remember that the Middle East was on fire and Russia and China ran over us like a tank over a Coke can.

Biden will start talking about “drawing a red line in the sand”, next.

Until He Comes,
