Contradicting his pre-inauguration pledges, President Joe Biden has established a Russia policy centered on appeasement.

The facts are clear. Biden excuses Russian state-colluded ransomware attacks on U.S. critical infrastructure. He enables Russian energy blackmail against Central and Eastern Europe. He responds to Russia’s jeopardizing of near-Earth space operations with inane State Department condemnations. He prevaricates on providing Ukraine with more weaponry in the face of Russia’s massive military buildup.
