Following the toxic train fire that is polluting the environment, Biden thought that spending Presidents Day in Ukraine was a better idea than going to East Palestine, Ohio. Clearly, the Biden administration wanted to capture Biden and Ukrainian actor Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a favorable light.
And they certainly gave it their all… because on Monday, Joe Biden really made the surprise to stop in Kiev, Ukraine, to visit Zelenskyy before heading for Warsaw, Poland, as planned.
Once a video of Biden wearing his trademark aviator sunglasses against the glare and Zelenskyy strolling around Kviv while AIR RAID sirens were audibly surfaced, the media lost its mind!
Both men were praised as heroes who were standing up for democracy.
The fact that it was all a show was the only issue.
Now, according to a White House statement, as the one-year anniversary of the Russian invasion approaches, Biden traveled to the war-torn country “to meet with President Zelenskyy and reaffirm our unwavering and unflagging commitment to Ukraine’s democracy, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.”
With a journalist posted the video from the scene, with the caption, “This is the kind of American leadership that saved Europe in two wars,” as the media and many Americans were extremely impressed by the president’s nonchalance in the face of danger. Well, what heroes these men are (sarcasm)!
But hilariously, a CNN anchor ousted the staged performance. Journalist Alex Marquardt, throughout his five days in Kviv before Biden’s presence, said he had not once heard sirens:
“I’ve been here for the past five days. I have not heard any explosions. I have not heard any air sirens, until about half an hour ago, right when President Biden was in the center of Kyiv.”
In a warzone, with the real soundtrack of an air-raid siren.
This is the kind of American leadership that saved Europe in two wars.

And so with other Twitter users who pointed out the obvious.

Propaganda Stinks~
The Secret Service nor anyone in the Administration to include U.S. Military wouldn’t allow Joe Biden to visit if there was an actual danger to life or a real air raid alert
If the air raid was real ..
They would’ve rushed Joe Biden immediately into a shelter— Lawyerforlaws (@lawyer4laws) February 20, 2023
The refusal of Biden to reaffirm his “unwavering and unflagging commitment” to America’s “democracy, sovereignty, and territorial integrity” is perhaps what bothers people the most about his photo op and the kind words he read to Zelenskyy during his visit.
If Biden hadn’t forgotten about our own territorial integrity along the way, his concern for Ukraine would be reasonable. But as we all know how Biden’s ratings back down. His approval ratings were some of the worst for a second-year president. The potential effect on public opinion might have been blunted by the fact that most Americans disapprove of the job Biden is doing, with his approval rating hovering around 42 percent. And one persistent drag on Biden’s ratings has been the economy, with his worst numbers coming amid high inflation and gas prices.
And now with the current issues as the Western Journal reported:
- He allows illegal immigrants and dangerous drugs that are killing Americans to flow freely into our country.
- He allows our most dangerous foe to float a surveillance balloon over our most strategic military installations and missile silos for a week before shooting it down.
- His administration turned down a request for federal assistance from the Ohio governor after a train derailment and subsequent fire left the area’s water supply and even the air they breathe unsafe for humans. And all the while, he presides over a two-tier system of justice.
Well, it’s clear as water how Biden is desperate to get his image back on track…
Here are some comments from folks online:
“It was very fitting that Brandon spent Presidents Day in Ukraine because he’s been more of a president to them than he has to the US.”
“I have never felt so deeply betrayed as I do by our government.”
“You know the air raid is fake when the 2 top partners in crime satay out of the building and pose for pictures. X marks the spot.”
“My favorite part was the fake air raid siren they played when Biden casually walked down the street in Ukraine.”
“By faking air raid sirens and traveling to Ukraine for a photo op?”
“All staged! It was reported the air sirens were heard as soon as Biden and Zelensky were walking on the street. Air sirens had not been heard for days! Another Biden photo op’”
Tucker Carlson also reacts to Biden’s photo op in Ukraine:
“No, Zelensky is not a hero. He is an instrument of total destruction. That is not a defense of his enemies, it’s just true. And maybe that’s why Joe Biden is drawn to him.”
