KJP Blindsided When Asked Why Biden Isn’t ‘Preventing These Wars In The First Place’

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was left scrambling for an explanation after a reporter asked why Joe Biden wasn’t “doing a better job preventing these wars in the first place.”

“I understand you saying that [Biden’s] rallied the troops and brought allies together, that all makes sense, but I guess the origin of my question is why aren’t we doing a better job preventing these wars in the first place?” the reporter asked during the White House press briefing on Monday.

Karine began by assuring that the Biden administration’s goal “has always been a prosperous Middle East, a peaceful Middle East,” but claimed now it’s focused on reacting to the wars in Ukraine and Israel that have since broken out.

“At the same tine, if Russia’s going to invade Ukraine, we have to be there for Ukraine. [Russia’s] trying to take over their sovereignty, their democracy. We have to be there,” she said.

“If we have to be there for Israel, as they fight off a terrorist organization, right? Innocent people are being killed. And so, president’s gonna to be there for that. So, look, it doesn’t stop us, deter us from what we’re trying to do more broadly in having these diplomatic conversation.”

“We’re gonna do the job that is at hand. That’s what the President is focused on,” she added.

By contrast, last week former President Donald Trump highlighted how no new wars broke out during his time in office because he exhibited strong leadership that deterred Russia from making advances on Ukraine and resulted in the Abraham Accords, a historic normalization agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.

“If I were President Israel would not have been attacked. It was viciously attacked. It would not have been attacked,” Trump said last Wednesday.

“If I were President Israel would not have been attacked. Ukraine would not have been attacked…You take a look at what’s going on throughout the world. The world right now is a mess.”

“Ukraine would not have been attacked. You take a look at what’s going on throughout the world. The world right now is a mess,” he added.

That’s a notion most Americans agree with, as a Harvard Center for American Political Studies (CAPS)-Harris Poll last year found 62% of voters agreed Russian President Vladimir Putin would not have invaded Ukraine while Trump was president.

The world desperately needs competent leadership if it hopes to stop more wars from bubbling up.
