Washington: Republican Party leaders have targeted President Joe Biden after he allowed Ukraine to attack Russia with an American missile. Surrogates of the newly elected president have accused Biden's decision to allow limited strikes on Russia of trying to provoke 'Third World War'. At the same time, former top war crimes prosecutor of the United Nations, Dr. Francis Boyle has created a stir by revealing the impeachment bill against Biden to prevent the Third World War. However, no such official demand has been made yet by the Republicans.
Allies of President-elect Donald Trump have vented anger at Joe Biden over his decision to allow Ukraine to use long-range US missiles to launch attacks inside Russia for the first time, The Guardian reports. Russia has described this as a step to escalate the war to a deadly situation.
Accused of trying to instigate a “Third World War”
Trump's son Donald Trump Jr., hard-line congressional Republicans and other supporters have accused Biden of trying to instigate a “Third World War” before Trump takes office in January. Donald Trump Jr. (Trump's son) wrote in a post on “,”.
US State Department defends Biden
State Department spokesman Matthew Miller defended Biden's decision during a press conference on Monday, saying: “[द] The American people elected Joe Biden not for a three-year and 10-month term, but for a four-year term, and we will use every day of his term to advance the foreign policy interests that matter to us. “We believe these are in the best interests of the American people.”
Discussions over whether to authorize strikes in Ukraine had been ongoing for months between the White House, the State Department and European allies. Currently, the decision to allow limited strikes using US-supplied Atakam missiles would allow Ukrainian forces to target Russian military infrastructure in the Kursk region, where the US has said more than 10,000 North Koreans are killed. The soldiers have joined Russian forces preparing to counter-attack.
Trump wants the war to end
The White House's decision will pose a dilemma for the incoming administration whether to immediately withdraw the authority after Trump's inauguration or retain it as a potential bargaining chip in negotiations. While Trump and his allies have largely condemned increased military support and financial aid for the Ukrainian government. Trump wants to end the Russia-Ukraine war. But analysts said it was unclear whether Trump would take immediate steps to rescind the decision regarding the long-range missiles.
