“Our forces are not going to Europe to fight in Ukraine.”

“Our forces are not and will not be engaged in a conflict with Russia in Ukraine.”

Biden has reasserted several times now he has not intent to have our armed forces fighting in Ukraine. When I first heard the man say that I immediately concluded that it was only a matter of time until American boots would be on the ground in Ukraine. Now, to be sure, I may be wrong about this but I have more than sufficient reason to give Biden’s statement its exact opposite meaning. This kind of thing is an old game in this American “Republic.” We’ve covered this material before on Iron Ink but in order to give justification for my absolute resolve to conclude that Biden’s hair tasting tongue is lying I offer this reminder of previous promises coming from US Presidents on the same issue.
Our first example comes from the perhaps the greatest lying President of them all; the sainted and worshiped Abraham Lincoln who in his first inaugural address lied saying,
“In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. ”
Because Lincoln is genuflected before as a secular saint of the American civil religion most people don’t know that Lincoln started the Civil War by his deceptive work with the “Star of the West.” Lincoln, via Seward, was lying to Southern Representatives about possible peace pursuits all the while arranging for war by preparing the “Star of the West” to take aggressive action against Fort Sumter.
By examining this link one can readily see that it was in Lincoln’s hands that rested the momentous issue of civil war.
The Newspaper the “Jersey City American Standard” said at the time;
“ …this unarmed vessel (Star of the West) is a mere decoy to draw the first fire from the people of the South, which act by the pre-determination of the government is to be the pretext for letting loose the horrors of war.”
Lincoln promised that he would not be the aggressor. He said that the decision of war was in the hands of the South. It was all lies.
Lincoln gives us example #1 of why we should not believe Bite-me’s promises.
Example #2 comes from Woodrow Wilson who in the 1916 made the centerpiece of His presidential campaign, “He kept us out of war.” The man won the White House on the center-piece reminder that “He kept us out of war,” which implied a promise that Wilson was going to continue to keep us out of war. In the election Wilson’s campaign put out campaign buttons saying “Europe at War; America at Peace. God Bless Wilson”
By this slogan the incumbent President eked out a narrow victory over Charles Evans Hughes in November 1916. No sooner was Wilson elected to his second term upon the slogan that “He kept us out of war,” Wilson began to accelerate his plotting and conniving to get us into the damn European war.
Example #3 comes from the lying liar who lied with every breath, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Listen to Roosevelt’s promises regarding potential involvement of the US in a European war under his administration. In 1939, upon the beginning of European hostilities FDR went to Congress asking for the repeal of the embargo on the sales of arms to belligerent powers, which was part of the existing neutrality legislation. FDR based his appeal on the argument that this move would help to keep the United States at peace. His words on the subject were:
Let no group assume the exclusive label of the “peace bloc.” We all belong to it … I give you my deep and unalterable conviction, based on years of experience as a worker in the field of international peace, that by the repeal of the embargo the United States will more probably remain at peace than if the law remains as it stands today … Our acts must be guided by one single, hardheaded thought — keeping America out of the war.
In the 1940 Presidential campaign FDR was everywhere promising Americans that they would not become involved in another damn European war.
October 30: “I have said this before, but I shall say it again and again and again: Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars.”
The same thought was expressed in a speech at Brooklyn on November 1: “I am fighting to keep our people out of foreign wars. And I will keep on fighting.”
The President told his audience at Rochester, New York, on November 2: “Your national government … is equally a government of peace — a government that intends to retain peace for the American people.”
On the same day the voters of Buffalo were assured: “Your President says this country is not going to war.”
And he declared at Cleveland on November 3: “The first purpose of our foreign policy is to keep our country out of war.”
And this is only a Whitman’s sampler.
So, when a President tells me like Biden is telling me that no American forces will be sent to fight in Ukraine you will excuse me if my cynicism radar is buried in expectation that we will soon enough have American boots on the ground in Ukraine.
After all… Biden’s ability to lie is no less than Lincoln’s, Wilson’s, and FDR’s.
