Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) said she thinks the Biden administration wants Russia to invade Ukraine so that it has an excuse to impose draconian\u201d sanctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia\u2019s military has amassed along its border with Ukraine for weeks as international leaders have become increasingly concerned that\u00a0Vladimir Putin<\/strong>\u00a0will order an invasion. Tensions have escalated to such a point that on Tuesday, National Security Advisor\u00a0Jake Sullivan<\/strong>\u00a0urged<\/a>\u00a0Americans in Ukraine to leave within 48 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appearing on Tucker Carlson Tonight<\/em>, Gabbard declared that President Joe Biden<\/strong> could prevent an invasion simply by assuring Russian President Vladimir Putin<\/strong> that Ukraine will never be a member of NATO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s hard to know what to believe \u2013 always \u2013 and especially now,\u201d Tucker Carlson<\/strong> said, But let\u2019s stipulate \u2013 agree to agree \u2013 that it seems likely we could see some conflict between Russia and Ukraine soon. How should we view that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, President Biden could end this crisis and prevent a war with Russia by doing something very simple,\u201d Gabbard responded. Guaranteeing that Ukraine will not become a member of NATO \u2013 because if Ukraine became a member of NATO, that would put U.S. and NATO troops right on the doorstep of Russia, which, as Putin has laid out, would undermine their national security interests.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gabbard said it\u2019s highly, highly unlikely,\u201d Ukraine will ever become a NATO member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the question is, why don\u2019t president Biden and NATO leaders actually just say that and guarantee it?\u201d she asked. Which begs the question of why are we in this position then? If the answer to this and preventing this war from happening is very clear as day. And really, it just points to one conclusion that I can see, which is, they actually want to Russia to invade Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former congresswoman said that such an invasion would give Biden a pretext to impose harsh sanctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number one, it gives the Biden administration a clear excuse to go and levy draconian sanctions, which are a modern day siege against Russia and the Russian people,\u201d she said. And number two, it cements this Cold War in place. The military-industrial complex is one of the benefits from this. They clearly control the Biden administration. Warmongers on both sides of Washington have drumming up those tensions. If they get Russia to invade Ukraine, then, again, it locks in this new Cold War.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
