Failed former President Joe Biden has launched a desperate attack against President Trump’s administration for what he calls “modern-day appeasement” towards Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In his first interview since leaving the White House in disgrace, Biden recycled tired accusations of “appeasement” while ignoring the catastrophic costs his own policies imposed on American taxpayers and Ukrainian lives.
Biden’s criticism comes as President Trump makes significant headway in negotiating a ceasefire that could finally end the bloody conflict that escalated dramatically under Biden’s watch.
Speaking from Delaware, the former president appeared bitter and resentful as he compared Trump’s peace efforts to Neville Chamberlain’s appeasement of Hitler.
This historically inaccurate and inflammatory comparison shows Biden’s desperation to stay relevant.
Biden’s reckless rhetoric threatens to undermine Trump’s progress toward achieving what the Biden administration failed to do: bring stability to Eastern Europe without draining American resources.
Under Biden’s leadership, billions of taxpayer dollars were sent overseas with minimal accountability while domestic problems mounted.
President Trump has repeatedly stated his goal of securing a lasting peace deal without bankrupting America.
This commonsense approach prioritizes American interests while recognizing the complex geopolitical realities that Biden’s idealistic policies ignored.

Notably, Biden waited until safely out of office to express his strongest opinions on Ukraine.
While president, he hesitated to provide critical defensive systems that might have prevented Russian advances, yet now criticizes others for seeking realistic solutions.
This quarterbacking exposes the hypocrisy of Biden’s position – willing to fight to the last Ukrainian while American families struggled under crushing inflation directly caused by his reckless spending policies and energy restrictions.
“I just don’t understand how people think that if we allow a dictator, a thug, to decide he’s going to take significant portions of land that aren’t his and that’s gonna satisfy him, I don’t quite understand,” Biden said.
What Biden fails to mention is that Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 when he was Vice President, and the Obama-Biden administration’s weak response likely emboldened Putin to believe he could take more territory with impunity.
Moreover, Trump’s approach acknowledges the reality of the situation rather than clinging to unachievable ideals that cost American taxpayers billions while failing to change facts on the ground.
Unlike Biden’s blank-check approach, President Trump is seeking a practical solution that prioritizes American interests while recognizing the complex realities in the region.
Biden’s criticism that Trump does not understand alliances reflects his own failure to recognize that American leadership is not measured by how much taxpayer money we give away, but by achieving results that benefit Americans.
With Biden’s leadership, NATO allies continued to fall short of their defense spending commitments while expecting the United States to shoulder the primary burden.
President Trump has consistently demanded that America’s allies pay their fair share, a position that strengthens rather than weakens the alliance by ensuring all members contribute proportionally.
Furthermore, Biden’s statement about “confiscation” is stunningly hypocritical, considering his administration oversaw the most aggressive domestic government overreach in modern history.
This included unconstitutional vaccine mandates, censorship coordination with Big Tech, and the weaponization of federal agencies against political opponents.
Biden’s selective concern for freedom and democracy abroad while undermining these principles at home exposes the hollow nature of his criticism. President Trump’s straightforward approach to international relations reflects a commitment to honest diplomacy rather than the empty platitudes that characterized Biden’s failed foreign policy.
As President Trump works toward a reasonable solution to the Ukraine conflict, Americans should remember that peace through strength, not endless foreign entanglements, has always been the hallmark of successful American foreign policy.
Biden’s criticism from the sidelines changes nothing about his record of failure and the mess that President Trump is now cleaning up.
