The State Department spokesperson said this morning that the administration is doing everything they can to keep Russia from invading Ukraine:

Everything??? Ted Cruz says not even close:
Have words lost meaning for the Biden administration?
When they say, "We are seeking to do EVERYTHING we can" that hasn't included the 2 things Ukraine has called for: immediate sanctions on Nord Stream 2 and boosted lethal aid to defend themselves. https://t.co/DuqUkJB5ey

Cruz is exactly right about this.
But you could go one step further and say that Biden has enabled Russia to invade Ukraine by removing congressional sanctions and allowing them to finish Nord Stream 2. Meaning, this soon-to-be invasion of Ukraine is partly Biden’s fault.
If we had a meaningful press, they’d be asking Biden if he bears responsibility for this new Russian aggression because of Nord Stream 2 and making sure everyone knows about this connection between Biden and the Russians. They did it to Trump even though it wasn’t true, but when it is true with Biden, they don’t say anything. Biden is clearly a Russian puppet.
