As the Biden administration pushes forward with its unrelenting support for Ukraine, it has now become clear that the current trajectory could have devastating consequences for the United States in the coming years. In an unexpected twist, President Joe Biden’s actions have essentially set up his successor, Donald Trump, for a post-war presidency. The weight of escalating global conflict, bloodshed, and economic decline will dominate Trump’s agenda, mirroring the aftermath of the pandemic coup that undermined Trump’s efforts to strengthen the economy. Biden’s decisions risk plunging the U.S. into a new era of war and instability, leaving Trump to navigate the fallout.

The Biden Administration’s Dangerous Escalation in Ukraine

The Biden administration has sent billions of dollars in military and financial aid to Ukraine, pushing advanced weaponry and resources to Ukrainian forces. As of 2024, the U.S. has approved over $75 billion in aid to Ukraine, providing everything from anti-tank missiles to air-defense systems and heavy artillery. But recent developments show that Biden’s support has reached a dangerous level. He recently lifted restrictions on Ukraine using U.S.-supplied Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to strike deep inside Russian territory, a move that risks igniting a broader war.

This decision has set the stage for a major geopolitical confrontation. The lifting of the ban not only increases the likelihood of retaliation from Russia, but it also opens the door to NATO’s direct involvement in the conflict, bringing the world to the brink of a catastrophic war. While the Biden administration may have believed this would bolster Ukraine’s defenses, it is clear that such escalation could have catastrophic consequences—especially if it provokes Russia into direct retaliation, leading to further loss of life and destruction.

Putin’s Warning: NATO’s Participation in the War

Russian President Vladimir Putin has already warned that any move to provide Ukraine with long-range missile capabilities will be viewed as NATO’s direct participation in the war. Putin has made it clear that missile systems like the ATACMS can only be operated by NATO military personnel, implying that NATO countries—specifically the U.S. and European nations—would be seen as belligerents in the conflict. This escalation could lead to full-scale military engagement not only between Russia and Ukraine but between NATO and Russia, potentially sparking World War III.

North Korea’s Support for Russia: A Dangerous Alliance

The situation has become even more precarious with the growing involvement of North Korea. As tensions mount between Russia and Ukraine, North Korea has expressed its unwavering support for Russia in the event of a larger conflict. In recent months, North Korea has pledged to back Russia with supplies, including military aid, in the event that the war expands. With North Korea already providing artillery shells to Russia and offering its full support, this creates a dangerous axis between North Korea and Russia against Western powers.

North Korea’s support of Russia comes at a time when it continues to develop and test advanced missile systems, adding another layer of complexity to the conflict. If the war escalates into a full-scale global war, North Korea’s backing of Russia could add significant weight to the Russian military effort, complicating efforts for a diplomatic resolution. This alliance also risks pulling more countries into the fray, expanding the scope of the conflict in unpredictable ways.

The Bloodshed on Both Sides: A Humanitarian Crisis Unfolds

The lifting of the ban on U.S. weapons being used to strike deep within Russia could trigger a new wave of violence. Russia is likely to retaliate with brutal force, resulting in further bloodshed. Ukraine, already ravaged by months of bombing and conflict, will likely see more destruction, while Russian forces dig in for a prolonged engagement. The consequences for civilians in both countries are unimaginable, and the broader humanitarian crisis will only deepen as the war expands.

But the violence won’t be confined to just Russia and Ukraine. NATO’s involvement, which is increasingly likely under Biden’s policies, will bring European nations into the fray. The U.S., under Biden’s direction, risks dragging the entire Western world into a conflict that could have far-reaching consequences for global stability.

The Economic Fallout: The Strain on America’s Resources

While the war rages on overseas, the financial strain on the United States is already mounting. The Biden administration has committed billions of taxpayer dollars to Ukraine, with no clear end in sight. As the U.S. continues to fund the war, crucial domestic needs are being neglected. Essential services such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure remain underfunded, while the defense budget swells to unsustainable levels.

The economic consequences of Biden’s war policies are becoming increasingly clear. As military spending balloons, inflation continues to erode American savings, and the national debt grows at an alarming rate. At the same time, the U.S. government faces the difficult task of balancing these expenditures with the needs of its own citizens. Taxpayer money is being diverted to Ukraine, and there are growing concerns about the possibility of these funds being laundered back to domestic political interests. Some, including newly appointed Attorney General Matt Gaetz, have suggested that the war in Ukraine may be a vehicle for money laundering, pointing to the relationship between defense contractors and politicians who stand to benefit from the continued conflict.

Matt Gaetz’s Bold Claims: The Real Motivation Behind the War

Attorney General Matt Gaetz has spoken out against the motivations behind the U.S. involvement in Ukraine, going so far as to suggest that the war is being used as a means to launder money. In an interview, Gaetz stated:

“I think that the reason we are as involved in Ukraine as we are is because Afghanistan wound down. If we still had Afghanistan to launder money through, there probably wouldn't be the need for this type of excessive involvement in Ukraine. What a lot of these defense contractors are pushing toward is how to have an extended, low-yield war… a 20 or 30-year conflict where there’s a lot of money moving around, unaccountable pots, weapons being bought, and stockpiles that need to be replenished.”

Gaetz’s comments suggest that the prolonged conflict in Ukraine could be a means of continuing the money laundering that has long been a feature of U.S. military operations in foreign conflicts. As funds are sent to Ukraine, some of that money may be funneled back through political channels such as ActBlue, the Democratic fundraising platform, where it could end up benefiting political campaigns and special interest groups. This unaccountable flow of money is not just an issue for the U.S. taxpayer, but for the integrity of the entire political system.

The Economic Chaos: A Struggling U.S. Economy and a War-Torn Future

The economic fallout from the war and Biden’s escalation will be profound. The U.S. is already reeling from inflation, supply chain issues, and a rapidly expanding national debt. As Biden’s administration continues to prioritize foreign conflict over domestic stability, the U.S. economy could spiral into a full-blown recession, which will likely worsen under Trump’s presidency.

Just as the pandemic lockdowns prevented Trump from fully addressing America’s economic issues, Biden’s war policies have similarly stifled any potential for recovery. By 2025, when Trump is set to return to the White House, he will inherit a nation economically battered and globally embroiled in war. With the U.S. economy on the brink and a global conflict escalating, Trump’s efforts to stabilize the country may be severely hampered.

Conclusion: The Bloodshed, Escalation, and War Economy

The lifting of the ban on U.S. weapons being used to strike deeper into Russian territory is a dangerous gamble that could escalate the war into a global conflict. As Putin has warned, NATO’s direct involvement in the war could trigger devastating consequences for both Ukraine and Russia, as well as the world at large. The human cost will be staggering, with the bloodshed on both sides likely to continue until a diplomatic solution is reached—if one ever comes.

Biden’s reckless escalation, driven by geopolitical ambition and, perhaps, the hidden motivations of financial gain, threatens not only Ukraine and Russia but the very fabric of the U.S. economy. With billions of taxpayer dollars funneled into the war effort, the U.S. faces the potential for long-term economic hardship, further exacerbated by money laundering and political maneuvering. As Trump enters the White House in 2025, he will face the grim reality of inheriting a nation caught between economic collapse and the fallout of a devastating global conflict. The war started by Biden, with backing from nations like North Korea, could very well define the next era of American history—one marked by violence, instability, and a struggling economy.
