Commentary:
Roger Waters’ criticism of President Biden’s handling of the Ukrainian conflict highlights the concerns of many Republicans regarding the president’s foreign policy. His accusation that Biden engineered the conflict and his criticism of several mishaps during his presidency may further fuel these concerns.
Waters’ call for Biden to have kept Secretary of State Baker’s promise not to advance NATO, refrained from engineering the illegal Maidan coup d’etat, and supported the Minsk accords may resonate with Republican voters who share his views on US foreign policy.
As tensions continue to rise between Ukraine and Russia, it remains to be seen how President Biden will handle the situation. However, Waters’ criticism may put further pressure on the Biden administration to take a stronger stance on the issue and ensure that US foreign policy aligns with Republican values.
