During his first interview since leaving the White House, former President Joe Biden has launched a desperate attempt to save face, attacking President Trump’s Ukraine strategy as “modern-day appeasement.”

After failing to resolve the conflict during his term, Biden now criticizes Trump’s pragmatic approach to ending the bloodshed that has devastated Ukraine since Russia’s 2022 invasion.
Talking to BBC News, Biden compared Trump’s diplomatic efforts to Neville Chamberlain’s appeasement of Hitler in the 1930s.
This inflammatory rhetoric comes as President Trump has proposed negotiating a permanent cease-fire in Ukraine to prevent further casualties while acknowledging the geopolitical realities of Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea.
“It is modern-day appeasement,” Biden claimed, continuing his pattern of divisive rhetoric while offering no viable alternative solutions to end the conflict that escalated dramatically during his presidency.
Biden’s criticism revealed a fundamental misunderstanding of Trump’s pragmatic approach to foreign policy.
Although Biden focused on prolonging the conflict through endless military aid, President Trump is seeking a diplomatic solution that acknowledges reality while protecting American interests and preventing further Ukrainian casualties.
Furthermore, the former president’s comments also expose the Biden administration’s failure to deter Russian aggression in the first place.
Despite Biden’s claims about supporting Ukraine’s independence, Russia’s invasion occurred on his watch after President Trump had successfully maintained peace in the region during his first term.
“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,” he added.
Biden’s attempt to lecture President Trump on foreign policy rings hollow given his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and failure to prevent Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
His claims about “protecting democracy” stand in stark contrast to the billions of taxpayer dollars spent with minimal accountability while American citizens struggle with record inflation at home.
Meanwhile, Biden continues to push the false narrative that Trump does not value alliances. President Trump consistently pushed NATO members to meet their defense spending commitments while strengthening America’s position as a global leader.
Biden’s desperate attacks come as President Trump works to negotiate actual solutions to international conflicts.
While Biden spent his presidency weakening America’s standing abroad, Trump is already demonstrating strength through diplomatic efforts that put America first.
At the same time, he is seeking to end the devastating war that Biden failed to prevent or resolve.
Ultimately, the American people understand the difference between Biden’s failed foreign policy of endless wars and President Trump’s America First approach.
By seeking peace through strength and pragmatic solutions, Trump is working to restore America’s standing in the world while avoiding the needless conflicts that cost American lives and taxpayer dollars during previous administrations.
