World News: The geopolitical landscape has been shaken as President Joe Biden, during the final days of his presidency, authorized the transfer of long-range US-made missiles to Ukraine. The controversial decision, permitting their use against deep Russian targets, has ignited fears of a nuclear confrontation and sparked accusations of political sabotage against the incoming Trump administration.A Dangerous Escalation in the Ukraine-Russia WarOn November 19, the Ukraine-Russia conflict marked its 1,000th day with a striking development. Ukrainian forces launched six American-made missiles at Russia, breaching a long-held red line set by Russian President Vladimir Putin. This dramatic escalation, facilitated by Bidens decision, comes at a critical juncture—just 62 days before President-elect Donald Trumps inauguration. Putin responded swiftly, signing a decree that lowers the threshold for Russias potential use of nuclear weapons, intensifying global fears of an imminent World War III.Political Firestorm Over Bidens ActionsBidens decision has drawn sharp criticism from Trumps allies and conservative commentators, who accuse him of endangering global stability. Donald Trump Jr. described the move as an attempt to queer the pitch for his fathers administration, tweeting: The military industrial complex seems to want to make sure they get World War Three going before my father has a chance to create peace and save lives. Political commentator Glenn Beck deemed the act “impeachable,” while Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene argued that Biden was bypassing Congress to escalate a proxy war with Russia.Is Biden Undermining Trumps TransitionCritics have likened Bidens actions to his version of the Capitol Hill assault, suggesting its a deliberate attempt to create chaos for Trump. Alexandra Lains, a commentator on X, said: This administration is so desperate to cling to power that they are willing to gamble with our future just as America is on the verge of restoring competent leadership. Bidens team, however, defended the decision, stating, “A President is elected for four years, not three years and 10 months.”The fallout from Bidens approval of missile use has been immediate. NATO nations close to Russia, including Sweden, Finland, and Denmark, have issued emergency guidelines, urging citizens to stock up on food and water in anticipation of further escalation. As Bidens presidency nears its end, the world watches anxiously, questioning whether his actions will leave a legacy of leadership or a looming nuclear crisis.
