Ukraine President Tells Biden to Stop War Talk. When Will Call Transcript Be Released?

 News reports say it was not a good call.  Waiting for the whistleblower to come forward and Dems move for impeachement!

Remember when Dems accused Trump of blackmailing the Ukrainian President? They started impeachment proceedings even after the call transcript was released.  Facts didn't matter.

Now, there's a new U.S. Ukraine call and it did not go well.  When will we see the transcript? Where are the breathless anonymous whistleblowers who will be accorded the status of unassailable truth tellers?

(CNN)New signs of a fracture between the US and Ukraine over the imminence of a possible Russian invasion could seriously undermine President Joe Biden's muscular front against Vladimir Putin in their escalating standoff.

Frustration in Kyiv has mounted in recent days over escalating US rhetoric on the crisis, even as Moscow pours more troops into positions near the Ukrainian border. Washington and its allies have been waging an unusually open and vocal public relations warfare campaign -- an approach that primarily appears rooted in genuine fears of a major conflagration in Ukraine.
But there are clear signs that the strategy is also designed to pile pressure on Putin and to sharpen his strategic dilemma while compelling US allies in Europe into taking tougher stands. It may offer political cover to Biden by showing that he was not caught off guard if Russia does invade. The strategy also shields a President, who is wobbling at home, from attacks by Republican hawks keen to portray him as a weak appeaser ahead of midterm elections.
    Yet it also threatens to cause a clash between the wider interests of Biden and those of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is trying to maintain calm at home even as he tries to enlist international arms and support for his country's defense.

      A telephone call that 'did not go well'

        A call between Zelensky and Biden on Thursday should have been used to get on the same page. But the Ukrainians made it known ahead of time they would ask the US President to tone down his rhetoric. After the leaders spoke, a senior Ukrainian official told CNN's Matthew Chance in Kyiv that the call "did not go well" and that Zelensky had asked his US counterpart to "calm down the messaging" while arguing the Russian threat was still ambiguous.
        Biden is fanning the flames of a possible war with Russia in Europe to save his failing presidency. He is putting American national security and lives at risk as well as those of Ukraine and our European partners. Since there is a clear dispute about the nature of the call it is an absolute must that the transcript be released. Remember every Democrat who demanded the Trump-Ukraine transcript? Where are they now? Or do those high standards of conduct not apply to Biden?

        Joe: "Let's See what YOU did!" BIDEN: "I'm calling for the president to release the transcript of the call," Biden said at the time. "Let everybody hear what it is. Let the House see it, and see what he did. That's what I'm calling for." 

        Kammy where are you now?
