A bombshell report from the New York Times has pulled back the curtain on just how deeply entangled the Biden administration was in the Ukraine war—despite years of public denials and claims of “limited involvement.”

According to the report, the United States didn’t just send aid packages and cheer from the sidelines. American officials were directly involved in helping Ukraine’s military strike Russian targets—so deeply, in fact, that one European intelligence officer told the Times that Americans had become “part of the kill chain.”

That’s right. U.S. advisers helped pick targets, shared tactical data under the euphemism of “points of interest,” and even embedded near front-line operations—all while the White House continued to spin a narrative of hands-off diplomacy.

In Spring 2022, Ukrainian officials met with U.S. personnel at the European Command headquarters in Wiesbaden, Germany, where they hashed out how to pass along targeting data without officially labeling it as such. That linguistic sleight-of-hand was meant to provide Washington with plausible deniability in case the situation escalated.

As one U.S. official admitted, the goal was to avoid triggering a Russian response: “If you ever get asked the question, ‘Did you pass a target to the Ukrainians?’ you can legitimately not be lying when you say, ‘No, I did not.’”

But the involvement didn’t stop there. The U.S. had final control over the HIMARS missile systems provided to Ukraine, with the ability to deactivate the key cards needed to launch them. American advisers—rebranded as “subject matter experts” for appearances—made regular trips to the front lines. Their official titles were only restored when the Ukrainian government changed, at which point their numbers tripled.

The Biden administration, in classic fashion, hid behind semantics and diplomatic sleights-of-hand while essentially coordinating strikes that left over 700,000 Russian troops dead or wounded. That’s not “limited support”—that’s full-blown military direction without congressional approval or public consent.

All of this was done while publicly claiming to avoid escalation. Yet they knew how dangerous their actions were. One official even said, “Imagine how that would be for us if we knew that the Russians helped some other country assassinate our chairman. Like, we’d go to war.”

That’s exactly the situation Biden’s crew has risked by threading this needle behind the public’s back.

Of course, the cooperation wasn’t without friction. Ukrainian leaders complained that the Americans were too controlling. U.S. officials, on the other hand, were frustrated when Ukraine didn’t follow their suggestions. In short, this wasn’t a partnership—it was American micromanagement in everything but name.

Let’s be clear: the Biden administration wasn’t just “supporting an ally.” They were running battlefield logistics, coordinating artillery strikes, and essentially calling the shots in a war that could spiral into a global conflict. And they did it all while pretending they weren’t really involved.

So while Biden stood before the cameras insisting the U.S. was avoiding war with Russia, his Pentagon was quietly entrenching the country deeper than most Americans ever imagined.

This isn’t just a case of strategic ambiguity—it’s deception. And the consequences of this duplicity could be catastrophic. If Russia had decided to retaliate directly against the United States or a NATO ally, there’s little question where the blame would land.

Once again, the American people were kept in the dark by an administration that plays by its own rules and only tells the truth when it’s too late.
