Speaking from the Oval Office starting at 8 p.m. ET, Biden made the case to Americans that it’s vital to both global and U.S. national security to assist Israel as it responds to terror attacks by Hamas as well as to continue help for Ukraine as it fends off Russian invaders.
“Hamas and Putin represent different threads but they share this in common: They both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy,” Biden said, referring to the extremists and Russia’s president.
Biden said he knows the conflicts can seem distant and Americans might be asking why it’s vital to U.S. security interests that Israel and Ukraine succeed.
“History has taught us that when terrorists don’t pay a price for their terror, when dictators don’t pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos and debt and more destruction,” Biden said. “They keep going – and the cost and the threats to America and the world keep rising.”
Fuck Biden for backing this war and apologizing for their war crimes. He is scum.
How has he apologized for their war crimes? That’s not what I’ve heard him say at all
Not who you’re responding to, but telling diplomats not to use the phrases “de-escalation/ceasefire”, “end to violence/bloodshed”, and “restoring calm” is a pretty close to a functional endorsement of them.
Vote for Trump then.
Are you implying that Trump (or any conservative) wouldn’t also bend over backwards to Netanyahu? The US is an Israeli puppet state
I’d wager they’re implying a “never Biden” stance is basically a vote for Trump in a contest between the two. In reality, Biden has clearly told Israel to restrain themselves and gotten them to agree to allow in humanitarian aid, whereas Trump would have them carpet-bombing Gaza
Exactly, he was the one who moved US embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing it as capital of Israel, even though he was advised to not do it.
He also claims he killed Soleimani (nearly starting war with Iran) because Nethanyahu asked him. Of course Nethanyahu won’t admit it so we don’t know, but I tend to think it probably is true as he would never give anyone credit, and claiming that doesn’t save him.
Every policy he did in his 4 years was pro Israel. Things he didn’t need to do and only were stirring the pot.
Now he magically supposedly supports Palestinians, calling Hezbollah smart. Interestingly when there seems to be similar position in Kremlin.
No, I am implying that your other choice is Trump, which is infinitely worse. So, not voting for Biden is giving one vote for Trump.
I see we’re still pretending those are the only two options.
Unless you have ranked choice voting where you are, they are the only two options. Voting for a 3rd party in most of the US is the same thing as just not voting for whichever of the two main candidates you prefer against the other.
