President Joe Biden addressed the American people Thursday night from the Oval Office, tying together the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel, arguing 'we can't let terrorists like Hamas and Putin win.'
Arguing that 'chaos will spread,' the president pleaded with Congress to pass what's expected to be $100 billion in new funding, which is already being met with resistance by Congressional Republicans, wary of giving any new money to Ukraine.
But seated at the Resolute Desk, Biden argued in his 15-minute address that Russian President Vladimir Putin and the terror group Hamas, responsible for the bloody October 7 attack on Israel 'represent different threats' but share a common goal.

The US has already given a trillion. This looks like a bottomless spending pit.

I don't think the two are directly connected, but we shouldn't let evil win in either case. And for the snide folks, Putin's Russia and Hamas are both evil. I know some individual Russians who are not bad folks, but the country, under Putin, as rotten as the Tsar's Russia ever was, or Stalin's Russia.

Not factual #3. Massive, 100X or more exaggeration doesn't make your specious claim stronger.

#4, Ukraine could have been avoided. Joe started ginning up the prospect of war long before Russia invaded that country. It was all he could talk about. Biden and his crew wanted that war and they are busy funding it to the tune of how many billions?! Trump had Russia in check and Biden blew that up the moment he walked in the Oval Office. Everything the old fool has done has been an utter disaster and it is the root of all the chaos in the world. Why should we give him one more dollar to sow chaos? Ukraine is a corrupt country and has billions poured into it with zero accountability. No one knows where the money has gone. Why would any reasonable person want to give them more? A lot of people are getting rich from this war while the Ukrainian people continue to suffer the most. So not one more dollar to Ukraine.
Israel our greatest ally in the Middle East should be supported by us. They deserve our support. They are the only sane voice in that region. If Israel fails in their mission to destroy Hamas, the possibility of WWIII is a real one nd we must do everything in our power to prevent that. So use to Israel and No to Ukraine.

Joe, you funded Putin's war by driving up the price of oil.
You are Russia's best friend.
Idiot.

There should be no linkage of funds for Ukraine and Israel. No more funds for Ukraine.

Projection #4. Land of the free and home of the brave - what a cruel joke. How many coups, wars, deaths has the US instigated to preserve its empire?

To reply #8 - Do you realize that the U.S. is now paying top dollar to refill the oil reserve that they depleted when the price of oil was much lower ? The Biden regime is an unmitigated DISASTER.
