According to the American leader, without the approval of Congress, the United States will not be able to send weapons to Ukraine, adding that history will judge those who do not defend freedom.
US President Joseph Biden commented on the massive Russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine , which began on the night of December 29 and lasted all day. At the time of writing the news, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, 30 dead and more than 160 wounded were known.
“Tonight is a stark reminder to the world that after nearly two years of this devastating war, Putin’s goal remains unchanged. He seeks to destroy Ukraine and subjugate its people. He must be stopped,” Biden said, whose speech was released by the White House .
He noted that in the face of the brutal attack, Ukraine deployed air defense systems that the United States and other allies and partners had transferred to Ukraine over the past year. However, he warned that the United States will not be able to supply weapons to Kyiv next year without Congressional approval of funding:
The American people can be proud of the lives we have helped save and the support we have given Ukraine as it defends its people, its freedom and its independence. But unless Congress takes urgent action in the new year, we will not be able to continue sending the weapons and vital air defense systems Ukraine needs to protect its people. Congress must step up and act without further delay.”
Biden noted that the stakes in this fight go far beyond Ukraine and affect the military-political NATO bloc, the security of Europe and the future of transatlantic relations.
“Putin didn’t just try to destroy Ukraine; he also threatened some of our NATO allies. When dictators and autocrats are allowed to run roughshod in Europe, the risk increases that the United States will become directly involved in this situation. And the consequences reverberate around the world. That’s why The United States has rallied a coalition of more than 50 countries to support the defense of Ukraine. We cannot fail our allies and partners. We cannot fail Ukraine. History will judge harshly those who fail to answer the call of freedom,” the president concluded.

Both sides agree there must be more security at the border so maybe Joe Bribem could actually try being president and lead instead of pointing the finger like a child.
Who is Joe Bribem?

I don’t know – sounds like someone is suffering from “Bribem Derangement Syndrome”. 😂
What does the US border have to do with Ukraine?
Don’t forget that Democrats are trying to negotiate a deal, but Republicans refusing to do so. They’re essentially saying that unless Democrats give in completely to their demands, Putin can have Ukraine. Senator John Cornyn said, “This is not a traditional negotiation, where we expect to come up with a bipartisan compromise on the border. This is a price that has to be paid in order to get the supplemental.”
President Biden reiterated that he and the Democrats are eager to pass new immigration legislation, but “Republicans think they can get everything they want without any bipartisan compromise. That’s not the answer…. And now they’re willing to literally kneecap Ukraine on the battlefield and damage our national security in the process.”
All these controversies around borders are starting to be a real shame! How can you not die of shame?!
it’s absurd! Should we treat public health and safety in American cities the same way?
I am sad to see how much Moscow influences American politics. We saw it live. And it’s not over.
But the world must not forget one thing. When we push the desperate to the brink, all realities and contingencies become relative. In the end, who’s to say what might happen? I have my idea.
Arm Ukraine to the teeth, they are doing better than the media realizes. Putler is testing how far can flow, time to punch him in his fucking face! Heroyam Slava! 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇩🇰
Professor Heather Cox Richardson mentioned this in her post tonight, writing:
Domestically, the new ideology of MAGA means forcing the majority to live under the rules of a small minority; internationally, it means support for a global authoritarian movement. MAGA Republicans’ current refusal to fund Ukraine’s war against Russian aggression until the administration agrees to draconian immigration laws—which they are also refusing to participate in crafting—is not only a gift to Putin. It also suggests to any foreign government that U.S. foreign policy is changeable so long as a foreign government succeeds in influencing U.S. lawmakers. Under this system, American global leadership will no longer be viable.
