Cynical maneuver: Biden reacted violently to aid to Israel without Ukraine

The White House called this Republican initiative a “cynical political maneuver.”

The administration of President of the United States of America (USA) Joe Biden criticized the intention of the House of Representatives to vote for a bill on financial assistance to Israel without a program to support Ukraine . This was stated in a statement by White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

Thus, the statement called this initiative a “cynical political maneuver” by the Republicans.

“For months, the administration has worked with a bipartisan group of senators on a national security agreement that secures our border and ensures the support of the people of Ukraine and Israel. At a time when legislative text is imminent, House Republicans are offering their latest cynical political maneuver.” , says the statement.

Israel’s security should be a sacred, not a political game, the White House said, speaking out “strongly against this stunt that does nothing to secure the border, does not help the people of Ukraine defend themselves from Putin’s aggression, and denies humanitarian aid to Palestinian civilians.”

It notes that House Republicans should instead work in a bipartisan manner, as the administration and Senate do, on these pressing national security issues.

Help from the US for Ukraine – what is known

For several months now, American legislators have been unable to approve Joe Biden’s request for additional funding, which concerns assistance to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, as well as US national security issues. Issues of support for Ukraine are being blocked due to the crisis on the southern border, where the number of migrants has increased significantly. 

Recently, Speaker of the US House of Representatives Mike Johnson said that the US national security package, which talks about  assistance to Ukraine  and border security, is likely to be divided. 

Johnson said last night that a vote would take place next week on a bill to speed up $17.6 billion in security aid to Israel – without support from Ukraine .

  1. Each month the masks fall a little more. There is, I believe, nothing more to say about the intentions that drive a (large) part of the GOP, the facts speak for themselves. Their goal is to do everything to destroy Ukraine. All these shenanigans and changes to the bills only serve this purpose. I don’t even believe that these maneuvers are a lever to make Trump look good.
    I believe the reality is much worse. This is in truth a “political” takeover bid by Russia for a US political elite. Those who say otherwise are crazy.

    They are very close to succeeding. We will see this fall whether these legislative terrorists will retain their splendor, when we witness the annihilation of Ukraine before our eyes. “Buthas” all over Ukraine, an identity and culture destroyed, millions of people fleeing across Europe whose safety will be directly threatened by the Nazis in the Kremlin. You can imagine the photo!

    The United States no longer seems to be a reliable partner, nor the leader of freedom that it prides itself on being. Is USA still USA? Stars and Stripes loses one of its 50 stars every day by procrastinating and not allowing the brave Ukrainians to fight one of the worst threats to a free world.

    We beg you! Vote now for this aid to Ukrainians! They deserve it more than anyone!

  2. Johnson is trying to split Democrats by dangling Israeli aid, so that if the Democrats vote it down, either in the House or in the Senate, he can claim that they voted against aid to Israel.
