Speaking about the vote on funding to support Ukraine, the US President emphasized that “history will judge harshly those who turn their backs on the cause of freedom.”
US President Joe Biden called on Congress to approve additional funding for military assistance to Ukraine in the amount of more than $60 billion. He emphasized that if Russia is allowed to win, it will not stop only at Ukraine – the fighting will also cover NATO countries.
In his speech , he noted that he held a meeting with the G7, where they discussed, in particular, assistance to Ukraine. According to him, the leaders of the G7 and “our European friends” are ready to support Kyiv in the future.
“Who in the United States is ready to give this up? I’m telling you, I’m not ready, and I don’t think the American people are either. If Putin takes over Ukraine, he won’t stop there. It’s important to take the long term here. He’s going to continue. He did This is pretty clear. If Putin attacks a NATO ally, as a NATO member we have committed ourselves to defending every inch of NATO territory. Then we will have something that we do not aspire to and that we do not have today: American troops will fight Russian troops “, he emphasized.
The American leader added that this vote will be remembered for a long time. Biden emphasized that “history will judge harshly those who turn their backs on the cause of freedom.”
“We cannot allow Putin to win. I will say it again: we cannot allow Putin to win. It is in our national interests and in the international interests of all our friends. Any obstacle to our ability to support Ukraine clearly strengthens Putin’s position,” he added.

Shame on you ! The Senate said no , in the procedural vote on Joe Biden’s request for additional national security funding.
Back to negotiations… with legislative terrorists.
Extremely dark hours await us. I pray that the light returns to the Capitol and that Republican common sense awakens!
“The Senate is slated to head out of town Thursday and only has one more week of session scheduled until the new year. Senate Democratic leadership had hoped to pass the supplemental package before the holiday break.” (Politico)
How to be optimistic? Everyone on Capitol Hill seems able/willing to stand their ground even if it costs the skin of an entire country.
“…senators acknowledge it’s looking more likely that Congress won’t pass new money for Ukraine this year” (The Hill)
My goodness, what a lovely Christmas present to the Ukrainians.
There is no horizon beyond December for Ukraine if aid is not passed during this session. That’s all. The slowdown in arms deliveries is already being felt on the front. We know that without constant support everything will collapse in 1 week.
Vote the aid now!
“history will judge harshly those who turn their backs on the cause of freedom.”
This must be the most incompetent and childish Congress we ever had. I can’t recollect of ever having so many morons to be our “representatives”. One side is slowly destroying our nation through their brainless open border policies, and the other side is allowing the destruction of an innocent, brave nation while allowing a Hitler 2,0 to win a brutal war.
Yes, history will judge harshly on this pack of worthless oxygen thieves that get paid for gross incompetence!
