“It’s just shocking. I’ve never seen anything like it,” the president said Monday.
President Joe Biden called the behavior of House Republicans “shocking” on Monday for “walking away from the threat of Russia” for not passing aid for Ukraine.
“The way they’re walking away from the threat of Russia, the way they’re walking away from NATO, the way they’re walking away from meeting our obligations. It’s just shocking. I’ve never seen anything like it,” Biden said in remarks to reporters on the White House lawn.
Biden’s frustrations with House Republicans have increased after the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who died Friday in prison.
The president urged House Republicans to pass aid for Ukraine on Friday, saying, “It’s about time they step up, don’t you think,” instead of going on an extended recess, which he called a “two-week vacation.”
I disagree with both of those (duty/interest) statements, so, yes, it matters.
fuck off
I like how they obv took the time to methodically give all his naysayers one downvote. You are slain!
Edit: ayeeeeeee?! Im slain 2
careful out there!
Wait for it
Duty to defend an avowed ally? Interest because Ukraine is the only country standing in the way of Russia and NATO Art. 5.
Disagree all you want. You’re wrong.
So they’re not allowed to defend themselves against russia? Lol the fuck are you smoking…
They’re absolutely allowed to, it is neither our duty nor in our interest to continue being an interventionist nation.
If we just let Russia steamroll through and take bites out of Europe with impunity, it’s going to be World War Three. Putin won’t stop with just Ukraine. He’ll try to take everything he thinks he can get.
An honest question - why would he want Europe? The assumptions for why he attacked Ukraine were because of some huge natural gas reserves that were discovered and because the pipeline from Russia to Europe goes thru Ukraine and they are forced to pay transit fees or something like that. The rest of Europe is all Nato and they can legaly attack them from all sides. Wouldn’t the decision to open a new front be like the most retarded thing to do?
Some of the countries that he’s on the record about wanting are part of NATO and/or the EU. If he tries to take them, it doesn’t matter how much of Europe he actually wants to mess with. All of Europe will get involved.
You have fallen so far for the propaganda you actually believe that
What’s your news source? Where’s your clarity coming from?
