Biden makes prime-time case for US assistance to Israel and Ukraine, links Putin and Hamas
Speaking from the Oval Office starting at 8 p.m. ET, Biden made the case to Americans that it's vital to both global and U.S. national security to assist Israel as it responds to terror attacks by Hamas as well as to continue help for Ukraine as it fends off Russian invaders.
"Hamas and Putin represent different threads but they share this in common: They both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy," Biden said, referring to the extremists and Russia's president.
Biden said he knows the conflicts can seem distant and Americans might be asking why it's vital to U.S. security interests that Israel and Ukraine succeed.
"History has taught us that when terrorists don't pay a price for their terror, when dictators don't pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos and debt and more destruction," Biden said. "They keep going -- and the cost and the threats to America and the world keep rising."
I don't think it's as unpopular as you think it is. The internet skews perceptions.
Certainly not enough to stop supporting biden. I like what he has done so far. That being said I don't really want us involved although im sorta fine with the humanitarian efforts and warning other nations to not get involved. I mean its really mostly and iran thing but the token aid to israel sorta galls me. I don't think they really need it and I want us to see ukraine through.
And that basically what it is coming to. US doesn't want to get involved, but doesn't want this to grow beyond Israel VS Hamas.
Having said that Iran and Russia are trying hard to escalate the conflict.
Im not sure how much Iran wants this escalated. Sure I think they want to use it for their own internal propaganda spins but I doubt they want to be active in terms of their own people.
Iran is Russia ally, hates Israel, want US to be occupied with this so it won't pay attention to them and doesn't want any agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Keep in mind Iran and Russia want to escalate this, but via proxy, they are of course not interested in direct fight.
oh yeah. I could totally see proxy shit.
Me too… nothing has fundamentally changed, just like he promised his corporate donors
Democrat voters favor Palestine over Israel at a rate of 49% to 38% . Going against your voters' polling results is never a good thing when going into an election year
That's from March. Polls now are very different.
Polls show Americans agree with Biden on US foreign policy on Israel
More and more I realize I am not really American.
They’ll vote blue, no matter who
If the GOP could pull out of their southern strategy death spiral a lot of Biden voters would go red. Against all evidence many people still consider R to be better on their wallet.
Wait but doesnt that mean they favour israel over palestine at a rate of 51% to 62%?
Oh wait i see now after clicking the link
Disregard above
ugh. msn.
