Do not let Putin win, Biden pleads with Republicans on Ukraine
President Joe Biden pleaded with Republicans on Wednesday for a fresh infusion of military aid for Ukraine, warning that a victory for Russia over Ukraine would leave Moscow in position to attack NATO allies and could draw U.S. troops into a war.
Biden spoke as the United States planned to announce $175 million in additional Ukraine aid from its dwindling supply of money for Kyiv. He signaled a willingness to make significant changes to U.S. migration policy along the border with Mexico to try to draw Republican support.
"If Putin takes Ukraine, he won’t stop there," Biden said. Putin will attack a NATO ally, he predicted, and then "we’ll have something that we don't seek and that we don't have today: American troops fighting Russian troops," Biden said.
“We can’t let Putin win,” he said, prompting an angry reaction from Moscow.
@MicroWave I agree with President Biden. To let Putin win is to let the Republicans win. That is one thing that absolutely must not be allowed to happen.
So, what about those bunker-penetrating rockets?
@uis Whose bunker is being penetrated? I'm no pacifist. There are legitimate targets.
Can you do Putin's bunker? Asking for a friend.
Sure, if we need them? But when did the Republicans start hiding in bunkers?
