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.”
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.
