President Joe Biden, in a speech Tuesday, said while trying to sell U.S. taxpayers on a $118 billion “border security” bill that would spend $20 billion on border security and $60 billion in aid to Ukraine, He declared that he was wearing a tie and pin.
“I’m wearing a Ukrainian tie and a Ukrainian pin, and I’m wearing them because we’re in dire straits right now to protect ourselves from the Russian onslaught,” he said. He spoke while addressing the nation about the border bill. To persuade Congress to pass it.
The United States has already spent at least $113 billion fighting the Ukraine war since Russia invaded the country in February 2022. But the Biden administration has said Congress’ authority to provide more aid to Ukraine has been exhausted and is asking Congress to pass another $60 billion.
In his speech, Biden argued:
The clock is ticking. Every week and month that passes without new aid for Ukraine means fewer shells, fewer air defense systems, fewer means to protect Ukraine from the Russian onslaught. This is exactly what President Putin wants. Ukrainians are fighting bravely.
He said that supporting the bill was “standing up to President Putin” and opposing the bill was “doing whatever Putin had to say.”
Mr. Biden argued that if President Putin is not stopped, he will invade other countries, and that “the cost to the United States and our allies and partners will increase.”
He sought to shame “MAGA Republicans” who opposed funding to Ukraine, saying they would “be held accountable” and “history will see.”
“The MAGA Republican position can be characterized by the following points: new york times Headline: “Trump in 1st place, Putin in 2nd place, America in 3rd place.” That doesn’t matter,” he said.
“It all comes down to the question of American power. And it all comes down to: Will America keep its promises? Will America move forward?” he said.
