Biden made the remarks throughout a speech urging Congress to go the invoice on Tuesday. The President offered the invoice as a border safety effort when in actuality, it’s a huge funding boondoggle for international nations.
Halfway by way of his speech, Biden touted the laws for offering “pressing funding for Ukraine.”
The invoice consists of $60.06 billion in extra help to Ukraine with a good portion coming within the type of weapons and army gear.

Biden Mocked For Ukraine Tie, Pin
Unsure about our readers, however I’m sufficiently old to recollect when the passage of funding for Ukraine was important as a result of they have been on the cusp of victory attributable to their counteroffensive in opposition to Russia.
Actually, any indication that Russia could also be popping out on prime within the struggle effort was described as “Putin speaking factors” within the media.
Biden himself mentioned roughly six months in the past that “there is no such thing as a chance of (Russian President Vladimir Putin) profitable the struggle in Ukraine. He’s already misplaced that struggle.”
Now, they’re in “dire straits,” and it’s not like the US has turned off the spigot of taxpayer cash. So the place is all of it going?
Perhaps that is the issue:
Proper-leaning personalities on social media ripped President Biden for his apparent pandering to Ukraine.
“Who’s Biden actually working for?” puzzled Ian Miles Cheong. “What concerning the onslaught of illegals on the border?”
Humorous it’s best to ask. This invoice supplies an awesome amount of cash to international international locations – $78+ billion – moderately than the U.S. border – $20 billion.
Of that $20 billion, how a lot do you suppose can be used to truly safe the border versus facilitating additional unlawful immigration or offering a path to amnesty?
“In case you wanted extra proof that Joe Biden and our lawmakers care extra about Ukraine than the US,” Trump advocate Laura Loomer wrote of the tie/pin ensemble.
Conservative radio host Wealthy Zeoli quipped, “Biden sporting his Ukraine tie which he acquired for being worker of the month in 2015.”
Wore His Little Professional-Ukraine Outfit In Kyiv
This isn’t the primary time President Biden has worn his Ukraine tie. He wore that nation’s colours throughout a shock go to to Kyiv virtually one yr in the past as we speak.
The Washington Submit described the scene.
Video later confirmed the president, sporting a darkish swimsuit and, in an obvious nod to the Ukrainian flag, a blue-and yellow striped tie, seated with (Ukraine President Volodymyr) Zelensky, who wore his traditional military-style apparel.
Apparently, that very same report exhibits Biden declaring Ukraine was on their method to victory within the struggle in opposition to Russia.
“When Putin launched his invasion almost one yr in the past, he thought Ukraine was weak and the West was divided. He thought he might outlast us,” Biden mentioned in an announcement after arriving to satisfy. “However he was useless flawed.”
Now it’s, “They want one other $60 billion or Putin will outlast us.”
Fox Enterprise host Charles Payne ripped Biden’s go to to Ukraine, yellow and blue tie and all, as “phony” attributable to air raid sirens going off whereas the 2 world leaders confirmed little or no concern.
“The one factor I didn’t like about President Biden’s go to was the air raid sirens.,” Payne mentioned. “That was essentially the most phony baloney stuff.”
As phony as an help package deal meant for Ukraine and Israel being offered as a ‘border safety’ invoice.
