    Biden is the number on recipient of Israeli campaign contributions.

    Bothsidesarethesame is actually the case here. Bidens throwing the election in because he refuses to budge on his foreign policy positions. He’s a neocon. Its like people apologizing for Biden have forgotten the previous 20 years of US history.

    If Biden wants to be different, he actually has to be different.

      He has supported Ukraine, unlike the previous president who wanted to give the country to Russia. How much difference should there be?

        Ah yes, the apologists who insult that Biden needs to be supported blindly because the alternative is worse.

        This is your war too, right along with Biden.

          The alternative isn’t just worse, it could destroy American democracy, NATO and more. I don’t think you quite realize what’s at stake here.

            Bruh, what you don’t seem to be fucking noticing, is that the extant option is doing all of the above.

            Your blind support of Joe Biden is an endorsement of the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and signals approval of Israels widening of the conflict to include Iran and Syria.

            Yesterday Biden vetoed Palestinines recognition by the UN. Not Trump. Biden.

            Bid n is bad enough that Trump is a non factor at this point and you are arguing in favor of both genocide and a regional war in the middle east.

            Your the one who don’t seem to realize what’s at stake.

          My dude the training and arming of Ukraine by NATO started happening before Trump came into office.

          Trump tried blocking the Javelins in 2018. He wasn’t for it. He was convinced ultimately to follow longstanding US foreign policy that started before he got there.

          Yes he approved it. 1 scenario where he got out of the way. Neat.

          What’s his stance been since? And before?

              Let me get this straight.

              After the Republican Party, largely led by Trump, have stymied aid to Ukraine and generally been pro Russia.

              The motherfucker was for all intents and purposes outed as a Russian asset during congressional hearings.

              Now Trump makes a politically pragmatic statement (backed up by no action or calls for his party to turn and support Ukraine) and suddenly we’re supposed to think he’s on their side?

              Neuromancer you have got to be one of the dumbest motherfuckers to exist if you think you’re fooling anyone.

              As well, a condition was placed on the sale of the Javelin anti-tank missiles: They could only be stored in western Ukraine, away from the conflict, to be used as a deterrent.

              Yeah… okay, and threatened to withdraw support unless he helped him politically. Really lovely.

          According to Catherine Croft, who served as Ukraine director at the U.S. National Security Council, Trump had viewed Ukraine as a corrupt country and believed it should pay for the weapons itself, Foreign Policy magazine reported in 2019.

          Then, in 2019, Trump ordered a freeze on a $400-million package of military assistance to Ukraine that had been approved by Congress. The freeze came days before Trump’s phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, where he pressured the Ukrainian leader to investigate Joe Biden, a presidential front-runner at the time, and his son Hunter Biden. It was this request that led to Trump’s first impeachment.

          The aid, though, was released on Sept. 11, only after a whistleblower’s complaint about Trump’s pressure on Ukraine had surfaced and a few days after Democrats in Congress opened the investigation.

          Hm. Really sounds like support there eh.

            The US governmenrment policy is ukraine is a corrupt country. That’s why Biden did what he did. Why Obama Wouldn’t sell weapons at all and why we’ve excluded many weapons to transfer.

            That wasn’t unique to the Trump administration.
