Biden: I Don’t Think a Lot of People Are Asking How Long We Can Keep Spending Billions on Ukraine
Breitbart ^ | 02/24/2023 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 02/24/2023 5:22:12 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

During a portion of an interview aired on Friday’s edition of ABC’s “World News Tonight,” President Joe Biden said he’s “not sure how many are asking” how long we can continue to spend money on Ukraine at the current rate and we’re in a position where the cost of walking away from the conflict “could be considerably higher than the cost of helping Ukraine maintain its independence.”

Host David Muir asked, “[H]ow does this war end and what does victory look like?”

Biden responded, “Well, that depends on what the Ukrainians decide. But here’s what we have to do in the meantime: We have to put the Ukrainians in a position where they can make advances this spring and summer and move to a place where a negotiated — they can negotiate from a position of strength. And — but that expression you’ve heard me use before and others, nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine. We’re not going to dictate to them what the end result is.”

CFW raises hands because she has questions she wants to ask.

Such as, “Exactly how long CAN we afford to keep spending billions on Ukraine?”

I don’t think you think Joey. I am sure Joe has the same disease many have anymore. Believing his own government lies.

Joe is living in a bubble in the basement of the White House. He only knows what his bosses let him in on.

He’s the most ignorant president ever, and the worst president ever. Heck, he’s not the president to begin with; he only has the title which was stolen for him.

Russia and Ukraine can fight till nobody is left as long as we aren’t involved or paying for Ukraine’s weaponry and rotten government.

Or we could start laying off Americans who are busy working to ship American LNG to Europe. Once Ukraine has surrendered and Europe is back on Russian gas they will have no need for American LNG. So those good American jobs we be gone. But at least we will have Made Russia Great Again.

”…We have to put the Ukrainians in a position where they can make advances this spring and summer and move to a place where a negotiated — they can negotiate from a position of strength…”

In other words, keep dragging it out because the money is rolling in for the Biden Bunch.

Why would they. It's not like the gop hold the line on spending. R's and D's hate America, and want to bankrupt it.

No trade with Russia or China until the Ukraine and Taiwan issues are resolved.

Some just can’t see that the window for Ukraine to negotiate peace from a position of strength ended quite a while ago. Damn shame they didn’t take it. So many people did not need to die.

Lyin’ sack of shee-it Joe a couple days apart:
1. “Every house in America has a Ukrainian flag out front.
2. “Nobody in America is concerned about how much money we are sending to Ukraine.”
