Biden's Biggest Concern If Trump Secures the White House

President Joe Biden is urging the West to fork over more assistance for Ukraine in its ongoing war with Russia, fearing that a Trump victory would dry up the cash cow for the country.

During a meeting with European allies in Berlin, Biden claimed that Ukraine needs to keep up its support for Kyiv to “sustain our resolve.” Concerned that former President Donald Trump will take back the White House, Biden suggested that Ukraine needs all the assistance it can get before the U.S. stops cutting checks that do nothing more than fuel the war.

“As Ukraine faces a tough winter, we must — we must — sustain our resolve, our effort and our support,” Biden said. “And I know the cost is heavy. Make no mistake, it pales in comparison to the cost of living in the world where aggression prevails, where large states attack and bully smaller ones simply because they can.”

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz echoed Biden’s remarks, vowing to stand alongside Ukraine with its full support.

“We will stand beside Ukraine as long as it is necessary,” Scholz said, noting a planned €46 billion international loan package funded by interest on profits from frozen Russian assets.

Trump said that the U.S. would be more reluctant under his administration to continue supporting Ukraine, the country’s biggest military and financial backer. He also suggested conditions would be made for foreign governments to reap the benefits of the U.S. assets.

This comes as Democrat leadership worries that a Trump win would upset the forest relationships Biden has conjured and hoped to pass the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris.

Earlier this week, the Biden-Harris Administration announced additional security assistance to meet Ukraine's security and defense needs. The Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) package, estimated at $425 million, will provide Ukraine with air defense capabilities, air-to-ground weapons, munitions for rocket systems and artillery, armored vehicles, and anti-tank weapons.

Crazy Liz is the one to be worried.
Clearly she was a key person involved in the fake Dossier along with McConnell.
Turtle is the key. Put the screws to him and he will sing all day about the Deep State.

Biden’s biggest fear is that a Trump victory would dry up the cash cow for Ukraine. That and a bowel dump overwhelming his disposable briefs.

So, Biden’s biggest concern about a Trump victory is what it would do to Ukraine? Speaks volumes.

Gun grabbing Biden’s arms pkg, some $425M tax dollars, hands-over to Ukraine:
<><> air defense capabilities,
<><>air-to-ground weapons,
<><>munitions for rocket systems
<><>artillery,
<><>armored vehicles,
<><>and anti-tank weapons.

The same Biden tramples on Americans’ 2A rights, grabbing guns families need to protect themselves, while blanketing the Ukrainian shysters with weaponry.

This from the anti American leftist bums who handed Bagram airbase to the Chinese, and have tried to help Hamas defeat Israel.

F Biden. Ukraine will be far safer under Trump.

Yeah, right. And none of them were used by Ukraine for its advantage during the four years of the Trump presidency.

Biden was happy for Ukraine to cede some of its territory to Russia before Russia tried to take the whole enchilada.

When the Ukrainians showed they could and would resist effectively, is when the West started serious aid.

Trump is positioning himself to end the whole mess by creating an excuse for both Putin and Ukraine to say they won, thus both survive.

He only went over there to make sure Ukraine has put his share in secure accounts that can’t be traced. He won’t be able to make amy more trips.

Correct ... he’s worried about the host of whistleblowers that will be crawling out of the woodwork in an effort to insulate their own careers.

I think Trump will offer the Marshall Plan for Ukraine and weapons.

Putin will get a guarantee that Ukraine will never join NATO. And the occupied territories, that will be discussed in a future conference.

Biden worries more about Ukraine and foreigners than American citizens and the oath he took.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Zelenskyy has an account out there somewhere, with Joe’s name on it.... But subject to forfeiture if the cashflow stops.

It’s all about the DC criminals ability to continue looting the public purse.

This conflict would have never even occurred if Trump had still been in the White House.

It appears they are anticipating Trump would demand they start footing the bill for policing their very own backyard and are gearing up ahead of time.

And around 49.9% of the American voters still want his Dem successor Kamala to win.
