Biden Should Be Honest With Ukraine

By: Robert Clarke， RealClearDefense — April 22nd 2024 at 15:26
The United States has overpromised support to Ukraine. President Biden and the White House have vowed that the flow of American money and arms to aid in the war effort will continue "for as long as it takes." As Americans continue to sour on further support, and Biden's $60 billion aid package is stalled in the U.S. House, that promise appears more and more impossible. Even House Speaker Mike Johnson's new attempt to move a $43 billion proposal faces harsh backlash from his fellow Republicans that threatens his continued speakership.
