Mr. Biden: There is no higher priority for me than the safety of Americans held hostage.
Mr. Biden: Thousands and thousands of Ukrainian children forceably taken into Russia, stolen from their parents. It's sick.
Mr. Biden:History has taught us that when terrorists don't pay a price for their terror, when dictators don't pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos and death, and more destruction.
Mr. Biden: If we don't stop Putin's appetite for power and control in Ukraine, he won't limit himself just to Ukraine.
Mr. Biden: If we walk away and let Putin erase Ukraine's independence, would-be aggressors around the world will be emboldened to try the same.
Mr. Biden: I know many of you in the muslem-American community, arab-American community, Palestinian-American community, and so many others, are outraged…saying to yourselves, 'Here we go again', with Islamophobia, and the stress we saw after 9/11.

To the people who are today fighting for the same things we fought for two hundred and fifty years ago. Freedom, independence, self-determination. [it is an insult to compare Ukraine with America in any way]

Biden Ties Israel to Ukraine in Oval Office Address from White House Bathed in Red Light Breitbart Middle East, by Nick Gilbertson Posted By: Imright, 10/19/2023 9:17:10 PM Joe Biden attempted to tie the terrorist attacks in Israel to the Russia-Ukraine War during his pitch from the Oval Office to send aid to both countries as the White House was bathed in red light. Two minutes into his remarks, Biden pivoted from speaking about Hamas’s terrorist attacks that murdered more than 1,300 in Israel several weeks ago to “the brutality inflicted on the people of Ukraine.” “You know, the assault on Israel echoes nearly 20 months of war, tragedy, and brutality inflicted on the people of Ukraine, people that were very badly hurt since Putin launched his all-out invasion,” he said. “We have not forgotten the mass graves,

@POTUS
When fear and suspicion, anger and rage run hard, we have to work harder than ever to hold on to the values that make us who we are.
We must renounce violence and vitriol, and see each other not as enemies, but as fellow Americans.
