What will Biden sacrifice to pass Ukrainian aid through the budget? Healthcare? Education? Social support? Clean energy? Semiconductors? Space exploration? The prevailing position in Washington is that China is the greater threat to American hegemony, so how much is Biden willing to cut to fight a war against Russia?

He's lacking power in the House and Republicans will gladly extract concessions out of him leading up to the next election.

I mean the Republican Party acts in benefit of Russia at every opportunity. They’re gonna ramp up the faux news propaganda, vilify ukraine using ork rhetoric that their brain dead supporters fall for, and make it a wedge issue in 2024. Guaranteed.

Ah yes, stop worrying that the government is investing in a proxy war while the country is falling apart.
