Biden to ask Congress for $33 billion in aid to Ukraine as war enters new phase

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Joe Biden on Thursday asked Congress for a $33 billion supplemental funding bill aimed at supporting Ukraine over the next several months as Russia's brutal and unrelenting war enters a new phase.

In another significant request, Biden outlined a proposal that would further pressure Russian oligarchs over the war in Ukraine, including using money from their seized assets to fund Ukraine's defense.

"The cost of this fight is not cheap, but caving to aggression is going to be more costly if we allow it to happen. We either back Ukrainian people as they defend their country, or we stand by as the Russians continue their atrocities in Ukraine," Biden said.

He added, "We need this bill to support Ukraine in this fight for freedom."

1. this war needs to be desperately contained.

but I fear, because if vlads insanity, it won't be.

I, sadly, see the war being escalated by russia's paranoia.

they started this bullshit, the world must end it.

2. Lots of good stuff in this. Another bill also streamlines forfeiture processes,

makes it a crime to possess illegal Russian funds, and uses forfeitures to help Ukraine, etc. Also enables forfeiture of property Russians use to evade sanctions. Etc.

3. The US and other nations

need to soberly assess if we can truly spend our way out of this.
