An increasing number of Americans want Joe Biden to encourage Israel to stop military actions in Gaza; and Mr. Biden’s handling of the situation is now down to its lowest levels yet.
In the poll, conducted before Iran’s drone and missile attack on Israel, there wasn’t much clamor among the U.S. public for U.S. military action against Iran, were Iran to strike Israel. More would instead have the U.S. support Israel’s next actions.
There’s no equivalent existing funds or contracts and Republicans keep blocking it because Trump wants to help his buddy Putin in exchange for favors
Apparently Biden can just do it without Congress though.
Sales, not donations, specifically
They already added Ukraine to the lend lease list, Biden could let them use the credit card.
They did, and ran out of credit
The entire point there is not having a limit.
And then the legislation expired because Republicans wouldn’t approve an extension
That’s hilarious that they put a sunset on it but we can still send them stuff. Hell, FDR literally dropped planes at the border and let the Canadians pull them over. The president could literally have the Air Force leave artillery shells at a Polish base with a note, “addressed to whomever happens to be fighting Russians right now.” When asked, he just points out that we leave shit behind all the time.
It’s part of the yearly government budget, they legally can’t make it permanent unless they create a separate law giving for example DOD a fund to use for it, and they didn’t get any approval for such a permanent fund.
I do think Biden should try more, but he’s far too used with slow pace backroom negotiations (which is pretty much my biggest issue with him)
