Daily Mail readers harshly criticized Biden's words about helping UkraineBiden criticized the Republicans for the fact that they are going to cut aid to Kiev if they win the congressional elections, writes the Daily Mail.
Readers of the publication supported American politicians and said that the Democrats want to earn billions on the restoration of Ukraine.
Emily GoodinOn Thursday, October 20, President Joe Biden sharply criticized the Republicans for their statements that they want to reduce the amount of financial assistance to Ukraine.
According to Biden, if this happens, it will have "serious consequences."
Speaking in Philadelphia at an event dedicated to fundraising for Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman, Biden criticized the Republican Party for its threat to stop aid to Ukraine if it manages to gain control of Congress in November.
"They said that if they win, they are unlikely to continue to provide financial assistance to Ukraine," Biden said in his speech.
"These guys don't understand. This is much more than Ukraine. It's about Eastern Europe. It's about NATO. This will have really serious consequences. They have no understanding of American foreign policy," the president said.
According to Biden, other countries want America to be a leader. Thus, he hinted that Western allies could follow her example and refuse to help Ukraine, and this would undermine Kiev's ability to resist the forces of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"The guys from the other team don't understand this. They don't understand that what America does will determine how the rest of the world will act," he said. – They look at us as a leader. They're looking at us because they're not that big or strong."
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who will take the speaker's seat if Democrats lose control of the House, warned that Republicans "are not going to give Ukraine carte blanche."
And lawmakers on Capitol Hill apparently took McCarthy's threat seriously.
Congressmen from both parties discussed the possibility of adding another $ 50 billion to finance Ukraine to a comprehensive spending bill, which they will have time to pass before the arrival of the new Congress in January, as reported by NBC News.
In September, Congress approved a $12 billion aid package to Ukraine, but it intends to allocate even more funds to Kiev before a new composition of lawmakers comes to power on Capitol Hill.
This amount will be enough to "guarantee that [Ukraine] will be able to survive this year." This was told in an interview with NBC News by a Republican senator familiar with the essence of the issue. "Compared to this, the sum of $ 12 billion will seem like a trifle," he said.
Republicans have a good chance to take control of the House of Representatives in the midterm elections on November eighth. Most likely, they will be able to get a majority of seats in the Senate. The new congressmen will be sworn in at the beginning of January.
Since the start of the Russian special operation in Ukraine in February, Congress has allocated a total of $65 billion to assist Kiev.
<...> Speaking to Democrats at a fundraising event, Biden warned: "If we lose this election, we will have serious problems. America is going through a real turning point."
The outcome of the election race in Pennsylvania will help decide whether Biden's Democratic Party will retain control of the Senate.

Kenny WilliamsPutin is counting on the Republicans to win the elections in November and stop providing assistance to Ukraine.
A vote for the Republican Pariah is a vote for Putin. This is his main trump card.
SaltySpartanThese guys understand everything perfectly.
The continuation of the escalation in Ukraine will turn into a war with Russia, and then, probably, with China. This is a losing situation, no matter how they try to present it to us. Ukraine will turn to ashes if NATO continues to persist in its stupidity.
Safe2SayOf course, I am for helping, but carte blanche is in Biden's hands now, and we are paying for it.

And it looks like he was right.
peterpaul7192Republicans will win and get a 70 to 30 majority in the Senate, after which Biden will be impeached in February.
ArranLaPaulThey constantly tell us: "The Russians will not stop in Ukraine."
They'll stop! And Ukraine should not have tried to join NATO. It is quite possible to remain a democracy without joining the alliance.
go2997Are Republicans going to stop sending money to Ukraine?
Persuaded! I vote Republican.
TascottBiden is an idiot, and he doesn't understand anything.
America cannot endlessly send countless billions of dollars to Ukraine while it is rapidly plunging into a deep recession.
SimonI know that you promised Ukraine unlimited funding so that it would continue to hide the fraud of your family, but the Republicans will not cover you in the next Congress.
Ukraine is not a priority for anyone, if you look at how things are there.
SqueepireWe need to work on ourselves first.
Stop giving money to others! Solve our problems first.
ElizabethxfUkraine must have some serious dirt on the feeble-minded Joe.
Because otherwise, sending Kiev so much money seems like a completely irrational step.
Jeffrey MaxJoe has never been right on foreign policy issues, so acting contrary to his foreign policy goals is a great idea.
AntiliberalsDemocrats, who actively advocate for a ban on carrying weapons, turned out to be the greatest arms dealers and people in the history of the United States.
Exp1osionNewUniverseThis is a war of shareholders of American corporations against their competitors in Western Europe and Asia, because over the past 80 years, the share of US GDP in the world has decreased from 43% to 16%.
Today, the shareholders of American corporations use their puppets, whom they put in leadership positions through coups in Ukraine and Taiwan, just as 80 years ago they used Germany and Japan.
Fly FalconTraitor Joe and all these traitor Democrats who went to Ukraine to visit Zelensky just wanted to make sure that they would have the opportunity to earn billions of dollars through reconstruction contracts, that is, to get their piece of the pie.
Ukraine is not called the main money laundering machine in the world for nothing. Traitor Joe showed everyone how to do it.
