A year into the conflict in Ukraine, both Biden's message and the reception it gets in Congress has changed, reflecting domestic politics and the drawn-out nature of the conflict itself. It had been only six days since Russia invaded Ukraine when Biden made his way to Capitol Hill for the speech, castigating Putin at length."He badly miscalculated," Biden said."He thought he could roll into Ukraine and the world would roll over. Instead, he met a wall of strength he never imagined."

I'm just wondering how many people we are willing to kill over this failure of diplomacy.

Another endless war!

Support must not waver. Putin's murderous assault must be stopped.

Ukraine is a front to launder money for the Big Guy and the coruptacrats of DC.

Because we support drafting trans women as men and a ban on abortion after 12 weeks ?

Ugh. Biden is obviously doing a horrible job.

That’s because we are $$Billions in the hole in money and equipment and the war is escalating. People are suffering but the money laundering goes on

a shame that brown/Blk ppl countries which have been invaded by the US don’t get this same support in times of crisis

We gave them $100 billion and now they want more. Nope

Let’s hope it’s not yesterday’s news. StandWithUkraine️

Americans are tired of the scam so they didn’t talk about it

Well, it's over a 100 Billion dollars later too...

What Biden promised in last year's State of the Union: Report cardWhen Pres. Biden delivers his second State of the Union, he'll no doubt tout a list of what he considers his greatest accomplishments. But that raises the question: What did he promise last year, and was he able to achieve what he laid out? You mean LIES What accomplishments? You mean like 9% inflation? 7% interest rates? $5.50 gas? Absolute arrogance and incompetence? Some accomplishments. I am wondering if McCarthy will rip up his speech ala Pelosi to Trump?
