Contrary to House Republican hopes, the status quo regarding the border remains. Without positive movement towards securing the border, the Senate bill does not appear to have a chance in the House. Joe Biden warned House Republicans that history is watching. On a related note, Joe Biden also said that he would defend every square inch of NATO territory if the Russians attacked.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>From NPR:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In remarks Tuesday afternoon, President Biden called on House Republicans to immediately hold a vote on the bill, saying, &#8220;failure to support Ukraine in this critical moment will never be forgotten.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For Republicans in Congress who think they can oppose funding for Ukraine and not be held accountable, history is watching,&#8221; Biden said in an address at the White House.<\/p>\n<p>Biden also directly referred to recent remarks from Trump, who said during a campaign rally this weekend that he would not defend NATO allies against attacks from Russia if those allies do not meet his definition of paying enough money for defense.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we don&#8217;t pay and we&#8217;re attacked by Russia, will you protect us?&#8221; Trump recalled another country&#8217;s leader asking while him while he was president. &#8220;No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Biden called those remarks &#8220;dangerous&#8221; and &#8220;un-American.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For Trump, principles never matter. Everything is transactional. He doesn&#8217;t understand that the sacred commitment we&#8217;ve given works for us as well,&#8221; Biden said.<\/p>\n<p>Biden promised not to walk away from America&#8217;s allies.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For as long as I&#8217;m president, if Putin attacks a NATO ally, the United States will defend every inch of NATO territory,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Biden closed by asking if Republicans will stand with America or stand with Trump, and called on them to stand for democracy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>NPR has additional information <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2024\/02\/13\/1231036049\/senate-advances-military-aid-to-ukraine-israel-and-taiwan\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Senate approved a foreign aid bill that would provide military aid to Israel, Ukraine, &hellip; <a title=\"Senate approves bill that provides military aid to foreign countries, but falls short on US border security\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=153190\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Senate approves bill that provides military aid to foreign countries, but falls short on US border security<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[422,20,466,84,640],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-153190","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-border","category-illegal-immigrants","category-israel","category-military-issues","category-ukraine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=153190"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153190\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=153190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=153190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=153190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
