yeah its not like republicans tied ukraine aid to aid for israel or anything. /s
Huh?
The Biden administration once again bypasses Congress on an emergency weapons sale to Israel
this gets into a completely seperate thing. He could not give them it without congress but the US only very reluctantly restricts commerce. Its a very different thing to say im not going to fund your war and im not going to sell you stuff when dealing with a long time ally. And no you don't just throw away diplomatic relationships easily. If countries did they would have stopped having dealing with us in trumps first term.
Oh so you're telling me Biden had no choice. Ithe most powerful man in the world couldn't do anything but enable Israel and its genocide?
Oh that makes sense and doesn't fly in the face of reality at all. /s

It would not have been impossible but it would have been problematic. I mean he could send troops with the war powers act. Its possible but not really something he could realistically do.
Problematic to stop genocide? Reflect on what you just said, that's monstrous.
