Many across the political spectrum are viewing Biden’s latest support for Ukraine as an escalation.
On Wednesday, President Biden announced he would be sending 31 Abrams Tanks to Ukraine to help Zelenskyy fight back against Putin; a reversal of the administration’s initial stance in which it said the tanks wouldn’t be that helpful.
“This is about freedom, freedom for Ukraine, freedom everywhere,” Biden said.
From NBC News:
The president’s reversal on tanks caught some military officials by surprise, and it marked the second time in a month that such a dynamic has played out between the White House and the Defense Department over Ukraine aid, said three people familiar with the matter.
Former President and 2024 candidate Donald Trump strongly disagreed with Biden’s decision; he shared his opinion on TRUTH Social on Thursday.
“FIRST COME THE TANKS, THEN COME THE NUKES. Get this crazy war ended, NOW. So easy to do!” Trump said.
Trump warned back in September that this conflict could trigger World War III.
“President Putin of Russia is now threatening the use of Nuclear Weapons, saying “It is not a bluff.” The Ukrainian conflict should never have happened, and would not have happened if I were President. But as I have made very clear for quite some time, this could now end up being World War III.”
