    Ukraine isn’t the one who wagered for war. Biden is saying this is the price of instigating the fight, ignoring the very complicated and nuanced history. I don’t agree with him at all but he’ssaying Palestinians punched first and that’s what they get, which yeah doesn’t apply to Ukraine at all.

      Palestine wasn’t the one who wagered for war. It was Hamas. Unless Hamas is now Palestine, and nobody told me?

      So…Yea. Awkward.

        Do I look like Biden lol, go argue with him. He’s the one who says Hamas and Palestine are the same. I also am not aware if he told you or not.

          I’m not arguing my dude. It’s called responding ;)

          I see what I see from his comments, which is ; Innocent Muslim/brown people being killed is the price of war meanwhile innocent Ukrainian/white people being killed is a tragedy and international war crime that must be answered for.

          I really don’t expect anything else from a US president on this issue. This is coming from a white westerner, as well. I just hate the hypocrisy of it all.
