Weapons for Ukraine

Biden was too cognitively impaired to run for reelection, but now he is fit enough to attack the world’s largest nuclear power before leaving office. Joe Biden is on vacation, but somehow is managing to send $1.25 billion in weapons to Ukraine before Donald Trump takes over. https://t.co/BOmrD73JbA
