Summary
Many faults can be found with President’s Biden leadership, both in the lead-up to the war in Ukraine and in supporting Ukraine’s self-defense. Congress has failed to address many of the Administration’s misdeeds and missteps. Poor leadership from the White House and fiscally compromised and irresponsible execution of U.S. support for Ukraine exacerbates all these failures. A stable and secure Europe is in America’s interest, and contributions to Ukrainian self-defense make sense. Haphazard, ill-considered, and profligate policies do not. Americans want to assist Ukraine in defending its sovereignty, while ensuring full accountability from Congress for U.S. taxpayer dollars spent.
