WASHINGTON (AP) — Facing a likely roadblock from House Republicans on aid for Ukraine, President

said Wednesday he’s planning to give a major speech on the issue and suggested there may be “another means” to provide support for Kyiv if Congress continues to balk.

“I'm going to be announcing very shortly a major speech I’m going to make on this issue and why it’s critically important for the United States and our allies that we keep our commitment” to Ukraine, Biden told reporters after giving unrelated remarks at the White House.

White House officials declined to say when Biden planned to give his speech. The president did not elaborate on the alternate method he was looking at to get additional military aid to Ukraine in its ongoing war with Russia.

“There is another means by which we may be able to find funding, but I’m not going to get into that right now,” he said.

Aid for Ukraine has been a source of tension and uncertainty as several Republicans in the House have severe doubts or openly oppose additional funding to sustain the Ukrainian military.

What could he be referring to? He has a few slush funds around with a few hundred million, maybe a $billion, but this will not sustain Ukraine. They require 10s of $billions per quarter.

Covert operation authorized by the gang of 8?

Not legal, but could be done. It's been done before.

You mean, the continual circumvention of The Constitution? I have no doubts about that.

The nation would be better served if he were to have a major heart attack.

His plan is to liquidate all the assets from the Biden Mob along with the Pelosi and Shumer slush funds.

He’s violating the Constitution and needs to be kicked out of office.

Evil scum.

Money for weapons is what he cares about, not helping people.

I hope his speech is another Fuhrer background one. Such a great look for defending Ukie freedom and democracy. Black and red staging. Clenched fist podium pounding, shouting gibberish.

Is he going to use part of his 10% he’s been getting getting for decades?

Don't they arrest people for stealing?

And a cpap mark just under his nose, resembling a small mustache.

You can take it to the bank that his puppet masters plan to STEAL OR SKIM ‘OTHER-PEOPLE’S-MONEY’ from somewhere. Perhaps RUSSIAN money… perhaps some extralegal penalties or fees.

Could he re-route money going to the defense budget? That seems to be the most logical place to find that kind of money.

He won’t succeed with this. Far too many Americans already suspect that “funding Ukraine” has been a kickback operation from the start, and even more Americans come to believe every day that he’s a corrupt old geezer, and probably installed, not elected.

Joe, as Hunter Thompson wrote so often, has cashed his check.
