    Bullshit.

    I mean, it should be true.

    But Biden doesn’t have that balls or the backing. He might have sold himself as “the Senate whisper” during the primary, but as soon as he won the election he started saying he can’t do anything to influence anyone else.

    Even if he wanted to do the right thing, he doesn’t have the political juice to actually do it by his own admission.

      I think he’s talking more about public support eroding, which will cause members of the house to have a harder and harder time justifying sending military aid to their constituents, rather than direct consequences he plans to implement.
