President Biden is confident the United States can continue with ongoing military support and financial aid to Ukraine and Israel in their war efforts.

President Biden has dismissed concerns that the United States doesn’t have the resources to support both Ukraine in its war with Russia, and Israel in its freshly sparked conflict with the terrorist organization Hamas.

In an Oct. 15ย interviewย on CBS’s “60 Minutes” news program, the president relayed he was confident in the United States’ ability to continue with ongoing military support and financial aid to both countries.

“We’re the United States of America for God’s sake, the most powerful nation in the historyโ€”not in the world, in the history of the world,” President Biden said.

“We can take care of both of these and still maintain our overall international defense,” he added.

The Biden administration has already moved military assets closer to Israel, and sent munitions and interceptors for its Iron Dome defense system.

The first supply of U.S. armamentsย arrived in Israelย on Oct. 10, “including ammunition and interceptors to replenish Iron Dome,” President Biden said, following the deadly attack by Hamas that prompted Israel to also declare war for the first time since 1973.

On the other hand, Ukraine has received billions in military and financial aid since the start of Russia’s invasion in February 2022.

However, unlike in Ukraine, Israeli forces are being supported by a growing deployment of United States warships in the region in deterrence posturing directed at Iran and its proxies in the region.

The United States in July also decided to send controversial cluster bombs to Ukraine after months of requests from Kyiv for further assistance with its war effort against Russia. President Bidenย explainedย his decision to reporters at the time, saying, “Weโ€™ve run out of ammunition,” referring toย medium-caliber 155 mm artillery ammunitions.

Not just the United States, but Ukraineโ€™s European allies have also expressed that they are running low on 155 mm munitions, having been depleting their stockpiles in support of Ukraine’s defense.
