The United States can support both Ukraine and Israel. The country has the means and obligations to do so, states American President Joe Biden.
"We have the capacity to do this and we have an obligation to, we are the essential nation," said Biden, paraphrasing a famous quote by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
Biden noted that the United States is the most powerful nation in the history of the world.
When asked if the United States can wage both wars simultaneously, Biden stated that the country is indeed capable of providing support to both nations at the same time.
"We can take care of both of these and still maintain our overall international defense. And if we don't, who does?" the President emphasized.
