US President Joe Biden addressed the American people Thursday night from the Oval Office, as he spoke about conflicts in Ukraine and Israel. 


While warning that 'chaos will spread,' the president pleaded with Congress to pass what's expected to be $100 billion in new funding, which is already being met with resistance by Congressional Republicans, wary of giving any new money to Ukraine. 


In his 15-minute address, Biden said Russian President Vladimir Putin and the terror group Hamas, are responsible for the bloody October 7 attack on Israel 'represent different threats' but share a common goal.


They both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy,' he said. 


Biden warned that if bad actors like Putin are left unchecked 'would-be aggressors around the world would be emboldened to try the same.' 


'The risk of conflict and chaos could spread in other parts of the world, in the Indo-Pacific, in the Middle East, especially in the Middle East.' 


He then noted another common thread between Ukraine and Israel: Iran.   


'Iran is supporting Russia in Ukraine and it's supporting Hamas and other terrorist groups in the region,' Biden said. 'And we will continue to hold them accountable, I might add.'


He continued, 'American leadership is what holds the world together.' 


'American alliances are what keep us – America – safe. American values are what make us a partner that other nations want to work with,' he said. 


'To put all that at risk if we walk away from Ukraine, we turn our backs on Israel – it's just not worth it.'


The president laid out that Putin's 'appetite for power and control' means he won't 'limit himself to Ukraine,' which could spill into a conflict where NATO countries are involved. 


If that happens, Biden warned, 'we'll have something that we do not seek.'


'We do not seek to have American troops fighting in Russia, or fighting against Russia,' he said. 

 

The president made other pledges too - telling family members of the hostages abducted by Hamas in Israel during the October 7 terror attack that 'we're pursuing every avenue to bring their loved ones.

Communication Gaps Linked to Rising Relationship Conflicts

By
Is trust more important than communication in a relationship? Relationship experts share insights on what truly sustains love, emotional security, and long-term commitment. In a time when relationships are increasingly shaped by social media, instant messaging, and shifting expectations, a long-standing debate has resurfaced: What truly matters most in a relationship — trust or communication?

By

PayPal has officially confirmed a serious data breach. Not a rumor. Not a third-party leak. A confirmed, company-admitted breach that left your Social Security number, date of birth, email address, phone number, and home or business address exposed to unauthorized strangers for nearly six full months. And for some users? It went further than exposure. Money was actually stolen. What Happened — The Full Story Behind the PayPal Breach This didn't happen because a hacker deployed some Hollywood-style cyberattack.
