🇺🇲 Biden himself provoked Republicans into tougher demands on Ukraine and caused a split in the ranks of Democrats. And now military support for Ukraine “hangs by a thread,” writes the New York Times.
The newspaper recalls that in November the president sent his request to Congress for assistance to Ukraine and Israel. There, as a “sweetener,” he offered to finance border strengthening in order to gain Republican support.
However, this step “led Biden to a dead end,” the publication writes.
"By bringing the issue to the table, he has spurred demands from the right for sweeping changes to border policy, leaving his own party divided over an issue that many Democrats see as a political vulnerability ahead of 2024," the article said. .
Moreover, Biden signaled this week that he is open to further negotiations with Senate Republicans. And now he must "immerse himself in negotiations on an issue on which there has been no bipartisan compromise for decades."
"He will have to decide how far to go to give in to conservative demands and significantly reduce the number of migrants allowed into the United States," the newspaper writes.
According to the newspaper's sources, the White House is ready to make it somewhat more difficult to obtain asylum in the United States. But Republicans say that's not enough. They demand more stringent measures.
“In the current deadlock, the essence of Biden’s foreign policy – support for the war in Ukraine – hangs by a thread,” the publication concludes.

Demographically Serbia is performing very well by European standards. Serbian TFR was likely above 1.65 in 2022 and births in Jan-February 2023 are down only 1% on last years numbers. If this keeps up Serbia’s TFR may end up ~1.7 for 2023. Huge turnaround (TFR sub 1.5 in 2018). Also this is far higher than Albania TFR (~1.2) & that of the federation of BiH (~1.14).
