Biden: Terrorists, dictators must 'pay a price'
President Biden said during his Thursday address to the nation that terrorists and dictators must "pay a price" for their terror and aggression.
"You know, history has taught us that when terrorists don't pay a price for their terror, when dictators don't pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos and death and more destruction. They keep going, and the cost and the threats to America and the world keep rising," Biden said from the Oval Office.
"So if we don't stop Putin's appetite for power and control of Ukraine, he won't limit himself just to the Ukraine," he added.
He went on to tout NATO's peacekeeping success across Europe following World War II.
In his speech Biden also called for Israel not to "be blinded by rage" in its response to the Hamas attacks, and said he would send an urgent funding package to Congress in support of it and Ukraine
President Biden cautioned Israel not to "be blinded by rage" in its military response to the brutal attacks by Hamas terrorists that took place on Oct. 7.
In his Thursday address to the nation, Biden implored Israel to learn from America's "mistakes" following 9/11.
"When I was in Israel yesterday, I said when Americans experienced the hell of 9/11 we felt enraged as well. While we sought, and got justice we made mistakes. So, I caution the government of Israel not to be blinded by rage," he said.
And here in America, let us not forget who we are. We reject all forms, all forms of hate, whether against Muslims, Jews or anyone. That’s what great nations do, and we are a great nation," he added
