@beardalaxy @PapaPole Biden didn't announce a war or a draft, and just asked congress for $100B for Israel and Ukraine, which we already knew.
Why call an announcement at the Oval Office just to ask for money you've already asked for?
My hunch is that they WERE originally going to go farther, but after the announcement was already announced, whatever focus group data they received caused them to abandon the idea and play it safe instead.
