The U.S. against the new 'Axis of Evil'

The US Congress has approved a $95 billion bill for "aid" to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. The Act was voted by a large bipartisan majority of Democrats and Republicans and provided $60.8 billion for Ukraine, $26.4 billion for Israel, and $8.1 billion for Taiwan in the Indo-Pacific region. The chairman of the Senate Armed Services, Republican Mike Rogers, said: “China, Russia, and Iran are working together in a new Axis of Evil to damage our alliances and undermine our national security.” 

President Biden, who immediately signed the Act, declared: “It's a good day for America, it's a good day for Europe and it's a good day for world peace. It will make America safer. It will make the world safer and continue America's leadership." He then added concerning Israel: “My commitment to Israel, I want to make it clear once again, is ironclad. Israel's security is paramount. I will always ensure that Israel has what it needs to defend itself from Iran and the terrorists it supports.”

This Act fuels wars and war preparations from Europe to the Middle East and East Asia against Russia, Iran, Palestine, China, and other countries, and further strengthens the US military. Of the 60 billion in "aid" to Ukraine, 48 billion finance the US Armed Forces: 23.2 billion dollars are intended to replenish US stockpiles of weapons used to arm Ukraine; $11.3 billion is earmarked for current U.S. military operations in the region; 13.8 billion dollars are intended for the purchase of advanced weapon systems, materials, and defence services. 

At the same time, the Act requires that US allies, including Italy, pay their “fair share” of the costs of war against the “new Axis of Evil.”
