The US House has continued to remain without a speaker since Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was ousted last week, which has delayed voting on funds to support Israel and Ukraine and avoid a government shutdown.

US Needs Bold New Leadership Amid ‘Perfect Storm’ of Crises
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The US needs stronger and more capable leadership in both the White House and Congress to address multiple crises the nation and the world are facing, including the war between Israel and Hamas, the conflict in Ukraine, and the threat of a government shutdown, experts told Sputnik.
The US House has continued to remain without a speaker since Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was ousted last week, which has delayed voting on funds to support Israel and Ukraine and avoid a government shutdown. Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden has made an alarming number of public gaffes in recent days and weeks, raising concerns whether the leader will be able to effectively handle an increasing number of crises.
"The nation is facing a crises perfect storm, internationally and domestically," former US Army Lt. Colonel and international consultant Earl Rasmussen told Sputnik.
"We are faced with potential ever escalating crises around the globe from Ukraine-Russia and growing divisions within Europe to instability throughout Africa, increasing tensions and a pending conflict with China to the most recent reigniting of the Middle East."

American University in Moscow President Edward Lozansky further remarked that Biden might well try to escape his enormous litany of catastrophic and discredited policies by gambling even more dangerously by escalating war in Ukraine.
"Overwhelmed by his long list of domestic and foreign problems, bribery accusations, as well as declining health and ratings, he’s seeking to change the subject by hyping the war in Ukraine that might escalate into nuclear World War III," Lozansky told Sputnik.
