- The House passed a more than $60 billion bill that provides more military aid to Ukraine.
- It’s part of a larger foreign aid package that’s likely to pass the Senate and be signed into law.
- 112 Republicans voted it against — the most ever, and a majority of the GOP conference.
…
Saturday’s vote marked the first time the House had approved billions of dollars in Ukraine aid since December 2022, when Democrats still controlled the chamber.
In the two years since Russia’s invasion, opposition to aiding Ukraine has grown from a fringe position to a majority view among House GOP lawmakers. Many argue the money should be spent domestically or that policy changes at the US-Mexico border should take precedence.
Here are the 112 House Republicans who voted against the bill.
I agree with these 112 morons. We shouldn’t send aid to Ukraine.
The aid is in the form of outdated, surplus military equipment that was scheduled to be replaced anyways. The alternative is paying a company to dispose of them. So why don’t you want to send this aid to Ukraine where it can be used? The only people that should have any problem with this are those who are busy sucking Putin’s knob.
A lot of that equipment would’ve just gone back for rework and upgrades. Just because they’re old doesn’t mean they don’t work. That narrative was intended to force the US to by new more expensive hardware instead of repairing what we already have. Now that the old stuff is shipped out there’s a demand for new builds.
We will only give Ukraine just enough to prolong the war as long as possible. This war means trillions of dollars in sales if it goes on long enough. I bet the US can stretch it up to ten years if they play the same right. And all the while, Ukraine will be bombed to shit, waiting for the US mega corporations to make more money on the reconstruction efforts. They just need to make sure Putin stays in power or the whole scheme falls apart.
So your idea is to let Russia steamroll Ukraine in which Ukraine will still be bombed to shit? Yeah you’re a fucking bootlicker.
The only people that should have any problem with this are those who are busy sucking Putin’s knob.
I would like to point out that russia is fine with this war otherwise they wouldn’t have started it. Politicians and government use wars as a tool to get more power and enrich themself which is pretty much what is happening right now too
Russia isn’t necessarily fine with it just because they started it. After all, they seized Crimea back in 2014 and got away with it without a fight. Russia also made a push to capture Ukraine’s government in a matter of days at the start, which they wouldn’t have done if they didn’t think there was a chance of it succeeding. It’s very possible that Russia expected this to be over quickly and based its decision on that expectation
Exactly what a Russian bot would say.
But you also like to push Chinese interests, don’t you?
He already is winning. Look at a map of controlled areas by Russia vs ukraine. Watch analysis by Scott Ritter and John mersheimer.
Actually I’d prefer analysis based in reality, not some far right fantasy.
Putin thought he would take Ukraine in a matter of days. It’s been years.
The ruble has been hit hard by all the sanctions. The Russian economy has been weakened to divert funds to a war inept Russia can’t even finish. Russia’s infrastructure and money-producing assets like their oil refineries and rail yards are being attacked by Ukrainians as well as partisans within Russia.
Are Russians killing a lot of Ukrainians? Sure, but they’ve made a laughable amount of progress in Ukraine over the years. Look at the Black Sea fleet numbers. Ultimately Putin is fucking over Russia for a war he can’t finish.
Your post history shows you are intelligent and articulate. I feel that, geopolitically, that is a self-destructive act for our country over time. Why do you feel it’s a bad idea?
