I thought this was supposed to happen tomorrow, but I guess Chuck said "Fuck it. We vote now."
They're voting now because Russia is making a huge push now and Ukraine needs help
The legislation would also send $26 billion in wartime assistance to Israel and humanitarian relief to citizens of Gaza
I'm sorry what? You're going to feed the ashes of the remains of Palestinian children after Israel has cleared them out? How fucking kind.
Thanks Pelosi for taking a stand on this...oh wait...you voted for the bill?
It's called a compromise. Republicans get aid for Israel. Democrats get 3x the aid amount for Ukraine. No way Republicans pass Ukraine aid without Israel aid. That's how the world works.
Anyone under 30 has never known how it's supposed to work. Thanks, Newt Gingrich you royally fucked over the American people in your quest to be relevant, you fat fucking asshole.
Stop acting like democrats don't overwhelming support giving money to Israel.
Its almost like the world's governments have different information than what tik tok told you. How fucking weird, right?
I respect the No votes (unless they object to the Ukraine part, then they can get fucked). But Ukraine's issue is existential and 100% defensive against one of the greatest threats to America.
The rest is a mixed bag between aiding Gaza to funding Israel. TikTok is a whole other issue. But Ukraine needs this desperately.
100% agree. If Russia wins in Ukraine, the Baltic states will fall, as will Moldova. This will also encourage China to invade Taiwan.
Stopping Russia is in the best interest of the entirety of the “West”.
Being bipartisan with fascists isn't a good thing.
No it isn't, I agree. Are we at a place where we can afford to continue denying Ukraine on principles though? I hate the Israeli regime, and tiktok is fucking stupid, but if Ukraine falls, that will not be the end.
Ukraine already fell with the 2014 maiden coup. To pretend it hasn't is to ignore history and everything that's happened since.
