The House on Tuesday night voted 368-57 to pass nearly $40 billion in additional military, economic and humanitarian aid to Ukraine to fight against Russia's invasion.

If I was dictator tomorrow every last congressman NOT on this list would be deported and exiled to the Ukraine.
Ukraine is a mess and has been since gaining independence in 1990. https://everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/ukraine
Our pols have helped make and keep it a mess. Two revolutions there were practice for what we’re going through. One was called the Orange Revolution. I think our color revolution should be called The Purple Revolution since all the #RESIST people(like hillary) wore purple right after Trump won 2016.
Why?
I am hoping that both sides wipe each other out on the battlefield, and it has nothing to do with us.
To paraphrase von Bismarck - "The Ukraine isn't worth the life of one American soldier or the spending of one American dollar."
Why do they have these votes in the middle of the night? Afraid of the light of day might been shown on these billions of your tax dollars.
thank you
I know many people have contacted their representatives to let them know they are unhappy with those who voted for this. Most people are worried about inflation. I don’t know how many reps are listening to us.
ALL Republicans that voted for this need to go in November...there is NO excuse.
Same here. My rep has only been in for a couple of terms but slid right into the swamp quite quickly. There’s a libertarian running as repub that I’ll be voting for. Probably doesn’t stand a chance but oh well.
Exactly...you’ll never see Ukraine sending US $40 billion to protect OUR border.
Some Republican congressman was just on FNC saying we need to send “special advisors” into Ukraine to help defeat the Russians. And to setup a “humanitarian corridor” to get help to Odessa.
America Last.
Yes. And at least those are Americans. What happens there effects me.
and then there's Unfunded Liabilities. Might as well loot while the looting's good
Like Vietnam, we are being suckered in with scope creep.
It's comments like these that make me wonder what's happening to this site of late, or has covid cause that much damage to Americans' ability of critical thinking.
P.S. to bert: This is not to insult you personally, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person noticing a troubling pattern on FR since this whole Ukraine mess started.
Didn’t we just do this a month ago??? Middle of night vote, $$$$ to Ukraine...
Why?
Because the Deep State needed more of our hard-earned tax dollars to launder so they could turn around and use it to squash the criticism of conservative patriotic Americans.
My…..what a little tyrant you are.
You don’t get to tell me what is relevant.
$40 billion for Ukraine but we told $3.5 billion was too much for a border wall.
Sure would be nice if they broke out what Ukraine is getting for our $40 billion. The lack of accountability in DC is out of control.
Heck, why not make it $100 billion?
