House Speaker Mike Johnson has the fate of a democracy and a people in his hands.
It’s not the United States, which will survive – even if the coming general election results in another existential test for the constitutional system.
The country Johnson has the power to save is Ukraine, two years after Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded, decreeing that it didn’t have the right to exist.
Ukraine’s soldiers – trapped in a World War I-style hellscape of trench warfare – are running out of bullets. There are signs that Russia may be about to break a stalemate and tip the war its way.
Johnson, a backbencher who was the last-ditch choice to lead the mutinous House GOP majority last year, could relieve Ukraine’s agony and help ensure its survival as an independent nation in the coming days. He could allow a vote on a bill that includes $60 billion in aid that the Pentagon says is needed to allow Kyiv to continue to effectively fight. It would likely pass with a comfortable bipartisan majority.
The Louisiana Republican’s reluctance to do so is a commentary on the growing power of GOP front-runner Donald Trump, the sharp turn of his party away from its globalist pro-democracy heritage and perhaps even his own ambition since borrowing Democratic votes to finance Ukraine’s defense could cost him the speakership.

Complete BS!
House Speaker Mike Johnson has the fate of a democracy and a people in his hands
A “democracy” that doesn’t vote, bans the opposition party and journalism. Hell, nevermind a Republic, Ukraine isn’t even a democracy.
Dilema? Not really. A simple F NO! would suffice.
Yes, just say no. Just like Nancy Reagan would tell “Say no to Drugs”.
Ukraine has lost. Johnson can approve funding and Ukraine will be 90% destroyed, or he can not, and a lot more of it can survive.
“...are running out of bullets...”
And Ukraine is about out of live bodies for the Russkies to kill too. More billions to Ukraine will only get more people killed and money to kick back to our politicians, not sure why many people out there don’t see this.
Every Ukrainian and white Slav is expendable to the NeoCons.
They delight in dead Slavs.
A “democracy” that was intricately involved with the Democrat party and deep state actors attempting to overthrow a duly elected president of the United States. No more aid until they give up the people they were acting with to destroy America.
“since borrowing Democratic votes to finance Ukraine’s defense could cost him the speakership”
It would most certainly cost him the position, and the Republicans the House.
Certain.

They delight in dead Slavs.
Biden is facing a defining dilemma. Close the border, or else.
Close the border and balance the budget.
The Ukraine just banned elections!
The ones who think that Ukrainians are expendable are the ones who would sacrifice them to Russian domination. The Ukrainians are the ones who are choosing to fight for their independence and we should support them.
She is right about the Globalist GOP heritage, that is what we are driving out of the party, and looked, that message resonates with black and Hispanic men.
Not Jornalism.. of course they forgot what is. All editorials these days.
The CIA does not treat its Ukrainian slaves gently. In fact, the CIA has totally anal-raped the Ukraine.
Easy. For every 1 million illegals you deport, we will give Ukraine $1 Billion. Get a move on.
