George Will: House Republicans voted to endanger ‘civilization’ with Ukraine aid opposition

George Will, a conservative columnist for The Washington Post, went after House Republicans who recently voted against more aid to Ukraine in a Wednesday opinion piece in the Post.

In the opinion, highlighted by Mediaite, Will said the 112 Republicans House Republicans who voted against Ukraine aid “voted last Saturday to endanger civilization,” calling them “ignoble.”

“Hoping to enhance their political security in their mostly safe seats, and for the infantile satisfaction of populist naughtiness (insulting a mostly fictitious ‘establishment’), they voted to assure [Russian President Vladimir Putin’s] attempt to erase a European nation,” Will wrote in his column.

Opponents of more aid to Ukraine included far-right hard-liners such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who went after House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for his support of the bill, calling him a “traitor” after the lower chamber passed it.

“Johnson once again passed a bill with the help of Democrats while the majority of the Republican majority voted against it,” Greene said in a post on the social platform X. “Not only is Mike Johnson a traitor to our conference, he’s a traitor to our country.”

Will also questioned “how many” of the House Republicans who voted against Ukraine aid “know or care that more than half the $61 billion will fund restocking U.S. munitions inventories, as well as Ukraine’s purchases of U.S. weapons?”

President Biden signed a $95 billion emergency foreign aid package Wednesday that included aid for Ukraine and Israel in their ongoing wars. The president also took a swing at “MAGA Republicans” for the rocky path it has taken to send aid to Ukraine.

Ukraine’s complete and utter contempt for Americans is
evidenced by the changing stories we’re being spoon fed.

How ludicrous is this.......?
<><>Zelensky keeps telling us they’re “on the verge” of winning
<><>”if only” we’d give ‘em several more billions.
<><>Zelensky brags they’re really doing a job on bad ol’ Putin.....
<><>they’re impoverishing him, while “shooting down every Russian thing in sight”..........

But wait for the switcheroo, gang.......now “they say” by witholding our tax dollars, poor decrepit Russia w/ its badly depleted military is gonna “march in and takeover Europe, the Balkans, Poland....even all of NATO.”
W/ the threat that this will “demand” US boots on the ground.

Which is it nitwits? Make up your frickin’ minds.

This Ukraine funding deal also has a “loan” component
but it is not a “Loan” as honest people define “loans.”

Speaker Johnson’s Ukraine Foreign Aid Package is another contrived “no-repay loan” like Hunter Biden got from his sugar-daddy who, as a Biden donor, happened to have $60 million handily laying around (like most working class people do /s):
<><>the Ukraine “loan” allows Joe to “Forgive” 50% of the billions Nov 15, when Trump wins,
<><>or lets Biden forgive 100% of “the Loan” Later On (If he pulls off a 2nd election steal)

Rotflol......the billion dollar joke’s on us.....we been suckered again.

Zelensky knows that cunning routine. Its already been tried.

Few years back, billions more of our tax dollars to Israel
were handed out———designated as a do-good foreign aid “loan.”

But when it came time to pay up, Israel got its lobbies to manhandle Congress.

The battered, bruised Congress sap-happily passed a law
.........saving its collective political ***es.......
quickly turning the foreign aid “loan” billions into a “gift.”

Completely unforgivable is that Speaker Johnson placed US taxpayers in bed w/ the execrable Soros.

Eli Lake of The Atlantic reported the shocking fact that George Soros, the billionaire investor whose outspoken hostility to Israel and Zionism is no secret, is in fact one of the Israeli lobby, J Street’s, larger donors........ even though J Street has “denied,” time and time again, that Soros was a supporter.

The passage of Biden’s foreign aid funding bill made George Soros very happy. Clearly, this is another source of income for Soros, and his habit of financing leftism in the US govt.

J Street Lobby exhorts supporters——
“On Friday, October 20th, 2023, the Biden Administration sent a Supplemental Funding Request to the Congress that contains key priorities for the American Jewish community:
“Please urge your federal elected officials to take action by sending an email below or picking up the phone to call using the script at the end of this form. Your advocacy will help ensure Congress passes the Supplemental Budget Request, which includes the following:

<><>$14.3 Billion in Emergency assistance to Israel: This emergency assistance will bolster Israel’s ability to defend herself and replenish vital defense systems, including the Iron Dome and David’s Sling missile defense programs.

<><>Increased Funding for FEMA’s Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP): Jewish communities are in a state of elevated readiness and have already been forced to increase their security measure. FEMA’s Nonprofit “Security Grant Program” helps ensure the safety and security of Jewish and other faith-based community institutions. The increased funding included in Biden’s Supplemental Budget Request will help bolster our Jewish community’s capacity to protect itself at this challenging time.

<><>$61.4 Billion in Emergency Assistance to Ukraine: The J Street Lobby stands in solidarity with Ukraine and supports efforts to strengthen its democracy in the face of aggression. This funding will aid Ukraine’s efforts to safeguard its democracy and protect its citizens. Jewish Federations are actively engaged in supporting the Ukrainian people—including by resettling over 2,600 displaced Ukrainians across the United States—and we seek continued U.S. support for these critical efforts.”

Reference-——
J street Lobby Policy on the US-Israel Special Relationship
(with financial subsidies from George Soros).

“J Street believes that maintaining a strong, vibrant US-Israel relationship is a core American interest. We want to see a secure, thriving Israel that is a healthy democracy, a national home for the Jewish people and a state for all its citizens that embodies the shared values that have long formed the heart of the special relationship between our two countries. We believe that American diplomatic leadership has an important role to play in helping to make this vision a reality, as does cooperation in (financing) Israel’s security, economic, technological, academic and civil society spheres.”

WIKI——Confidential IRS documents obtained by The Washington Times in 2010 showed that George Soros had been a donor to J Street since 2008. The money from Soros and his family, together with donations from Hong Kong amounted to about 15% of J Street’s funding in its early years.

In previous statements and on its web site J Street had seemed to deny receiving support from foreign interests and from Soros.

J Street’s Jeremy Ben-Ami apologized for earlier “misleading” statements regarding the lobby’s funding from Soros. Ben-Ami also clarified that donors to 501(c)(4) organizations are promised confidentiality by law and challenged critics to make public the contributions from opposing organizations.
