Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) is stepping up his pressure on Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to put the Senate-passed foreign aid bill up for a vote in the House, warning Wednesday that “starving” Ukraine of military support is “strategic and moral malpractice.”
McConnell told a radio host in Louisville recently that despite plans to retire from Senate leadership, he intends to stay in the Senate through the end of his term in 2027 in order to fight back “against the isolationist movement in my own party.”
On Wednesday, he did that by taking shots at President Biden for not providing military support to Ukraine more quickly and at members of the Republican Party who are now holding up $60 billion in aid for Ukraine.
“Starving Ukraine of needed capabilities wasn’t a smart way for the Biden administration to avoid escalation, and neither is it a political master stroke by some of the administration’s Republican opponents. It is strategic and moral malpractice. It risks condemning Ukraine and undermining our own national interest,” McConnell said on the Senate floor.
McConnell has repeatedly called on Johnson to bring the Senate-passed $95 billion aid package up for a vote. The Senate passed the bill Feb. 13, almost two months ago.
The Senate bill also includes military aid for Israel and security assistance to the Indo-Pacific to deter growing Chinese aggression.
The Senate GOP leader recently warned that House Republican plans to turn aid for Ukraine into a loan program or to authorize the seizure of Russian assets to pay for the reconstruction of Ukraine could delay the aid package for weeks longer.

It can never be said too often that McConnell sucks.
Perceptive and right.
Speaking of strategic malpractice, isn’t Glitch McConnell in the pocket of the Chicoms?
Zelenski has cancelled all elections,

Shortly, he becomes an illegitimate President, much like our own senile Joe. Both are severely corrupt, morally debased, and belong in prison.
LOLOL
Mitch had his mind changed by his sister-in-law “driving” into a lake.
He won’t live that long he looks sick Jim.
Yep, that’s what I want to know as well. Must be something in it for him as much he is advocating for it.
“How much is he getting paid from funding Ukraine?”
A LOT, they all are. Both democrats and all the establishment republicans. The New World Order globalists and the Military Industrial Complex are behind all the current wars around the world.
Russia is the only country left the NWO does not control and manipulate and they want it too. And the MIC cannot profit without several perpetual wars all the time.
