Ukraine aid passed 311-112.
OVERWHELMING support.
ITS A PARTY IN THE USA.
ITS A PARTY IN THE USA.
Send More Artillery!
Trump made this politically feasible. He introduced the “it’s a loan” gambit, supported Johnson as Speaker, and then emphasized that Ukrainian Survival and Strength is important to the USA.
Had he not stood up next to Johnson at Mar A Lago on 12 April, Moscow Marge probably would have thrown the House into disarray with a motion to vacate before the bill was introduced. Trump brought her to heel.
135mm DPICMs reporting for duty next week.
President Trump expertly blew up Biden’s long sought plan to cut aid, force Ukraine to surrender and blame the GOP for it. Dems are desperate for Putin to broker a new Trump policy busting Iran deal but can’t do that while Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a hot war.
I expect now that the aid is a done deal that Trump will toss some rhetorical red meat to the Putin fan club to keep them on side. He still wants their votes in November.
The bill also requires Biden to send Long Range ATACMS, or submit justification to congress on why we can't send them. Again, putting Biden on the spot. Would not be surprised if that was Trump's idea too.

Probably so. Still, it's entertaining to watch people dancing around the fact that Trump pretty much forced this bill onto Biden's desk. They are angry, but can't bring themselves to criticize Trump. It's kind of like when Tucker was attacking everyone BUT Trump when we killed Soleimani, even as Trump took full credit.
Stop killing Ukrainians.
You are Satan.
Stop eating babies.
“Trump made this politically feasible. He introduced the “it’s a loan” gambit, supported Johnson as Speaker, and then emphasized that Ukrainian Survival and Strength is important to the USA.”
I am disappointed in Trump’s lack of support for Ukraine overall, but your statement above is correct.
Keep up the good work on FR!!!
You are a peace/piece of Heaven.
Evil shall be defeated in Ukraine.
Indicted War Criminal Little Pukin has brought death and destruction on RuZZia. They are getting what they deserve.
Trump hasn’t been supporting Biden policy. He was quite supportive of Ukraine and anti Putinist Russia as POTUS. In the end, of course, what matters is policy and not rhetoric.
‘Send every plane that will fly’. Send in the advisors.
I hope patriots are protecting the embassy.
“The U.S. is considering sending additional military advisers to the embassy in Kyiv, the latest show of American commitment to Ukraine as Russia appears to be gaining momentum in the two-year conflict.
The advisers would not be in a combat role, but rather would advise and support the Ukrainian government and military, according to Pentagon spokesperson Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder.”

Make it so Number 1.
“The new contingent will also help the Ukrainian military with weapons maintenance, according to one of the U.S. officials and the person familiar.”
“It was not clear how many additional U.S. troops would ultimately be sent to Ukraine, but two of the U.S. officials said the number would be up to 60.”
“goods from the Pentagon’s stockpiles in Germany to be shipped quickly by rail to the Ukrainian border”
“DPICMs reporting for duty next week.”
In this conflict, that is the equivalent of the Cavalry riding to the rescue.
