There is a plot to force/entice Republican House members to resign to give Democrats a majority in the House to oust Johnson and torpedo Trumps election.
It's working and the Republican majority is effectively nil.
With such a slim majority every power broker, drama queen, grand stander and saboteur is empowered to break the system.
It's an election year and Ukraine funding is a hot button issue.
Due to Biden Administration malfeasance, the Biden proxy war has reached a critical point and the Ukraine is on the brink of military and economic collapse.
Absent another round of US funding the Ukraine will collapse in the very near term.
Johnson is faced with wars in Ukraine and the Middle East and a China that is actively working to exploit these conflicts to allow it to further it's military ambitions in Asia.
The Ukraine is one of the most strategically important countries in the world and it's collapse will have serious world wide repercussions.
Johnson was presented with two options
- Block funding to Ukraine and allow it to collapse
- Pass a Ukraine/ Taiwan/Israel/ Hamas funding bill on terms favorable to Democrats and unpopular to his conservative base.
He had very little choice but to opt for the latter because allowing Ukraine to collapse would be an unrecoverable, irreversible disaster.
The funding for Ukraine allows the Biden Admin and Congressional Democrats to continue their disastrous policy of unceasing death and destruction in Ukraine, followed by inevitable defeat, or worse - direct US /NATO military intervention with Russia.
It does, however, give the Ukraine the ability to hold out in hopes of a Trump win and a Trump Administration committed to peace agreement to end the conflict in Ukraine.
America is going to be given a very stark contrast between a Trump Presidency and Biden Presidency and one of the biggest contrasts is going to be foreign policy and how we deal with the proxy war in Ukraine.
I'm not happy with what Johnson has done, but the fact is the other option was the near term collapse of Ukraine resulting in the military defeat of Ukraine which would be a disaster for the entire world.
Don't see how the Speaker had any other option.
What about the collapse of America with the millions of invaders coming through our unprotected southern borders? Who is going to stand for America’s future?
