DEMOCRATS IN THE House of Representatives are planning to expedite a massive bill that would dramatically increase U.S. security assistance to Ukraine and lay the groundwork for substantial new sanctions on Russia — hastening a war-friendly posture without opportunity for dissent as concerns over a military invasion abound.

Those who think Congress won’t fund an Ukrainian insurgency are whistling in the dark.

It will be a bipartisan super majority vote.

And, of course, in order to manage all that money and keep the good relations between the two countries stable, EOOOL funding is needed for cooperation agencies and think tanks ...
