What are the other NATO allies doing other than holding our coats? There should be a bill before Congress that our NATO allies should be compensating us for the cost of the weapons, we are sending the Ukraine or we do not send them. They don’t have advanced weaponry to supply, so they can pay for ours. I am sick of their free riding, especially Germany. No blank check to Biden for the nature of the weapons he sends.
Bingo! We have a winner on aisle #30!
I do not support placing U.S. troops in the middle of a shootout between two cartels, however:
BJ Clinton concluded a 1994 agreement whereunder Ukraine would forfeit its nuclear weapons in return for U.S. security "assurances"; i.e. the U.S. drew a line in the sand and should not now walk away from it.
Even though the NATO allies were not party to the deal they benefitted greatly and should be reminded they have very real skin in the game. Germany argues the Memorandum is legally unenforceable; it should be reminded it is politically enforceable and the U.S. has its name on the deal.
Before we dismiss good R politicians, however, let's ask them what they see in the Biden package that renders it unacceptable.
