Political reality. Biden will tell Ukraine to negotiate a deal after Russia upcoming goodwill gesture in Kherson. Expect a lame duck funding bill for Ukraine passed in December that MIGHT fund an additional year of support. But like McCarthy says, the blank checks will be over next year.

While "Ukraine is important," GOP concerns about the border and other domestic policies also carry weight, McCarthy added.

WOW, who bought McCarthy a clue here?

Deep state operatives sunk this countries future by working to oust Trump because they cared more about a cushy job then actually doing work for us.

My take. Completely blind to real ground realities of our own nation.

Fortunately Congress has already appropriated $52 billion of which only $17 billion has been sent.

So the pipeline is already in place for the next 18 months.

No appeasement. The war ends when Russia withdraws from all Ukrainian territory or is pushed out.

And if I have to vote against Republicans to make sure Ukraine is supported, I’ll consider doing so.

Could have saved many thousands of lives, avoided the movement of millions of refugees, and saved many billions of dollars by just staying out of that war, which would have ended quickly with much less damage and death and global disruption without our “help”.

Steaming pile of RINO excrement, it is not important. We have zero national interests there.

Keep tip-toeing to a rational response to this ginned-up conflict Kevin and you will accomplish nothing.

Admit this conflict does not involve US Interests, was ginned up to hide the Corruption of the Bidens, Romneys, Pelosi’s, and others.

Admit it was done to hide evidence of that Corruption and Evidence of the Disease Labs in the Ukraine.

Admit it was done to hide evidence of tampering in the US election of 2020.

Admit it was started because the US pushed the Russians too far with respect to NATO Membership for Ukraine, Shelling of the Donbass, reneging on the agreements for the Donbas to be semi-autonomous, etc.

Admit these things, quit your tip-toeing, and be a Man, and Kevin, you might start to be effective as a Leader.

Kevin McCarthy Mar 2, 2022

“Vladimir Putin has invaded a sovereign nation and terrorized its civilians. His aggression will not stop with Ukraine. The gravity of this moment calls for Congress to speak with one voice. Today, the House voted overwhelmingly to support stronger sanctions against Russia, immediate and more military aid to Ukraine, and energy independence for America. Now, the Biden administration must take immediate action to keep military aid flowing to Ukraine, displace Russian oil and gas, and regain global energy leadership.”

McCarthy, tenant and housemate of gay liberal pollster Frank Luntz, is simply trying to get out in front of any possible conservative opposition to him becoming Speaker.

"It's not a free blank check"

Any Republican who voted to send money to Ukraine without requiring that money being fully accounted for, should be tossed from office if they haven't already been eliminated during the primary season.

On the other hand, Joe could just ignore the teleprompter and tell the world that he has negotiated a truce between Russia and Ukraine, which will lead to world peace and a reduction in energy costs.

Then while he tries to convince Putin and the other guy to go along with the gag, "The White House" will be busy walking back whatever Joe says. (A normal Tuesday activity.)

That's Joe's October surprise. Everybody will be surprised.

McCarthy is reading the political reality; supporting Zelenskyy is deeply unpopular as is war with Russia.

Actually having a debate and not just sending a blank check is “withholding funds”? No wonder we’re in debt!

Kevin McCarthy signals Republicans could withhold more aid to Ukraine if they win the House: 'It's not a free blank check'

Ukraine has probably received more money than most states.

CORRECTION: Ukraine, Hunter and "The Big Guy" (aka the Biden Crime Syndicate) have received more money than most states.

Yep. A neighbor just returned from Poland told me at the border there is almost solid traffic coming from Ukraine but hardly any going in. I want an audit.
