House Foreign Affairs chairman says some members don’t understand what’s at stake in Ukraine

The Republican chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee sought Sunday to tamp down speculation that the new GOP majority will be less likely to fund aid to Ukraine in its war against Russia, though he did suggest some members of his party may need to be convinced about the need to continue US support.

“I think there’s enough support on both sides of the aisle. Majority in the Democratic Party, majority in the Republican,” Texas Rep. Michael McCaul told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union,” referring to aid to Ukraine. But he added, “We have to educate our members. I don’t think they quite understand what’s at stake.”

“If Ukraine falls, Chairman Xi in China’s going to invade Taiwan. It’s Russia, China. Iran is putting drones in Crimea, and North Korea that is putting artillery into Russia. They have to understand the case. And they talk about the border, not mutually exclusive at all. We can do both. We’re a great country. We can walk and chew gum at the same time,” McCaul said.

Before capturing the House speakership, Rep. Kevin McCarthy said in October that Republicans might pull back funding for Ukraine if they took the House majority. But after making those comments, the GOP leader worked behind the scenes to reassure national security leaders in his conference that he wasn’t planning to abandon Ukraine aid and was just calling for greater oversight of any federal dollars.

Propaganda eye candy for death perverts. You are sick. Perhaps the US can quit funding all this death and promote peace.

I remember seeing the same type of pictures from Vietnam in the mid 60’s.
Then again of the gassed Kurds in Iraq, and more in Afghanistan after a suicide bombing.

We and the EU are paying the people we installed as leader in Ukraine to use their own people to do the dying for our interest of “weakening Russia”. Lloyd Austin told us that.

That constantly requires a lot of money(or blackmail) plus 10% for the big guy, for such a noble cause as that. The poor suckers sent is as cannon fodder don’t know that they are going to be enslaved no matter who calls it a win.

“ Iran is putting drones in Crimea, and North Korea that is putting artillery into Russia.”

No, Russia is putting Iranian drones and North Korean artillery into Russia.

Lying,corrupt politicians sure make good teachers. After they leave office they can teach CRT in our schools.

"Yes, it is a prayer when I post it..."

I know that you do it as a prayer just like messianic nutjob would do. Get help because the Ukraine is neither a god and soon will not even be a country.

Give Biden time! He will need more and more distractions and NOTHING is more distracting to Americans than a politician convincing them that their sons and daughters should give their lives for someone else’s Civil War!

Zelensky was bombing and killing in the eastern regions of his own country LONG BEFORE Putin decided to step in. Let them kill each other - they BOTH SUCK!

Not to mention, we are BROKE! We can’t afford to FINANCE their damn civil war either!! Let them kill each other without our money!!

Can't stand the truth? This is what the Russians are doing to the Ukrainians.

Cold blooded murder.

Deep State controls Congress.

The scam won’t stop until Deep State decides its outlived its usefulness, or we restore the republic.
