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.

Wrong again.
Satellite images show bodies lay in Bucha for weeks, despite Russian claims.
And I’m sure they yanked babies out of incubators too, right?!?
Anything to get stupid Americans to borrow more money for someone else’s war!
“It was avoidable.”
It certainly was. No attempt was made to help negotiate a peaceful settlement.
I should tell you to quit being lazy and look it up yourself. You should be aware of these things if you take a stance on the issue.

Like South Viet Nam 1963.
Shit starts slowly and then escalates.
Natural progression for the war pigs
The Ukraine army has thousands of polish troops in it and they are probably being led by American and NATO country “advisors.” Zelskyites are too stupid to breath.
Putin was not interested in a "peaceful settlement."
Putin approves new foreign policy doctrine based on 'Russian World'
Yeah, just like Biden’s landslide. Z was picked, groomed, then he groomed the people on the TV, and was installed as president and you know it.
“No, Russia is putting Iranian drones and North Korean artillery into Russia.”
So the US is not putting weapons in Ukraine?
“ So the US is not putting weapons in Ukraine?”
Did I say that?

This article is from April 25, 2022. Almost a year ago!
“The defense secretary was asked how he defined “America’s goals for success” in Ukraine. He first said Washington wants to see “Ukraine remain a sovereign country, a democratic country, able to protect its sovereign territory.”
“Then, he said, the United States hopes Russia will be “weakened” by the war. “It has already lost a lot of military capability and a lot of its troops, quite frankly, and we want to see them not have the capability to very quickly reproduce that capability,” Austin said.”
I also want Ukraine to remain a sovereign country.
Shut up. You give tongue baths to the BUSH family in your profile... then type some neo BS on FR.
Or... “How to post like a douche.”
You couldn’t throw away enough U.S. dollars on foreign military ventures to make this lunkhead McCaul happy.
Perhaps you could want the same for your own country. While you are wasting your breath worrying over Ukraine’s sovereignty, Joey and his regime and our own critters in DC, have opened our border and are signing documents destroying ours.
The war started in February of last year. What difference does it make if the link is a year old because the same thing applies today as it did then? He did not retract it.
What a ridiculous excuse to ignore what is front of your face.
Maybe I will eventually see the day when all Freepers agree with me that it ain’t worth a single penny of U.S. taxpayer money to protect a nation whose leader plays the piano with his d!ck.
I want the border dealt with too.
I am not wasting my breath over Ukraine’s sovereignty, imo, however.
The biggest policy crime against America since we shipped all our jobs overseas.
Good morning! Ping to #25. VKs being requested for a good reason.
