McConnell predicts US aid will flow to Ukraine ‘for a good deal longer
The Hill ^ | 05/09/2023 | ALEXANDER BOLTON

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) says U.S. military and economic aid will continue to flow into Ukraine despite calls from some in his party for the United States to pull back from the war.

The future of U.S. support for Ukraine in its war against Russia has been clouded by some uncertainty since Republicans took control of the House in last year’s midterm election and Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) pledged there would be no “blank check” for Ukraine if Republicans gained the lower chamber.

No, you smell Biden regime lies. How much money have the Bidens suck out of Ukraine? How much has Soros?

It’s clearly blackmail now and how the heck does Treasury just funnel money to Zelensky without a congressional vote?

The question is, “Who wins in all this?”

Answer: Xi. He gets a much weakened Russia, with who China shares the longest border, he gets a US that is militarily depleted and a US public that is tired of never-ending wars and he will take Taiwan without much trouble..................

That weasel Mitt Romney is knee-deep in Ukraine connections too. What I don’t understand is why they even try to hide it because Merrick Garland isn’t going to prosecute any of these thieves.

By an unusual circumstance, I wound up in a very small town in northern Missouri the last two days. Not too far from the Iowa border. You can’t imagine how poor people in town are, the jobs, and the signs of poverty all around. People just getting by. Go to the restaurant, the store, and people just seem down,. They even have slavery again. The Smithfield plant needed workers and imported a bunch of them from Nigeria for cheap labor. It dawned on me, a large agricultural business needed in expensive workers, and imported them fresh from Africa.

But money for Ukraine flows like water from a pipe.

"Xi. He gets a much weakened Russia, with who China shares the longest border, he gets a US that is militarily depleted and a US public that is tired of never-ending wars and he will take Taiwan without much trouble."

Frank Gaffney has mentioned that a bunch of military age Chinese males have been coming up through the Darien Gap with identical kits. What is happening this Thursday?

It seems overused, but the phrase "plan accordingly" comes to mind.

I had an inconcievable thought cross my mind listening to Gaffney: if the balloons go up re: China, and indeed those Chinese coming through our southern border are here to make trouble inside the United States when hostilities occur, would our military not only be given orders to stand down, but actually ordered to act in concert to subjugate the people of the United States?

Russia needs to bleed more. They are disgusting. The good ones need to come forward. They may be too scared and the country may very well need someone willing to kill their opponents just to be stable.

What does the Ukraine do for us? It gives us a backdoor way to help do the bleeding. Germany was worse but they’re with the program now, just like Japan. These ethnic differences are not equal and there is no negotiation over what power ethnic Russians have in countries outside Russia.

Look at how the Brits left their colonies behind-one conflict after another. We only need to know that Putin would be smart enough not to go nuclear. Would Europe collectively deal with it? Not a chance. Between the Euro and Sweden/Finland joining perhaps they all want to be on the same page. Russia is like America’s poor: they’re left behind and don’t want to move forward.

US aid will flow to Ukraine ‘for as long as Zelenskyy has the evidence on the POTUS

Right, its why the West supports Ukraine. Not that Putin broke numerous treaties in invading neighboring Ukraine in Europe, unleashing massive misery, death and destruction, but that Zelensky has "evidence". Okay

Forty-Two Countries Have Provided Military Aid to Ukraine Countries providing military aid to Ukraine as of January 2023

We’re cashing the checks because and we’re letting him write the checks. Sadly.

Another 20 years, if Afghanistan is any guide - and after the 20 years are up, we can expect that all of the military equipment we send to Ukraine over the decades will be turned over to people who hate us.

While crime is spreading like cancer, people can’t pay their bills, and kids are being targeted for mutilation.

This man is evil.

Time to finish the job President Reagan started

Is it true you play bass in a Reagan tribute band in Kiev?

"McConnell predicts US aid will flow to Ukraine ‘for a good deal longer"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).

All Democratic and Republican patriots who support Trump need to "reset" the unconstitutionally big state and federal governments by primarying ALL incumbent state and federal government leaders in 2024 elections since they have all shown that they're not willing to stand up to condemn unconstitutional government policies imo.

In fact, while I support Trump, regular readers of Free Republic can probably do a better job of endorsing MAGA candidates for office than Trump can.

The definition of insanity is reelecting your beloved career lawmakers and governors over and over again, expecting different results every time.
