McConnell warns passing Ukraine spending bill will be ‘a challenge’
The Hill ^ | 06/07/2023 | ALEXANDER BOLTON

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) warned on Wednesday that passing a bill later this year to provide more money for the Defense Department and military aid to Ukraine will be “a challenge,” despite a pledge Senate leaders made last week to defense hawks.

Asked at a press conference how he could assure the passage of an emergency Ukraine and defense supplemental spending bill over the objections of House conservatives, McConnell acknowledged it faces an uncertain path forward. “All I can tell you at this particular point is defense is radically underfunded related to the Chinese threat and Ukraine will probably need additional assistance so figuring out how to do this is going to be a challenge,” he said.

Let’s hope Zelensky, the clown, did not read this.

Otherwise, it will be another dam to bomb and another offensive to lose.

Ukraine is the wrong war, at the wrong place, at the wrong time, in support of the wrong people, and is a diversion from the real confrontation to come in the South China Sea.

The United States cannot fight a two-front war, neither our economy nor our military are up to the task. It is not certain the US could at the moment fight even a single-front war with a rival as determined as China, which is a far more ruthless opponent than even ISIS or the Taliban, and they are already kicking our teeth in.

Wait until the Americans living shitty lives catch on.

It’s not in their social media feeds, but it’s coming.

Meanwhile the US border is wide open, the US military is infested with globalists and perverts and hundreds of political prisoners rot in the DC gulag.

McConnell is trash.

That’s some silly, hyperbolic shit right there.

Nobody in China’s military has fought a even a medium sized battle since Viet Nam kicked their ass in 1979. They have nice uniforms and shiny toys just like Saturday morning cartoons.

But there is no evidence whatsoever that their sh!t works or that they can fight.

More theater for the masses........McConnel will say he never worked so hard and in the end all they will do is print more money and further dilute the dollar.
