Am I misreading this? A turtle has a spine???
You took the question right off my keyboard. I really want to know the backstory to this! 😉
Hope it's true without backroom shenanigans.
How can Ukraine survive for forty five days without its heroin dose of US cash?
Lol.
IMO you’re misreading it when you suggest that McConnell might deserve praise. The Ukraine aid was a relatively minor point. Turtle went along with a House bill that has no spending cuts, no border control provisions, and none of the specific things that the Freedom Caucus sought (I think there were provisions about abortion and other issues that were excluded from this “compromise” bill). No wonder almost all the Democrats in the House, and all of them in the Senate, voted Aye.
And Ukraine aid can still be considered separately.
Ukraine seems to be a topic that generates unusual division on FR. I’m in the pro-Ukraine camp. Putin wants to rebuild the Russian Empire, a plan that includes conquering several of our NATO allies. Ukraine is just the first step and the first place to stop him.
It’s between senate Dems and house pubs anyhow
