After a year and a half of war, Ukraine’s leaders now have a new reason to worry: Mounting political chaos in America is threatening to derail their supply of money and weapons.
Days after lawmakers shelved a vital U.S. plan to send billions of dollars in aid to Kyiv, U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was ousted by his own Republican Party colleagues. Aid to Ukraine was named as one of the reasons.
In Kyiv, officials are at a loss as to what might happen next. Their staunchest military ally suddenly looks unreliable, despite assurances from President Biden and others the U.S. will remain steadfast until Ukraine’s invaders are defeated.
“We are freaking out. For us it is a disaster,” said Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze, a senior Ukrainian MP who chairs the committee on the country’s integration with the European Union.

Every Russian tank destroyed, every missile shot down is one less than the Russian/Chicom alliance has to use against Taiwan or against us.
We have interests in Poland, Germany, Turkey and the Baltics and if Ukraine is conquered, those countries will cower before the Russians and their Chinese communist allies fundamentally altering the balance of power. Not sure why we would want that.
Slush fund indeed. Great description. I’m stealing it.
We should have thought more about the consequences of provoking a Russian invasion before we engineered the 2014 coup, installed a government of our choosing, allowed Ukrainian Nazis to inflict still ongoing terror on Russian speakers in Eastern Ukraine, encouraged non-adherence to the Minsk agreements, and failed to address diplomatically Russian concerns about a future NATO member on such a critical location along their border.
I guess if you don’t have enemies you have to make them. We’re doing an excellent job on that score. Practice makes perfect, I guess.
When it’s all over, I favor erecting a statue honoring John McCain for his glorious legacy. Oh yeah, it’s never going to end, says Joe. Never mind then.

Who believes that U.S politicians have not received kickbacks from this Ukrainian aid? Many who know about this pretend there are no kickbacks and the rest are just incurably stupid.
No Good Guys in this conflict. Cash and corruption with civilians in the middle, and pawns at the front lines on both sides.
I don’t think there are any Russians
And there ain’t no Yanks
Just corporate criminals
Playing with tanks

They’re getting used to sugar Daddy USA showering them with assets and cash. They’re not quite done looting the American tax payers.
I think they’re hoping for a complete financial collapse in the U.S. We’re broke, bankrupt and all these people can think of is giving billions more away to foreign governments.
👍👍👍👍👍
Joke’s on w. That jewelry hasn’t been paid for yet. Probably won’t be until our grandkids are living in poverty.
The domino theory is dead. It was NATO that is still trying to expand. Russia doen’t want to takeover any of the EU. With the USA choaking the EU to death on energy prices, Russia has already resumed selling cheap energy to the EU via India, Turkey, etc. Russia will take their money.
When you decide to dance with the Bear, the Bear decides when you stop dancing. The six shooter dance has been updated;)
The globalists all agree that all this money is necessary because if Russia holds in Ukraine, next they will invade Poland or something. If it's that important to pay Ukraine pensions, why doesn't Europe chip in?
Yeah, a version of the old Domino Theory that was used to get us involved in Vietnam.
Surrender? The Ukes didn’t surrender to Uniparty, DC, they were sold out. The Obama/Soros clique turned Ukraine into a corrupt (the most corrupt in the world) US satrapy in 2014. The satrapy was on full parade when Trump turned over the rock the DC oligarchs were divvying up Ukraine under. Those oligarchs who impeached Trump for trying to get the Uniparty cabal out of Ukraine are the very same ones running this unprovoked globalist proxy war. If you’re a corrupt, woke Uniparty operative, protecting the satrapy, even while wasting hundreds of billions and recklessly risking WWIII, is your paramount duty.
Nah, there will still be a yookraine. But it will be a little land locked city state centered around Kiow and its suburbs. Similar to Lichtenstein.
