Ukraine is ‘freaking out’ as McCarthy chaos threatens US aid
POLITICO ^ | Oct 4, 2023 | Veronika Melkozerova

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.

No way this story shows up in Politico unless they still thought they could win. This is about continued funding.

When they are ready to quit, it will be stories about how terrible it is and how China is about to invade Taiwan.

That’s about 2 months out.

Slovakia. Rocking new president.

No aid to Ukraine.

Condemns sanctions on Russia.

The tide has turned.

Gee, I wonder if peace is an option?

On the other hand maybe Zelenska thinks more Ukrainians need to die.

We absolutely know it’s trillions. The Demonrats really played themselves. They had a weak RINO Derper puppet as Speaker who gave them what they wanted (one rating placed him at just barely above 50% Conservative, which is close to being a left-winger). Now it stands that Jim Jordan, who has an over 90% Conservative rating from the same source, could replace him. Or, even more wildly, President Trump (the only downside to a Speaker Trump is that it would curtail his ability to be campaigning for next year in having to tend to House business).

Yup, the Demonrats may truly regret having assisted 8 heroic patriotic Republicans in getting rid of McCarthy.

The media reported the new Slovakian President ran on an anti-American (read: anti-Plugs the Pedo/Woke oligarchy/Big Sodomarchy) platform. They said that like it’s a bad thing.

They’re down to teenage girls and senior citizens as cannon fodder for the pervert. Now there’s no excuse for the FReeper globalist warmonger seniors not to get over to Kiev to die for their beloved idol.

I would have thought that Jeffries would look for 20 Democrats. The ones who may live in districts that are more moderate and in places like in the Midwest or in the South. Give them permission to vote for McCarthy so he survives.

Someone said that McCarthy made three big deals with Joe Biden and the Biden Administration got everything they wanted while the GOP got almost no concessions each time. And McCarthy had the support of nearly all RINOs. Only the Freedom Caucus was giving him a hard time.

Maybe Jeffries think that a government shutdown would work out for the Democrats because the Republicans will get all the blame. So they were happy to torpedo McCarthy.

Orban loves him.

They are like instant bff. Although I think they already knew each other fairly well.

Matt Gaetz played the Demonrat caucus like a violin. Sheer brilliance. Jeffries is going to regret that bigly. He f’d up as Demonrat leader, letting his RINO puppet McCarthy go down.

McCarthy and Mitch provided Joe everything and anything he wanted.

I have screenshots of articles where McCarthy is quoted as saying - they were including everything Joe asked for in the Deal to avoid a Shutdown.

Europe needs Orban clones running every nation. ;-D

(*If The Ukraine had had an Orban from the beginning, they’d have been one of the greatest nations in Europe today. Instead, they elect perverts who can play piano with their pecker. They got what they voted for, and now they can’t vote him out, since he’s officially dick-tator)

Lindsey Graham said McCarthy and Biden agreed to two large deals for Ukraine, one later in the year.

I think Lindsey regrets running his mouth, once again.

That was a great tactical move by Gaetz. I don't think Nancy Pelosi would have made that mistake if she was in charge. She knows politics.
