The heads of the State Department and Pentagon on Tuesday warned senators that should lawmakers approve funding for Israel but not Ukraine, Russian President Putin will win.
Speaking during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, Secretary of State Blinken and Defense Secretary Austin urged senators to keep intact the Biden administration’s $106 billion supplemental request for Israel, Ukraine and the Indo-Pacific.
Though many lawmakers in both parties support a joint package, House Republicans skeptical of additional Ukraine aid have threatened to sink the plan. And Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is pushing an Israel-only package that would also cut billions in funding for the Internal Revenue Service.
Austin and Blinken warned that without continued U.S. funding for Ukraine, Russian forces would be sure to defeat Kyiv, with wider consequences for the globe.
“It’s hard to put an exact timeline on how long it would take,” Austin said when asked how long until Russia wins should the U.S. fail to provide more aid to Kyiv. “I can guarantee that without our support, Putin will be successful … If we pull the rug out from under [Ukraine] now, Putin will only get stronger.”

It's not our business and we have no interests there.
No. The U.S. taxpayer will win.
The only people who have interests there are the politicians and the weapons manufacturers.
We are only pulling the rug out from under the corrupt kickbacks and bribes to Ukrainian and American politicians if we cut off money to Ukraine.
What goes unsaid here is these billions of dollars keep funding the entire corrupt bureaucracy of Ukraine. The Ukraine government has NO INCOME except from the USA.
Just how is that Mr Blinken and Mr Austin?
Why is that Putin will win if two separate bills are voted on? How is it that Russia always gets the better of you Biden regime clowns?
Ay, por favor-no esta mierda otra vez-that is just ridiculous...
No, no, no, no you don't do it that way. You put it in an Omnibus which passes with unanimous consent. THen the Senate amends it take out the stuff you cut that the democrats won't put up with and send it back and then you pass it by unanimous consent and we get all of this malarky done and over with and you can go on television and talk all you want about conservative agendas and no one will say boo about it.
Putin’s already won and it’s NOT our problem anyway.
GOOD!
They tell the truth, but they leave out the other half. That is Putin will win either way. Or rather Russia (even if Putin dies).
After the corrupt bureaucracy and connected contractors in DC take their cut off the top, which is the point of the exercise. Remember that the Russians are incompetent and can't fight a war and don't have any equipment that works so they are nothing to worry about and we just talk up a scare so we can fund the corruption.
““I can guarantee that without our support, Putin will be successful … If we pull the rug out from under [Ukraine] now, Putin will only get stronger.”
When the US stops funding the criminals and charlatans, Ukraine will shatter and collapse in 48hrs.
No, hw won’t. Russia won’t concor Ukraine, ever. SO TIRED OF THIS GRIFT!
Blah Blah Blah.
It’s a sad situation when you can’t believe a democrat because you know he’s being bribed, he knows he’s being bribed, and he doesn’t care.
Putin already won when Obama was elected, then again when Biden was. Had free reign to cause havoc and invade while those two communists just sent blankets.
Eff Ukraine. Not a dime. There never was and there still isn’t a single American interest in Ukraine. Anyone that supports Ukraine supports a kleptocracy and part of what they steal are American tax dollars.
That's okay, they'll figure out 10 more ways to bleed us dry and ruin us all except for themselves.
“Putin will win if Israel funding split from Ukraine, Blinken and Austin tell senators”
He speaks as if we should care.
Blinken dresses his kids in Ukraine Flag and as Mini-Zelensky for Halloween.
