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.”

Awww, Potatohead wouldn’t get his 10% cut.
Critically More Importantly, The American Taxpayer and Every Legacy American Will WIN!
And GloboHomoNazi Uke War Criminals and Murderers Will Lose!
These guys are acting like 8yr olds with their first allowance.
They can’t wait to spend every penny as fast as they possibly can.
It’s because they’re stealing large amounts from it, isn’t it?
.
Where is the logic?
I say Ukraine will tip over if we spend them more gazillions.
Fight Bidenisms with Bidenisms
.
They can’t steal it fast enough.
How long will 60 billion last? Longer than the 100 billion? Is Ukraine 60 billion away from winning the war or are you going to be back in 3 months with more requests? Most people couldnt get a 300k mortgage with the nonsense non answers tha the administration gives and they want 200 billion? Anyone who coughs up the money is a foold and may be a traitor.
And if we keep funding Ukraine, when will they win?
No one can answer how long or how much more money.
OUR military is not receiving their full payment because we don’t have the money. W t F
Of all the Halloween characters in the universe, the Blinken children are used as Ukranian props. Note how Chief Perv Biden is homing in on the little girl.
Doubling down on a losing hand is insanity.
The failed proxy war in Ukraine is the biggest foreign policy blunder since Vietnam.
WTF is wrong with idiots.
Putin cannot be defeated it’s complete insanity to think otherwise
US taxpayers win also by reducing growth of Yuge Ugly high national debt, Which is not just a number. US Treasury paid out $875 BILLION in last 12 months on just the interest to service national debt. And that will be much higher next year due to rise in interest rates.
Holding Israeli aid hostage to Ukraine aid.
Not one cent for Dick Tator Zelensky.
I’m no Putin fan but all he ever wanted was for Ukraine not to threaten Russia’s borders with NATO missiles and that’s what Zelensky instigated through Biden and his Secretary of State Blinken. They pulled out of Afghanistan (where we should have never been) so they could funnel the trillions through corrupt Ukraine. If “Putin Wins” means U.S. saving billions and toppling the Zelensky Azov Nazis, in my opinion, that’s a great thing. A victory for the U.S. taxpayer. Then Russian can return the Churches and Monastery’s Zelensky stole from the true pious Russian speaking Ukrainians. Take that money, deport the illegals and build the wall. Jail those in congress who got rich from all this funneling.
Well, he will have difficulty in internally accounting from WHICH pile of money he and his crony MIC and deep-state thieves plunder. Math is HARD.
Yes, screw Ukraine.
BS. This emotional blackmail that the US must fund all wars worldwide has got to stop!
Other countries need to do a better job of both diplomacy and defense. The US is not their army.
