WASHINGTON (AP) — A deal to provide further U.S. assistance to Ukraine by year-end appears to be increasingly out of reach for President Joe Biden. The impasse is deepening in Congress despite dire warnings from the White House about the consequences of inaction as Republicans insist on pairing the aid with changes to America's immigration and border policies.
After the Democratic president said this past week he was willing to “make significant compromises on the border,” Republicans quickly revived demands that they had earlier set aside, hardening their positions and attempting to shift the negotiations to the right, according to a person familiar with the talks who was not authorized to publicly discuss them and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The latest proposal, from the lead GOP negotiator, Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., came during a meeting with a core group of senators before they left Washington on Thursday afternoon. It could force the White House to consider ideas that many Democrats will seriously oppose, throwing new obstacles in the difficult negotiations.
Biden is facing the prospect of a cornerstone of his foreign policy — repelling Russian President Vladimir Putin from overtaking Ukraine — crumbling as U.S. support for funding the war wanes, especially among Republicans. The White House says a failure to approve more aid by year's end could have catastrophic consequences for Ukraine and its ability to fight.

Debate about foreign policy is one thing. A site overrun by blatant anti American pro Globohomo propagsndists is another.
If this is the best NeoCons can offer, it’s over.
I wouldn’t be so sure of that. It’s easy to mistake actual avid support across the US for the UKR money sinkhole being real if you just look at the stuff posted here relentlessly by a very few people.
In my daily life, I don’t hear anybody talking about how we need to be saving Ukraine, frankly.
Our debt is at 33 trillion, and as predicted by me and others, interest on the debt now exceeds the defense budget. We'll be at 40 trillion in a couple of years, and the interest on the debt will be twice the defense budget.
Neither party has the ability to rein in federal spending, they're going to grift for all they're worth until we hit that fiscal wall.
I propose we do nothing about it. Until the Democrats are forced to act on the issue. So we'll kick the can down the road.
” Neither party has the ability to rein in federal spending, they’re going to grift for all they’re worth until we hit that fiscal wall. “
They are all like the corrupt executives of a failing corporation who are doing asset stripping and value extraction before the true financial condition is exposed.

Get it right, you Putin propagandist!
Here is a picture, suitable for framing, of The Ghost warming up his mighty aeroplane on his way to killing Hitler V. Putin! All Glory To the Ghost!
