The requirement of all this money to be sent elsewhere was money to close the border. Not money to fund whatever comes through the border.

The House is too evenly divided to rely on it to stop anything at this point. 9 GOP votes are required in the Senate to do cloture. As long as the thinking is per the above para, and remains that, nothing is going to proceed.

As for the desperation of Ukraine and the need for money, their need is for troops, and NATO is not going to take that step. As was clear from day one, they cannot endure attrition. The troop total difference is too great. And Russia only mobilized 300K of its millions of Reservists. March is coming (election day) and after that, more mobilized.

Money isn’t going to fix that.
