Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), in an exclusive interview with Sirius XM Breitbart News Daily on Tuesday, slammed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for the recent border bill “debacle,” saying that the leader did not even put on the negotiating table a provision to tie Ukraine aid to border metrics and that his “top priority” was Ukraine aid, not securing the border.

You are an European, not an American so, naturally, you couldn’t care less about the invasion of the US via our wide open Southern border. Your believe Americans should sacrifice our sovereignty for Europe and your “precious” Ukraine.
Screw Europe. Our border crisis is THE most important issue to real Americans. Ukraine is Europe’s problem, not ours.
If Ted Cruze or Ron Paul had been the Senate leader, we wouldn’t be in this mess. Why do se keep voting for and appointing traitors to high office?
I am very much in favor of you solving your southern border problem. It is destabilizing the US.
My only point contrary to your position, probably, is that this is a purely political problem, requiring little in the way of resources to “solve”. All it requires is a change of mind on the part of whomever is in charge of your executive branch (I do not assume that person is President Biden). That is it, its very simple, it can all be brought back to the status quo as of 2020, with a word.
You are frustrated by their stupid intransigence. But that is what it is.
Ukraine is not “precious” in itself, other than to the Ukrainians. It is however extremely important with reference to the global order, as it has been since 1945, or if you like since 1991. That is important to all 8 billion of us.
Many of you dont see the big picture because you are in a state of rage over matters closer to home. But there is more than one important and distressing problem the US should be dealing with, and looking at it emotionally doesnt help.
Use it as leverage. You want aid to Ukraine? OK. Then even go so far as to pass HR 2, and have Biden sign it into law. Then you get aid to Ukraine and everyone’s happy. As for Brandon’s pet border bill? Yitgadal vyitkadash (beginning of Jewish mourner prayer) on that. HR 2.
He’s dirty Jim

No they can’t.
Why not?
Democrats will never give way on the border, just for military aid for Ukraine.
They will run ads they tried to pass a "bi-partisan bill" to "fix" the border and Republicans killed it. If Ukraine collapses, the ensuing refugees will be blamed on Republicans for not supporting a weapons aid bill.
Well, duh...
Agreed. It is not inappropriate to use funding and action for border security as leverage for other funding Biden wants.
We are done with Ukraine. Americans do not care about Ukraine and want nothing to do with more funding.
Zeepers are not on the side of the American people.
We do not want the “global order” Got it? Now go post on some EU site and quit filthing up this one.
Who is “we”?
This is the most recent poll I’ve found.

I agree they don’t really GAGS about Ukraine. Had Zelensky not photographed well as a neo-Churchill, they wouldn’t have given anything. The aid that they did give is mostly fake. Tanks were publicly discussed for so long that the Russians took advantage of the delay and planted land minds all over the f#@$ing place. No big plane air support potentially meant that the Ukes couldn’t take out the artillery covering the mine fields, so any progress at all in a Uke counter-offensive became difficult. Fortunately, the Ukes are wizards with drones and they did get missiles, so they could keep Russia on the defensive. But this is not real help, so they’re crying crocodile tears over Ukraine aid. As for Israel, well, they hate Israel anyway. And as for Taiwan, they are probably secretly rooting for China, that pays all the juicy bribes and lets them play bang-bang with Fang Fang.
So HR 2 will remain stuck in the Senatorial mud, and Brandon’s fake border bill will get nowhere in the House, for damned good reason, but Brandon and the MSM will pretend like it’s a real remedy and put the blame on the Republicans for killing it.
On the plus side, Ukrainian refugees will probably be more peaceable and hard-working than the present rabble. So will the Moldavians, and refugees from whatever other eastern European countries Russia invades after putting paid to Ukraine.
It’s all part of the Great Reset, the opposite of Asimov’s Foundation. Science and psychic development triumphing? More like stupidity and mob violence.
You are not exactly polite you know. All you are getting from me is a different opinion. Some people have issues with opposition, I get it. However, its not a productive attitude.
The “global order” AKA the “Pax Americana”, has kept the peace, vastly magnified international commerce, and supported the US quality of life since WW2.
It takes a bit of perspective to see that, but I get it, it is easily overwhelmed by a nearsighted focus on immediate discontents.
Why is that an “exclusive”?
That the Senate GOP is completely sold out on Ukraine above all things has been obvious for two years.
Because they would not be allowed to.
That is new. The Russians would not be allowed to evacuate Ukraine - by who?
“The Russians would not be allowed to evacuate Ukraine - by who?”

That’s a bit different than your statement, “Russia can end it at any time.”
Russia cannot end it. Set aside the fact that Russia only demands NATO back off from its expansion on Russia’s border.
The globalists insist on this war as Russia is a stick-in-the-mud to the atheist neopagan fascist government.
Neither Russia or Ukraine will be allowed to end this war, it will be allowed to escalate.
Our only hope to end this war is President Trump 47/2024.
“That’s a bit different than your statement, “Russia can end it at any time.””
Russian withdrawal would end this war immediately. Then both sides can argue about sanctions and reparations.
There is no secret cabal controlling events.
