The Virginia lawmaker said he "fears" that if the U.S. doesn't pass additional war funding for Ukraine, Russia leader Vladimir Putin will win his war against Ukraine and move on to invade other countries.

Give us this money or the Russians will shoot your dog.
isnt that special? More threats/blackmail!

Even if the War Powers Act were Constitutional (which it obviously isn’t), under what theory is this even possible?
Blackmail
“ I remember one of our Pentagon predicting that the Russians would occupy Kyiv in 72 hours. That was two years ago. What happened??”
They didn’t.
“ What happened??”
Why do foreign wars conducted by alien peoples concern you so much

A few days later Kabul fell.
Perhaps we should outsource our intelligence gathering to gypsy fortune tellers. They would be cheaper and probably more accurate.
The Ukraine, controlled by the CIA since 2014, participated in the coup against President Trump with Zelensky and “whistleblower” Col.
