Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in remarks published on Saturday, said his country was awaiting a much-needed, large-scale aid package from the United States and that he still believed Congress would vote it through.

Unfortunately, I think he’s right. I also think it will damage the November elections similar to the bonehead abortion legislation Lindsey Graham introduced in September, 2022.
I think he is right also. Mike Johnson. Major disappointment. He will not be returning to Congress I’m fairly certain of that.
They've been doing it for quite a while, now.
I’m hoping there is a non zero chance Mike Johnson will jerk the rug out from under the ‘rats and neocons last minute by demanding they include boarder wall funding or something else America First™️ as a condition. Maybe wishful thinking but I can dream…
Yep dreaming is an option, but I think that option will disappoint. For I see no evidence that Mike will change his behavior, but by the grace of the Lord. So, stop dreaming & starting praying. 🙏🙂👍
I believe Mike Johnson has certainly been compromised in some fashion.
They will, because they are intent on stabbing American citizens in the back, in order to destroy this country a little bit more. This country will never be what it once was. It’s lost to the ages. Glad I’m on my way out.
This could a good thing if the aid is contingent upon and targeted for bolstering Ukraine to provide leverage for last and best chance of immediate negotiations to successfully settle the conflict.
If the Zelensky Regime does not change it's position to a negotiation posture from it's current “we are going to fight until we oust the Russians from Ukraine and win back Crimea” it's a total waste of money and irreplaceable military munitions at a time when we need to worry about China.
Regardless of how much we give them, Ukraine has lost the war and they will be crushed by Russian military force in the near future short of direct NATO boots on the ground military intervention which will kick off WWIII and probably a nuclear exchange.
All aid can do atb this point is bolster Ukraine to get the best deal possible in an armistice or delay the inevitable with even more unnecessary death and destruction on both sides if Zelensky and the rest of his dead enders in his inner circle continues their delusional Fuehrer Bunker approach to dragging out the conflict till the better end. .
Russia has long realized that they cannot compete with the West on conventional military terms so their twist on asymmetric warfare is micro yield nukes on hypersonic missiles. They really have no choice but to go to nukes in a head to head matchup with the US and NATO forces because that's all they have to work with.
Maybe they can trigger WWIII with enough help to Zalensky. Then full employment for the M/I complex and they political mouthpieces for the foreseeable future.
That’s the only thing that makes sense.
Johnson should know that no promise made by ‘rats and neocons will be kept after Ukraine Grift is sent, they've never kept a promise before.
If Johnson allows a dime to Ukraine he's just joined the Rat and neocon Traitors.
Agree.
Zelensky has so much dirt on Biden, Pelosi, Schumer and their children, he can’t imagine they won’t do whatever it takes, legal or not, to give him our money.
They will probably relabel it as a “loan” and pass it. An interest-free loan that doesn’t have to be paid back. That sounds like the kind of deal that can get bipartisan support.
I think the pressure is coming from the GOPe side, more so than the Democrats. Because this is not being pushed exclusively by the Democrats. The Gope, in my opinion, is the Democrat assistant function of the Uni-party. That would explain why so many neo-cons who were Democrat supporters migrated to the Republican Party. To give the impression that the Republican Party had gained support. The neo-cons are deceivers, who never left the Democrat Part at all.
Hey, one can hope!
They used to be known as “Scoop Jackson Democrats”.
Need the AV-8B_Harrier_II, because non-airfield landing locations are a necessity (and Harriers are available - though now in storage):
- - -
Take that over the F-16, because it can do a better job of hiding after air op. I suspect that Ukraine could have had a significant number of Harriers by now. But now, other countries are going to need it.
Meaning, there is a definite need for an airborne launch-platform for issuing anti-air missiles that can fly long distance to a remote airborne target.
Thereafter, finding a place to land and have maintenance performed - that is NOT an airstrip.
Need altogether:
Ground-based anti-air, anti-missile support
for our own airborne jet aircraft that are
far from the front and operating
as long-range anti-air;
while also having local anti-airborne-drones,
that protect the ground-based
anti-air, anti-missile.

Possibly. They ARE after all the lickspittle loyal, but-not-too-vocal opposition. They are completely content with second-tier power and the table scrap leavings the Democrats deign to give them and their compliant states/voters.
They LOVE DC and environs. They LOVE attention from MSM when they obey. The LOVE the parties, social scene and the feeling of being a member of the world’s best country clubs. They love it so much, they’ll do ANYTHING to keep from leaving and to go back home. One example of how they got the Turtle to toe-the-line was giving Kentucky $4.5 billion in target piss-away money one budget year.
