Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and a conservative think tank’s president pushed Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to approve more aid to Ukraine in its fight against Russia, arguing that backing Kyiv is vital to securing American freedom and values.
Pompeo, who served in the Trump administration, said in a letter with John Walters, the CEO and president of the Hudson Institute, that protecting Ukraine is connected to issues at home, making the argument as some Republicans, including Johnson, have previously insisted the U.S. must secure the border before sending more aid to Kyiv.
“None of our challenges at home will be made better by abandoning our allies at this time of great need, when they are staring down enemies of the free world,” they wrote, invoking former President Reagan’s doctrine to stand up against totalitarian forces. “The United States remains the indispensable nation. And this is a Time for Choosing. We encourage you to lead, and we will stand with you.”

“backing Kyiv now is vital to securing American values.” To the old timers, remember them saying the same thing about Viet Nam , and what did that get us; 50,000 dead GI s.
NO TO MORE MONEY for YouCrayne.
“ “backing Kyiv now is vital to securing American values.”
What “values” are those? Open borders? Human trafficking? Drug trafficking? Squatting? No bail for violent criminals? Transvestite children’s hour? Murdering unborn children? Pedoplhilia?
