Pompeo urges Johnson to bring Ukraine aid package to vote
The Hill ^ | 04/08/2024 | Brad Dress

Posted on 04/08/2024 10:47:23 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

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.”

No reason not to introduce a clean bill on Ukraine alone. Without the democrat contamination see what the congress wants.

Pompeo? What’s his position. Isn’t he a private citizen?

I have no problem bringing a clean proposal up for a vote. It will separate the wheat from the chaff. Please do it.

“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.

“ “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? Marijuana dispensary on every corner? 35 trillion in debt? Politicians buying multiple beach homes and mansions on a “government salary”?

Name the values that sending debt-created money to Kiev is securing. Let Pompeo speak in specifics.
