House Speaker Mike Johnson says he will push for aid to Israel and Ukraine THIS WEEK

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Mike Johnson said Sunday he will try to advance wartime aid for Israel this week as he attempts the difficult task of winning House approval for a national security package that also includes funding for Ukraine and allies in Asia.

Johnson, R-La., is already under immense political pressure from his fellow GOP lawmakers as he tries to stretch between the Republican Party’s divided support for helping Kyiv defend itself from Moscow’s invasion. The Republican speaker has sat for two months on a $95 billion supplemental package that would send support to the U.S. allies, as well as provide humanitarian aid for civilians in Ukraine and Gaza and funding to replenish U.S. weapons provided to Taiwan.

The attack by Iran on Israel early Sunday further ratcheted up the pressure on Johnson, but also gave him an opportunity to underscore the urgency of approving the funding.

Johnson told Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that he and Republicans “understand the necessity of standing with Israel” and he would try this week to advance the aid.

“The details of that package are being put together right now,” he said. “We’re looking at the options and all these supplemental issues.”

Stand alone bill for Israel at minimum and accountable funds.

Ukraine can piss off at this point. France buying billions of dollars from Putin for natural gas while saber-rattling shows perfectly just how big of a joke that entire Ukraine money-laundering scene is in reality.

No, the Ukrainians TODAY know what genocidal pigs RUN THEIR COUNTRY. The ones murdering dissents like American citizens Gonzalo Lira. The ones rounding up conscripts and sending them to die on the frontlines against their will. The ones tearing down churches. The ones that embraced neo-Nazis.

All you do is lie you stinking piece of Ruskie scum. My family there knows the truth. The Ukrainians fight Russian apes because Ukraines survival depends on stopping the criminal invaders.

Ukraine is the most depraved in Europe.

It's long been one of the most corrupt. It's been the epicenter in the world of neo-Nazism. It's modern day founding is a Nazi Collaborator, Stepan Bandera.

Zelensky has banned opposition parties, imprisoned opposition leaders, imprisoned and murder dissents, including American Gonzalo Lira, imprisoned priests, destroyed churches and cancelled elections.

Ukraine is an abomination to both God and the human race.

Your family obviously live in Dontesk or Lugansk. Those there went through hell after the illegal coup in 2014. Citizens there were persecuted and murdered.

Right on cue, PBS is gladly doing their part in spreading the bias of the Biden Administration concerning funding for Ukraine, by sending Amna Nawaz all the way to Kyiv to have a sit down interview with Zelensky, so they can spin the US must help defend “Israel&Ukraine” UniParty Scheme!!!

Aired tonight on the PBS NewsHour.

You are a criminal for defending the Neo-Bolshevik dictator and his brutal invasions of the Republic of Georgia and Ukraine. What do you even pretend to know about the Donbas or any part of Ukraine? Have you ever disagreed with a single Moscow claim? You know nothing of Ukraine but cheer the daily murder of Ukrainian civilians by RUSSIA.

The Russians can’t even take advantage of their four to one population edge because their conscripts are ignorant serfs, Buryats, Mohammedans, and convicts. The Ukrainians fight with spirit because they fight for freedom. The Russian armed forces are a showcase of incompetence.

“”””Give me a day or two and find that conversation.
I’ll get back to you.””””

Since it doesn’t exist it is no wonder these days have not paid off for you and your “search”.

I know that, you have no connection to truth.

You would find that conversation where I was pointing out your constantly mentioning “warm male bodies” on thread after thread.

I vehemently disagree with the Russian bloggers that are accusing Israel of genocide and want a ceasefire and two-state solution in Israel.

In fact, I was blocked by Dagny Taggert, who family lives in Donetsk, on X because I went after her posts about Israel.

That being said, the war in Ukraine is 100% the fault of our meddling in Ukraine the Ukrainian nationalists and neo-Nazis that fomented an illegal coup in Ukraine in 2014 that threw a democraticaly-elected President Yanukovych out of office, a President the VAST majority in Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea voted for.

The ethnic Russians and those that voted for Yanukovych were no obligation to persecuted, discriminated against and murdered by disgusting pigs like yourself. They had every right to declare their independence and/or join the Russian Federation. That was absolutely the will of the people in those regions.

You're hatred of Russians is just as despicable as what Stalin did to Ukrainians. It's a ugly ethnic hatred.

The Russians have done a remarkable job minimizing civilians causalities.

It's YOUR side that has been targeting civilians in Donetsk for 10 years. It's Ukraine that used civilians as human shields in Mariupol and even Amnesty International condemned Ukraine for doing so. It's Ukraine that has targeted and shelled a nuclear power plant and tried to cause a nuclear disaster.

The Ukraine SBU has targeted and killed civilians like Daria Dugina.

Everything you accuse Russia is true of scum running Ukraine. It's Ukraine, not Russia, that most resembles both the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.

You're projecting your own defense of a criminal regime onto me.

God knows the truth and you will answer to Him.
