The Biden Administration has done profoundly destructive things and their conduct in Ukraine will lead to the defeat of the Ukraine by Russia.
I am totally opposed to how the Biden Administraion has conducted it's affairs in Ukraine because it will ultimately result in the destruction of Ukraine as an independent nation.
The legislation passed by Johnson simply maintains the disastrous Biden status quo and does a lot of other bad things - like 9 billion in support of Hamas in Gaza.
The reality is that it is now May and the election is in November and the next president of the United States is going to oversee the majority of the funding that was just voted on.
I want that President to be President Trump.
Absent the funding that Johnson passed through, the Ukraine WILL collapse and be over run by Russia by the end of the year.
Of course, the Republicans will be blamed and the November elections will be blood bath for the Republicans.
That would be a catastrophe. It's on Biden but who is to blame no matter makes any difference - it's all about trying to salvage the disaster Biden has gotten the world into.
As a practical matter, in the big scheme of things, 60 billion dollars is a small price to pay to hold out hope that we get a new Trump administration in to put an end to the conflict in Ukraine.
This funding will bolster Ukraine's defenses and by the time Trump gets into office , the Ukraine will be stabilized to the point where the best possible deal can be cut to end the Ukraine conflict.
If Biden wins in November , 60 billion dollars makes no difference what so ever because we will be so screwed. We are literally facing national suicide and we will have so many crisis to face we will actually be relieved that the situation in Ukraine is not as bad as it could be.

People don’t vote on these foreign policy fringe issues. Those are only important to political obsessives.
What does demoralize them and changes voting is when their own politicians betray them, and collaborate with their enemies.
That funding will be spent within the month on US weapons that Ukraine has been holding out for.
Trump has greatly reduced his chances of winning with this.
It can and will get spun every which way there is. But in the end it is going to come across to a large group as capitulation to the Democrats. And that is going to hurt.
