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.”

I completely agree with Pompeo.
This can be done as a loan, costing America ZERO, while making America’s industries Great Again and giving the American worker plenty of new jobs.
Trump is a businessman, thus I don’t see how he possibly can be against this loan in any way. He might even push this proactively forward very soon.

Trump doesn’t want the Russia-Iran/Hamas-North Korea-China Alliance to win in Ukraine and against America’s interests in general. He proved that when he was president putting in place harsh anti-Russia and pro-Ukraine polices back then.
I have a list of 40 spectacular things Trump did...

Israel and Ukraine are America’s allies and Zelensky have said many times that he is ready to pay for Western weapons.
Let’s do a lend-lease, just like with the the UK during WWII. The UK paid it all back to America in 2006. Thus, it works! And America won’t lose any money, and might even profit from it all. Just like WWII saved America’s Economy and made it a super-power.

Morally speaking it’s a Christian thing to do. To help our allies from being slaughtered by Islamists and Neo-Soviets.

Right after Biden closes the border to everyone but Americans and stops all those illegal flights into the US for 60 days we can bring it up for a vote.

When the number of illegal entries is below 100 a month.

“None of our challenges at home will be made better by abandoning our allies at this time of great need.” Au contraire, fat boy. Spending the billions of American tax money on securing our borders and deporting illegals would absolutely be better than the endless money pit that is Ukraine. (By the way, why aren’t your buddies calling for a cease fire and peace talks there?)

“And this is a Time for Choosing. “ I choose America First.

Wow! It will cost zero to give a hundred billion dollars to Ukraine because it is a loan?!?!?

Why don’t we give them a trillion then? No cost at all to the USA!!

Seriously, how can anyone pretend for one moment that Ukraine will pay back any loan? They will never pay back anything and everyone knows it!

This is flushing money down a black hole.

Hey Froggy, you're not an American Citizen.

Stop telling us what to do with our money.

If you want to fund your globohomo hero, Zelensky, write him a check.

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/feb/21/instagram-posts/did-volodymyr-zelenskyy-use-us-aid-to-buy-yachts-n/<<<<

So says the most prolific poster of UKE propaganda on FR.

I wonder, does she have knowledge of all of Zelensky's assets?

And using a known lib site, Politifact, as a credible source?! (Eyeroll)

Zeepers claim to be Conservative. If so, why do they use lib sources to verify their bogus claims and why do their views align with libs Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, Warnock, Bloomenthal, Booker, et al and not Conservatives Vance, Jordan, MTG, Paul, Tuberville, Lee, Gaetz, Boebert, Blackburn et al?

You must have your head up Zelensky's arse in order to know that.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Your full support for the atrocious GINSCA* somehow makes you the moral high authority then?!

*GINSCA = Globo-Islamo-NeoSoviet-Commie-Alliance
(Composed of Russia, IRAN/HAMAS, North Korea, China).

My family is French-American-Scandinavian. Our natural connection to America is dating back roughly 120 years. Well before WWI.
My family has been paying taxes in America and in France for as long back as I can remember.

I want part of my taxes to help protecting Christianity against the Neo-Soviet-Fashists and their Fundamentalist Islamic Iranian allies attacking Christian freedoms in Europe and Israel. I want them to stop terrorizing and assassinating our Israeli and Ukrainian allies.
You want the contrary of that, which makes you immoral.

You dont care about our allies’ rights: “Not to be Replaced”, because your behavior here on FR seems to be purely deep-state Kremlin-style. You are part of that elite. You don’t care about the little people, we the deplorables, we the Judeo-Christians.

It’s time we hit back against the three love-birds RUSSIA, IRAN/HAMAS, North Korea. They are so deeply in bed together that it stinks.

How can you take seriously the idiots who go on about “globohomos” as a basis for foreign policy.

Pathetic.

Then he should vote for Biden, or personally give his money to Ukraine: https://u24.gov.ua/

He can also send himself or children to Ukraine to fight: https://ildu.com.ua/

However, he needs to stop pretending as if he has a right to force other people to pay for his personal beliefs and convictions when:

1. NO-ONE can reasonably articulate a threat for us.

2. NO-ONE can show how our involvement in this war has made us more free, safe, or wealthy.

Personal crusade = personal money and personal risk to self.

Seriously, I do not care if he sends every last dime he has, if he and his four boys (if he has children) go fighting in this conflict.

But making me pay for his BS is no different than making me pay for someone’s abortion, or EV, or sex change, or or or.

Everyone is entitled their beliefs, but his beliefs do not entitle him to other people’s money.

Which is why the Ukrainians dipped their bullets in pig fat when they were fighting the bloodthirsty Chechens.

Yes, I agree with your analysis.

And let me re-post one of the most well-thought and intelligent comments about that I have ever seen here on FR. You posted it. And I just have to applaud.

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4226450/posts?page=133#133

I approve your message 100%. Nothing else is needed to say.
