    Everything you said there is true, but also isn’t an answer to the question asked.

      I think it does.

      Ukraine will be outgunned by Russia 10 to 1 in weeks without US help. That is determined by an ex president? Whole lot of people will die due to a feckless narcissist, and the EU is not sitting around watching their ally get destroyed as the US is. Putin will next invade NATO countries and US sons and daughters will pay the price.

        The buck stops at Johnson. Trump may be in the background, but he has no real power except what Johnson chooses to give, and Johnson can choose to take it back. IF (large if) Trump is elected president again in the future not doing what Trump wants can be a bad thing, but that isn’t clear and even if it happens it is still his choice to support Trump or not.

      It is. It is related to support of Ukraine.

      The US halted support to Ukraine, because the House of Representatives is now led by Mike Johnson, and is blocking any bills.

      Trump asked him to do it and Johnson is blocking it. Trump isn’t even holding any position in the government, he is right now an ordinary citizen (with unordinary charges) and is affecting US foreign policy.

      Now Johnson is taking time off and is going to Mar-a-Lago to see him. We have our government infiltrated by Russian agents.
