And Speaker Johnson will take the day off and go to Mar a Lago tomorrow.
How are these events related?
Johnson hasn’t moved funding for Ukraine to the floor in six weeks. He’s not doing it because Trump told him not to. Trump would rather help his friend Putin.
Meanwhile, Russia is taking out infrastructure with a massive missle garage last night.
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.
How are these events related?
Because there’s some kind of Internet law that all discussions must be about the United States. This law also has addendums requiring discussion of why / how the United States sucks, why / how Republicans suck, and why / how every problem in the world is a combination of those two things.
Speaking as an American the MAGA-publicans DO suck and the situation they’ve created in Ukraine is fucking infuriating but every God Damned President of the United States has been warning the EU members nations for thirty fucking years that they were under-spending and under-prepared for this eventuality. Even Russia swiping Crimea in 2014 only produced a chorus of yawns from every EU nation aside from the U.K.
So now the EU member nations simply don’t have the fucking equipment, or the MIC to build more, to send to Ukraine without shorting their own pitiably thin national stockpiles. This is why none of them want to send more Patriot batteries or anything else of consequence.
Since they don’t have it, because they didn’t want to spend money on it, they want the US to do it. Which we should but not because the EU is asking but because Ukraine deserves our help in this fight.
The United States looked away for just four god damned years during the Trump Administration (fuck that guy) and the Euros suddenly need Uncle Sam to fix a mess for them. JFC I can’t decide whose so called leadership I despise more, ours or theirs.
It’s a sunk cost at this point, guys.
Ukraine is broken and has no morale.
If one day old tankie account says that, it must be true.
It doesn’t matter who says it.
Nobody should believe anything from a Russia sock puppet
The sky is blue.
