Johnson in April spearheaded a $95 billion bipartisan aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan that was opposed by allies of former President Trump in Congress.

How many kids in Gaza were killed by those US weapons?

The people who opposed the continuation of the wars did the right thing.

Johnson in April spearheaded a $95 billion bipartisan aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan that was opposed by allies of former President Trump in Congress.

Republican presidential candidate Trump has indicated he would quickly move to cut aid to Kyiv if elected.

The MAGA triangulation of apportioning American aid between pro-Putinism, Christian Nationalist AIPAC interests ostensible anti-CCP gestures is something new in American geo-poltics.

Call it the Great Game redux.

Ask.not what Ukraine can do for itself,but what you can do for Ukraine,Biden wonder why he in trouble, Ukraine was never a priority for the Americans people

-3 ( +7 / -10 )

Biden actually has not mentioned Ukraine,wonder why

-1 ( +9 / -10 )

He is losing the provoked civil conflict, chunks of territory with large amounts of people and term has expired - question marks as to his legitimacy.

""While Trump in April declined to lobby against passage of the aid package, he made waves in February when he suggested the U.S. should not defend NATO countries that do not meet their obligations to contribute to their national defense.""

Fair Enough,

Better yet shut this war down and focus on finding a solution to end it bcz. obviously guns aren't doing it.

Important to consider a few facts here:

No amount of fiat money or military aid will change the calculus on the battlefield.

This is latest instalment from just another actor.

Reuters reported last month that two key advisers to Trump have presented him with a plan to end Russia's war in Ukraine - if he wins the Nov. 5 presidential election - that involves telling Ukraine it will only get more U.S. weapons if it enters peace talks.

The problem with this is that Putin doesn't want peace talks. He wants surrender talks.

Oh, so you do admit that Russia provoke the civil conflict in 2014?

Russia certainly aren't winning.

Gonna be quite awkward to break the news to Zelensky.

the news that he is gonna need to find a new sugar daddy when Joe is carted off to the retirement home after doing his “goodest”

This is good. Cowardice is going to be a difficult position for MAGAs to hold for a sustained period.

How many kids in Gaza were killed by those US weapons?

The people who opposed the continuation of the wars did the right thing.

They were voted on separately. The Ukraine aid could not have been more justified and will save lives in the end.

Moscow is intervening with a defensive posture in a civil war provoked by outside actors and against what it accurately views as a proxy for NATO.

Important to reflect that Russia had no real qualms with Kyiv from 1991 until the 2014 coup against an elected government and attempted 8 years of diplomacy.

Don't know what war you are talking about but Putin's War involving the fully army of the Russian fascist state is not a civil conflict and was not provoked by Ukraine.

-3 ( +9 / -12 )

Looking good for a resolution of the Ukraine conflict if Trump gets in not so good for the Palestinians though sadly. Adelson just "donated" $100 mill to the Trump campaign supposedly based on his support for Israel fully annexing the West bank...

Sending in troops is not defensive

No outside actors provoked Russia.

and against what it accurately views as a proxy for NATO.

It isn't a proxy war.

There was no coup.

Pro-tip: no believes you when you try to turn a war of aggression into a "defensive posture" by shameless annexation.

Important to reflect that Russia had no real qualms with Kyiv from 1991 until the 2014 coup against an elected government and attempted 8 years of diplomacy.

Important to reflect that Russia was already invading before the 2014 revolution was completed. Important to reflect that Russia failed in its obligations under Minsk and so this was 8 years of cover while they prepared for war.

Ukraine hasn't been offered a ceasefire it can live with. Better yet not to give the bloodthirsty dictators of the world encouragement.

Trump is incapable of working out how to shut this war down.

Literally indisputable statements. You should have stopped there.

still no idea abt peace negotiations...how many people still have to die dear warmongers...

I would love for there to be peace negotiations, but Putin isn't interested.

There was no coup.

If you don't agree, send some evidence of a coup in Ukraine in 2014.

Unconditional ceasefire is still not on the table so as many as Russia has.

" How many kids in Gaza were killed by those US weapons? The people who opposed the continuation of the wars did the right thing....................They were voted on separately. The Ukraine aid could not have been more justified and will save lives in the end."

Same ole White House / Pentagon propaganda being used to justify prolonging armed conflicts worldwide. How many lives do you estimate have US bombs saved in Ukraine and Gaza so far?

Ukraine is still not part of the fascist state, so I would say 30 million or so have been saved.

Important to remember that Yanukovich could have entered a power sharing agreement with the opposition and that the "violence" was with US supplied baseball bats on the pro-EU side I guess.
