If Biden doesn’t solve the border,funding will be blocked
Our own government is allowing 20 million people into the US- untold amounts of terrorists from every country…we’re about to have more problems than a math book so yall are about to be on your own
Yes
Even thou the Republicans & Democrats have a workable deal… trump said NO
Hundreds, thousands, of billions sent to Afghanistan, but only a misery for Ukraine ? It’s pretty clear U.S want to keep war, and so on weakness, in the area: this is what logic says.
So logic is to expect EU to boost its military industry and to take distance with this false ally.
I think Ukrainians should take really care about not getting absorbed by U.S influence, but they aren’t stupid and they know what the “deal” is. Nations only know their pure own interest. The only real allies are the close ones, geographically.
Yes.
At least Yes if the GOP keeps the House in November.
European countries do their part, please.
‘Yeah, we know its important to keep democracy going, but, y’see, ther’s all these here drag queens invadin the border and coming here to go on the vegetables and pick our benefits and them dumbocrats just don’t understand but we’re gonna teach them a lesson”.
One plausible explanation is that the Republican Party is beholden to Russian dark money.
Any other ideas?
Not Americans, Republican traitors
MAGA republicans, not congress.
Anything they can do that’s contradictory to what democrats want they’ll do
Yes. Remember Afghanistan and South Vietnam?
But luckily we don’t need to rely on the US remember? Russia’s military is collapsing with upwards of 1000 casualties per day according to the Ukrainian MOD.
No we won’t abandon Ukraine. Despite the psy ops. I promise.
That’s what’s wild to me. They’ve already spent billions, and those billions help the American economy. Why not just finish the job?
Republicans are, not all Americans
Its europes time to prove they dont need us..
Republicans are American by name only at this point.
NO American Republicans have sold their leftover morals to an Orange God that loves Pooty.
Shitcunts
Media bias is out of control
Are Republicans who control Congress, really going to abandon Ukraine?
Are Republican Voters really going to abandon Ukraine
yes. let me explain it so you can understand it.
ya see… a mexican crossed over into the united states on our southern border.
and now ukraine must die.
or else i’ll look stupid.
To my fellow Americans, please take a few minutes to call or write your representatives. Especially if you live in the district of one of the Republicans trying to ratfuck Ukraine.
We need to put significantly more pressure on them for this
Apparently tell November when we vote even more MAGA politicians out
Putin paid good money to have Republicans turn against Ukraine, and they’re giving him a great return on his investment.
Not completely

F* the politicians! Ukraine and the Southern Border are big deals! We need to fund Ukraine, and stop the flow on the Southern Border. I vacillate between Biden and Elephants, but today I’m voting for Biden. Yesterday it was the Ellephants because of the border. Today they both SUCK BALLS!
It’s not ‘the congress.’ It’s the Republican Party.
I will never, ever, support another republican if they bail on Ukraine.
The democrats have the republicans over a barrel and can secure political leadership power for the next 3 election cycles if they give the repubs everything they want on the border. If the repubs still refuse the offer they will lose every election in any swing state because their base will mutiny on them just like they did in Northern Georgia in recent past by not showing up to vote. This is the perfect trap to really hurt the repubs if the text of the bill show the dems offered everything. If I was Biden I would shut down the border preemptively just to sucker them into the deal to get Ukraine funding. And if they still refuse they would be screwed and in a yr they could give Ukraine whatever they wanted and get whatever they wanted on a variety of issues. You just gotta set the trap! Its perfect!
I know very close to nothing about American laws and how these situations progress. Can someone ELI5 if there really is no way around this absolute pile of shit party and congress to make the bills go through untill November?
Yes. They want to burn everything down
We abandoned Syria after supporting them and actually having boots on the ground, why would Republicans treat Ukraine any differently?
European leaders + Trudeau were laughing at Trump when he told them during a NATO meeting to up the budget to the agreed upon 2% GDP. This was is 2018. During that same meeting he said that Germany was totally controlled by Russia. Everyone laughed at Trump and didn’t take him seriously.
Guess what Europe, get your act together. I’m fully supporting Ukraine, but we have a border crisis ourselves with Biden doing exactly nothing about it. Despite Democratic governors and mayors complaining about immigrants flooding their cities and states.
People in this sub need to qualify their posts to denote which party is denying funding.
Ask Afghanistan
