U.S. Ambassador Ukraine: “Every day, Ukraine is losing its people, its territory, its electricity. I ask Congress to vote now on Ukraine aid. It’s vital to US interests that Russia is stopped from taking a country of 40M. We lived this history in Europe before & we know the cost of failing to act”

1. Yeap, I don’t think your maga republicans at the house know much about history. As ignorant as they come.

2. Well, Ambassador, I suggest you tell your Obama era foreign policy team to step aside.

3. US doesnt care. Too busy with themselfs. Its up to the EU

4. I hate to break it to you but they were happy to watch Britain squirm for a couple of years. I know about lend lease but honestly, Britain was up against the greatest evil in history. It took a full on attack by the Japanese to get a fully focused America.

5. By all means, the US congress should pass the Ukraine aid bill. But I think it’s wrong to imply that the future of Ukraine depends on the US congress providing aid. This is just $61 billion in funding. Ukraine’s non US allies could easily make up this amount by just slightly increasing their contributions. Further, there are $200 billion of frozen Russian assets sitting in Belgian clearing houses that would provide all the funding Ukraine needs to win the war if there was a will to use it.

   So yes, the US congress should pass the funding bill, but Ukraine’s other allies should dig a little deeper to provide more help as well. Why should we be content with just $61 billion anyway? Ukraine could certainly use another $100 to really move things faster.
