  5. 112 Republicans just voted to aid Russia‘s military expansion in Europe. Never forget what trump really stands for.

  7. They were waiving little Ukrainian flags on the floor of the House during the voting. For this, they were chastised by the chair for “breaking decorum.” After the vote, MTG asked to be recognized to speak, and said “Put those damn flags away!”

    I love it that those little flags bothered her so much.

    EDIT: Apparently I was mistaken, that wasn’t MTG who said “put those damn flags away!”

    >“Put those damn flags away!” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) told Democrats.

  8. Now Europe must step up. UK must go to at least 2.5% of GDP on defence.

  9. Also known as the day Putin’s 3-day war became a 3-year war

  10. Let’s gooooo this should get through the senate easily.

  12. Great news, now let’s beat this new axis of evil Russia China North Korea Iran

  13. Thank you, America. This is very important money for us, which will go towards the destruction of the aggressor. russia will not pass. рutin will not pass. Ukraine will be free. Thank you again.

  14. Now watch all the orbans and ficos make pro-Ukraine statements, because nobody wants to support the defeated side

  15. Haha russian bots already coping in the thread

  16. Funny how all the Kremlin bots seem to be so concerned about the poor and homeless on America’s streets all of a sudden when Ukraines aid is passed.

  17. Not the best timing. But very important step nonetheless.

  19. 30 billions for Israel to continue their full scale destruction is insane. They don’t need it.

  20. Some republicans still don’t get that they basically pay off Ukrainians to waive their war to Russia. That’s the American way of war. Flooding your local champions with weapons and money and let them do the fighting and dying and pay the bill after.
    When that’s not enough, send ‘advisors’ to do some of the fighting.
    When that’s not enough, direct involvment.

    But since it’s a war with Russia we talk about, that’s just out of the picture.
    And basically, it didn’t happen oh too well the last few times so…

  21. Weird that Israel is still getting extra funds at this stage.

  22. Yes it’s a bipolar world and it is at war how are you allies hunker down this is a multi forever year battle

  23. Can you hear that, Mr. Putin? It’s the sound of inevitability.

    It’s the sound of the war in Ukraine being lost by Russia.

    Incredible how many people will have to die and how many lives will be destroyed besides those people dying, just because of 1 man’s stupidity and the complicity of maybe 10000 more (Russian elites, Russian collaborators in the West).

    I really, really hope that slowly, bit by bit, Ukraine gets back Crimea. If it does, Ukrainian statehood is secure (it would reduce the possible invasion front by probably 1000-1500km…).

  28. Too late tho, before that help now arrives, there might be major military advances of the Putlers regime.

  29. Frustratingly they’ll need far more for upkeep given the losses Ukraine have had in the time it took them to pass this. Hopefully they can make it count

  30. Oh thank goodness, those starving children in Gaza are getting out of hand.

  32. Why does the US always have to foot the bill?
    How much is the EU giving Ukraine?
    If the same as US that’s fair…
