NOT VOTING (3): Cornyn, Leahy, Merkley (all would have been yes votes).
Senator Mike Lee was expected to vote NO, but flipped and voted YES.
Watched it live and it’s great to have such a strong bipartisan support.
But for the jesus christ, is the voting procedure always like that??
95 to 1. At least we aren’t divided about everything.
Thanks folks 🙂

Although this is a mere confirmation of what has been true for a long time, it is still a very important time when we can formally recognize our allies and pledge ourselves to their defense. There are still a few votes in other nations left to be had; but, for my money, the Swedes and Finns are and will remain our good friends, partners, and allies no matter what those votes hold.
Ol’ Vlad claimed to be worried about NATO expansion when he kicked off this murderous war in Ukraine. Funny how that worked out for him, huh?
