  1. You say this as if it’s not the actual thing the Republican House is working for.

  2. After growing up in the 80’s, Republicans being pro-Russia is not something I’d ever have imagined happening.

  3. GOP doesn’t care they are all on Putin’s side.

  5. Hitler and Poland were not that long ago. There are people still alive today that were alive then. Is our memory really so short?

  6. I wish more people would recognize the extent to which our government has been infiltrated by Russia.

  8. MAGA doesn’t like democracy, even our Democratic Republic version. Funding Ukraine is counter to their interests. They’re fine with Russia, oligarcs, authoratarians and pogroms.

  9. The real problem here is that the Putin is calling the shots in the U.S. House of Representatives.

  10. I never thought I’d live in an America where Republicans are rooting for Russia to take over a democratic country.

  12. For all our big talk as a country, we’re certainly showing a significant measure of cowardice these days. Trump, a legitimately treasonous ex president, is still running around free, threatening and encouraging threats against those attempting to prosecute him for his crimes.

    Russia, once our sworn enemy, is openly attacking a neighbor while half of us are cheering him on and the government is too spineless to stand up to him.

    Another conflict in the Middle East is escalating and our government is “investigating antisemitism on campuses” rather than forming an international coalition and demanding a cease fire to spare innocent lives.

    This season of Earth is dumb af.

  13. The conservative Americans desperately want Putin to win because they see it as a path to help Trump.

  14. What is it bush/greenday said “you’re either with us or you hate democracy.”

    Stopped clock being right twice a day sort of thing

  15. Only one country benefits from the funding being cut. Who do these Republicans work for?

  16. Hey did anyone read the article that claimed that a Kremlin source said Putin died?

  17. The GOP the party of “Putin”…old Ronney is turning in his grave.

  18. Putin owns almost as many Republicans as Charles Koch does.

  19. I wish these idiots would realize how dangerous it is giving Russia and Putin any air. They are truly the greatest weakness in our democracy.

  20. I guess that’s in conflict with the GOP. As JD Vance said, Ukraine is not “our real ally”

  21. Do these idiots not understand? This is not just a battle for Ukraine’s existence, it is a battle for democracy itself. For it to survive, Putin must be defeated. The consequences of allowing Russia to annex Ukraine will be catastrophic for world peace and incomparably more costly than any aid given.

    Edit: words.

  22. Remember this is same man who has yet to condemn Israel for its war crimes….

  23. We all know this.

    This is why republicans want to cut Ukraine funding.

    Republicans are working for putin, not America.

    We need to remove all the republican traitors from office.

  24. Putin is getting what he paid for. Just like Americans are getting what we voted for in the House.

  26. Putin will be successful if Americans can’t afford gas and food. Wake up, ppl. It’s time for America first.

  27. They will lose anyway.

    The counter offensive was a failure.

    The average age of a Ukrainian solder is 45. They are conscripting people with no limit on how long they serve. The country cannot last indefinitely let alone win a war of attrition with Russia.

  28. IMO – Putin is probably the one actually running the GOP:

    1. Fund their campaigns

    1. Agree to rig votes for them

    2. After they accept the help, he can hold that over them as blackmail.

    3. Some actually admire his ruthlessness.

  29. The House work for Trump and Trump works for Putin. Therefore, the House works for Putin. Not looking good for the Ukraine aid, which we need the House in order to pass.

  30. And if Putin is successful, China is happy.

    Your move, Trumpertraitors.

  31. TBF, Hakeem Jeffries should step down because of the colossal strategic failure that led to Mike Johnson getting in position to make cutting off funding a reality. The dems absolutely shit the bed on this one. They had no exit strategy, and basically let Gaetz call the shots.

  34. Since all y’all want to support Ukraine so much, why not take your own money and donate it??? Exactly….it’s easier to burden future generations

  35. They already have won basically. They have the land bridge to Crimea

  36. It’s hard to believe a political leader would be against the aid. It’s obvious why we should give it. Something smells bad in the House.

  37. Christmas comes early for the guns manufacturers and their lobbyists.

  38. The House will hold funding and blame Biden when Ukraine falls. It’s the new playbook.

  39. Everyone with a small amount of sense and understanding of geopolitics knows this. The republican party has been taken over by MAGA, and they are all in with Putin. We need to have a national realization that they have been compromised. I’m sure the FBI knows this, but they have members that are compromised as well. As far as the CIA, I’m sure they know. But either they are compromised as well or feel like they are hamstrung. Probably the former because its not like they really care about the rules.

  41. I would rather have the IRS in tact than Ukraine win. As an American I don’t understand how people are ok with hurting our country and leaving it to despots just for the sake of Ukraine. Honestly it’s getting out of hand it’s not like they are or ever have been close with the united states

  42. now is the time for the white house to air whatever dirty gop laundry there is. unredact all of those reports. escalate their powers to help Ukraine urgently.

  43. Yes this is the whole point and the reason why they want to do it.

  44. Who cares. Americans dont want to waste any more tax dollars.

  45. I’m a black journalist and I remember having to forcefully go to a Trump rally to report on it once. I was one of the only black person there so I stood out from the crowd. Everyone was giving me dirty looks and I felt very uncomfortable. One white man even came up to me and even said to me if im sure if I want to be here in a really rude way.

    When I got a chance to talk to trump he wasnt really listening to me and was basically ignoring the questions I was asking him and kind of started doing his own thing and talked a lot about topics irrelevant to the questions I was asking. It was one of the worst few hours of my life.
