Because voters in both parties want to support Ukraine.
He’s going to flip out when he finds out that gay Ukrainian soldiers want equal rights. But until then… … I guess you have to go to war with the army you’ve got, right?
There a non pay walled source to corroborate?
Actions speak louder than words.
If he’s got the power to get the money through then awesome, get it done. The arguments for supporting Ukraine are extremely clear and directly benefit America. Sending equipment due for retirement to Ukraine and replacing it with brand new equipment is a funding program for America’s military.
Here’s the [AP write up](https://apnews.com/article/mike-johnson-israel-ukraine-immigration-gop-agenda-e4054f12f83cfaa09044aa3d087396a8), and it’s the same DOA proposition he suggested in the beginning of his leadership, which insists on passing a separate 14.5 Billion dollar aid to Israel. There’s no real leverage to pass the Ukraine bill separately even with ‘border security package attached’. More importantly, the only reason to pass them separately is because they either only want to pass the Israel aid and not the others or they want to make cuts to a number of medicare, social security, etc programs to fund Ukraine. Either of those things is unacceptable. Furthermore if dems went along with separate funding republicans intend to hit Biden as being irresponsible when he will inevitably refuse to pass a Ukraine-border security bill that takes cuts from legacy safety net programs or his signature legislation. There’s no reason to trust anything Johnson is saying, they could easily pass a unified bill if they cared at all about Ukraine.
Paywall
Mike Johnson is a whore. He cares about power, not Ukraine. But allies of convenience are allies nevertheless.
Get this fucking package through, and give them *EVERYTHING*.
There is a secret about Mike Johnson, that is not a nice one.
This guy is a christo-fascist piece of shit, don’t believe a word he says, only believe actions and only when he’s actually taken them.
I told you. In US, policy plays YOU.
Mike Johnson is a champion of deeply un-American theocracy and nothing else. He is a vile, openly tyrannical man, the West’s version of Iran’s worst ayatollahs.
