Fight Brewing Over Ukraine
Nikki Grace
New York Times reporting: "A group of right-wing House Republicans pushing to load up the annual defense bill with socially conservative policies on abortion, race and gender have another demand: severe restrictions on U.S. military support for Ukraine...The pressure has set the stage for a divisive floor fight beginning on Thursday over backing for the war effort just as President Biden tries to rally European allies to support Kyiv in its conflict with Russia”
Tim adds:
So the Biden DOD loading up radical sexual and racial policies in pracice is somehow o.k. but Republicans in the House refusing to fund it isn't?
The endless gall of these people - and the media - never ceases to amaze me. THEY are the ones who politicized the military, not the GOP.
As for this endless, open-ended financial support for Ukraine, I have yet to hear a compelling argument from the Bidenauts about this war. What is OUR national interest here? How do WE define victory? What is OUR exit strategy? How do we plan to contain this to the immediate region? How do we plan to deal with the loss of Russian oil, Russian gas, Russian fertilizer, etc.? Biden and sons just want to talk about how we have to give them money! money! money! and it's somehow tied to freedom. No mention of the need for UKRAINE to reform their hopelessly corrupt government. No accountability for any of the money we are sending to them. No explanation of why they need illegal cluster bombs or Abrams tanks or any other terrible weapons. It's just an open-ended committment to continue to blow taxpayer money and sap our own national strength (we are out of munitions, for instance.)
I still see no reason whatsoever for this being OUR fight. All we have done is cause the deaths of countless people and dragged what would have been a two week war into a years-long war. The suffering and misery of both sides will radicalize the people's of both countries and we are going to rue the day.
