Mod: Congressional MAGA support for Vladimir Putin needs to be called out every day.
Biden Drops The Democracy Hammer On Putin Loving House Republicans (PoliticusUSA link): Politico recently reported: The Biden administration “will not accept a standalone, Israel-only bill that fails to demonstrate America’s commitment to standing up to Putin and his brutal aggression, and that doesn’t provide urgently needed humanitarian assistance.”
Any
Israel aid bill that fails to include humanitarian aid and money for
Ukraine is a no-go for the
White House — an escalation of a stance first sketched out after
Speaker Mike Johnson introduced an
Israel-only funding package offset by cuts to the
IRS. Instead, the
White House wants more than $100 billion in aid to be split among
Israel,
Ukraine,
Taiwan, and border funding.
The anti-Ukraine funding House Republicans are a large group who are a majority of the House majority, but they are not the majority of the entire House. The usual MAGA suspects like Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Andy Biggs are opposed to providing aid to Ukraine.
What is not being said when discussing this issue is that, at its heart,
Ukraine funding is a question of whether the
United States will support democracy. The actual appropriated funds don’t go to
Ukraine. The money is used to replenish the
US weapons stockpile to replace weapons that have been sent to
Ukraine. A majority of
House Republicans are refusing to support a democracy that is literally fighting for its life.
Biden is taking a hard stand because
Ukraine funding isn’t about money. It’s about democracy, and
Biden is attempting to stop anti-democracy
MAGAs from gaining a victory in the
United States.
