I love how we can't get anything done about our borders from the Democrats, yet, when THEY ask for more funds for Ukraine, the Republicans are just supposed to say "sure!"

Well the first issue is that you think there's a problem with the border.
Spoken like a true Democrat. Sincerely, someone who lives near the border.
No more military aid until Ukraine is willing to let the aid be properly tracked or vetted.
Insurgency and terrorist groups are goint to wind up with a lot of this equipment. See the middle east and other areas for examples.

The Kurds welcome Ukraine in joining the long list of groups abandoned and left in ruins by the US after being promised support to fight their enemy as long as needed.
Biden needs to focus on committing Genocide now. He has no time for Ukrainians beating an invasion. Surely Zeloonsky understands, he unconditionally supports israel's genocide himself.
It's clear that Ukraine is of "National Security Interests". So I vote we just take a lil bit of the budget allocated for military spending and use it where it would be best served.
it's mostly a gear refresh for our military anyway. we send them stuff we have stockpiled, then we spend the allocated money on new shit for us.
That's exactly what the US was doing.
The headline is a bit misleading, as you can see in the 2nd paragraph of the submission text, it's the current round of assistance that has halted, and they're pushing for Congress to continue their support of Ukraine.
Purposely so, that site was using sources and links to RT news.
Yeah, the site is suspect. The article uses the Russian spelling "Kiev" instead of the Ukranian "Kyiv," which is a giveaway that the site might be spreading Russian propaganda. Also:
Argentina seems to show a particularly interesting trend. The country has the region’s highest number of RT online readers, and, in 2014, it was one of the first countries in the region to allow RT to broadcast on public television. Current Argentine President Alberto Fernandez has since added Telesur, the Venezuelan television network, to his country’s basic national television service. Telesur now streams Russian propaganda and disinformation to 83% of the Argentine population. Given the reach of these outlets, it is an unlikely coincidence that 67.4% of Argentinian residents said in 2020 that they view Russia favorably.
And it's not that it has halted.
It has concluded.
It being halted would mean that that which was meant to be allocated is stopped from being allocated before all of it was allocated.
I'm sure Ukraine appreciates the difference.
If Zelensky and Ukrainians actions and words are an indicator, yes, they appreciate the difference between bullshit and saying what's what.
Have you missed them pleading for continued US support?
Putin is going to give all of his U.S. congressional pawns a big bonus this week.
It's sad to watch these world leaders who understand long strategy use the short American attention span to twist global politics to their own ends.
