Zelenskyy will arrive on Capitol Hill to grim mood as Biden's aid package for Ukraine risks collapse
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will arrive on Capitol Hill to a darker mood than when he swooped in last winter for a hero’s welcome.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will arrive on Capitol Hill to a darker mood than when he swooped in last winter for a hero’s welcome, as the Russian invasion is grinding into a third year and U.S. funding hangs in balance.
Zelenskyy’s visit Tuesday comes as President Joe Biden’s request for an additional $110 billion U.S. aid package for Ukraine, Israel and other national security needs is at serious risk of collapse in Congress. Republicans are insisting on strict U.S.-Mexico border security changes that Democrats decry as draconian in exchange for the overseas aid.
“It is maddening,” said Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., a close ally of Biden, of the stalemate. “A very bad message to the world, to the Ukrainian people.”

Military support for Ukraine has been a huge job creator in the USA. More than 80% of the investments never left the States. The biggest winners are states like Pennsylvania, Texas, Arizona, Wisconsin and many more.
Everyone asking to stop military aid for Ukraine basically asks to stop funding those states, and on top helps all adversaries of the US, effectively weakening the US in the long run. The costs would be immeasurably high. Plus, the US reputation on the world stage will suffer for a generation or more when we give eastern Europe to Russia.
On the flip side, helping Ukraine will boost US economy, strengthen the Western alliances and deter anyone who dares to wage war against us or our allies. It has only benefits and can be easily achieved.,
Here in Alabama we make javelins. It has ben a pretty big boost to our economy. At least that’s what the papers tell me.
Have you heard of Saint Javelin?
I have, and from what I’ve heard she brings a pretty clear message to those in need of her teachings.
Tell me you are retarded without telling me you are retarded
Reputation? Really? I mean, they can keep sending support for Ukraine all they want but to act like this has anything to do with reputation is pretty funny especially in the wake of the US blocking the Gaza ceasefire vote.
This country has shown time and time again they don't really give a shit what it's reputation is on the world stage, regardless of administration..
Since WWII and even before allies, the EU, Japan, Australia etc have had confidence of the support of the US. That is essential as we work on our own geopolitical needs. To abandon a country in the middle of a fight will only decrease that confidence.
Sure I'm not talking about abandoning Ukraine or even criticizing the aid the US is sending here, I'm just saying I think it's pretty naive of us in 2023 to pretend this has anything to do with global reputation.
They didn't care in 04 going into Iraq, they didn't care the other day voting against a cease fire. Reputation with key allies they might need, sure, but not globally.
We had allies fight with us in Afghanistan and Iraq. UN votes have been like that for a long time. They are allied with the US, not Israel..
Reputation with key allies rather than the world stage then. I don't know why it has to be for anything else than quid pro quo with selected allies. That's a different sentiment than global reputation on the world stage.
Do any of you have any actual evidence to back up this assertion either way or is this thread inundated with people talking out of their assholes?
🤔 I wonder what kind of a clever comeback you'll offer in lieu of evidence, like you did the other guy down below.
Could you please stfu forever?
Could you?
Could you grow the fuck up and be an adult for once in your fucking life?
Could you actually try critically thinking about anything you're told instead of latching onto any stupid fucking thing you're told because it's what you want to hear?
Is that so hard?
Who am I kidding? Of course it is for you.
More bullshit from a piece of shit -- meaningless 🙄
Yep, that's what you're bringing to the table through a shitty alt account instead of anything substantive.
Grow. Up.
As if your opinion mattered to me in the slightest. Who even are you, other than a random kid raging on the Internet?
Evidence of what? One thing that's clear, those always quick to ask for evidence are those that have not read much and have no other response to the point. So they make the OP do their research work for them.
So in other words, your claim the Ukraine war is fostering American jobs is baseless and you don't know what you're talking about.
Thanks for making it obvious.
Where do you think all those weapons come from?
