Republicans elected a POS to House Speaker, one whom among other disgusting votes, has consistently voted against sending any further aid to Ukraine. We'll have to see what happens, might still be enough Republicans in House that support aid despite electing him as Speaker but we'll see. MAGA have taken over the Republican Party, fucking crazy that Moscow Mitch is somehow the voice of reason now on Ukraine aid.
I'd not be surprised if a Government shutdown happens as well. America may become an unreliable ally once again thanks to Republicans but again, we'll have to wait and see. Worst comes to worst there's still lend-lease which Biden doesn't need House approval for since it was already approved but straddling Ukraine with massive debt isn't ideal.
The White House has been quietly urging lawmakers in both parties to sell the war efforts abroad as a potential economic boom at home.
Aides have been distributing talking points to Democrats and Republicans who have been supportive of continued efforts to fund Ukraine’s resistance to make the case that doing so is good for American jobs, according to five White House aides and lawmakers familiar with the effort and granted anonymity to speak freely.
In a March 2022 Senate floor speech, McConnell (R-Ky.) warned that the defense industrial base had been caught “napping” as the Russian invasion entered its second month. In the early days, he repeatedly pushed Biden to use the Defense Production Act to ramp up weapons production.
And while some GOP support for Ukraine has eroded, the Senate minority leader took to the Sunday talk shows last weekend to push his Republicans against separating Israel’s cause from the war in Europe.
“No Americans are getting killed in Ukraine. We’re rebuilding our industrial base. The Ukrainians are destroying the army of one of our biggest rivals. I have a hard time finding anything wrong with that. I think it’s wonderful that they’re defending themselves,” he said on CBS’s Face the Nation.
The White House is losing the messaging war on Ukraine. Now it's changing the message. - POLITICO
