Do we have any idea why the Republicans are throwing a spanner in the works? My understanding is that 99% of them are just donor schills that will do what they're told by capital (dems are only slightly better if we're being honest). As more funding to Ukraine would benefit the 'military industrial complex' wouldn't they be keen to pull the same strings as they normally do to increase gov spending?

Unless there are other big donors who have interests in halting Ukraine funding... Israel/Aipac for instance would maybe rather keep the attention on their conflict & don't want Ukraine competing for the same US dollars?

Or do Republicans make an exception to obeying their donor overlords if it means disagreeing with the dems? (though I feel this would require more backbone than they have)
