Das Pentagon verspricht, unmittelbar nach der Abstimmung im Kongress Waffen an die Ukraine zu liefern

Honestly. Dafuq has all of this been for? What did the republicans gain, what message did Biden send, what have the Ukrainians learned.

Biden could have done many things in the interim with draw down authority and congressional petitions. But he didn’t. And maybe his team was playing cynical politics, believing that anti-Ukraine platform was a loser for the republicans.

Whatever Mike Johnson or the GOP gained, we can’t see. They’re still going to send meaningful aid to Ukraine, and the vengeful smooth brain MAGAts won’t remember any delay, only that they “caved”.

The only tinfoil hat thing that I can imagine that would explain why Biden let them hang out to dry this long is that Ukraine was a bit impudent in the planning of their counter offensive last year, got their asses beat a bit, and maybe they need to be a little more obedient with American suggestions if they want full throated support going forward. I hope that thousands of lives weren’t lost just because of pride and hubris like that, but that’s war and politics in the real world.

Or maybe the US has always wanted Ukraine to trade land for “peace”, whereas Ukraine wanted it all back. And that the US wanted Ukraine to be humbled a bit in order to reset their willingness to compromise for a ceasefire.

Not saying any of those things is true or the way it ought to be. More like trying to establish why this stupid, deadly, costly delay in support happened. And don’t just say “GOP opposition”. Of course that’s part of it – bur Biden could have done way more and been more impassioned about it, but they didn’t, for reasons we can’t see and thus have to guess at

When the bill be voted on finally?

Big things are coming 🇺🇦🇮🇱✌️
