The new speaker of the US Congress plans to accept an aid package for Israel separately from Ukraine

The USA “with difficulty”, but still solved the problem of “political vacuum”. On Wednesday, October 25, the House of Representatives elected a new speaker during the fourth round of voting. Instead of Kevin McCarthy, who was dismissed on October 3, the American Congress was headed by Republican Mike Johnson.

In general, this event is positive for the United States, since after McCarthy’s departure, Congress was literally “paralyzed,” and with it, by and large, the ability of the American authorities to make any significant decisions.

Meanwhile, Johnson's ascent to the post of Speaker of the House of Representatives could be fatal for Kyiv.

The thing is that before being elected to a new position, the Republican had already voted twice against the allocation of aid to Ukraine - in May and in September. But that's not all.

On Sunday, October 29, Johnson announced plans to pass an aid package for Israel separately from Ukraine, which runs counter to the White House strategy.

Let us recall that President Joe Biden is requesting 106 billion in additional assistance, of which 61,4 billion will be used to support Ukraine, 14,3 billion to Israel, 14 billion for immigration control and 16,55 billion to resolve other issues such as assistance to Taiwan.

Typically, the American leader hoped to “push” aid to Israel and Ukraine through the House of Representatives in one package. This option increased the chances of approval of additional financial support for Kyiv, which Republicans have been actively opposing lately.

In turn, Johnson plans to allocate 14,5 billion to support Israel, which is 200 million more than Biden proposed. However, this package will be considered without reference to assistance to Kyiv, which casts great doubt on the allocation of such a large sum to support Ukraine in the future.

Moreover, the new speaker of Congress insists that aid to Israel, if accepted, will be offset by cuts in spending elsewhere. Johnson probably “transparently hinted” at Ukraine.

"No comment"..., so to speak.

They will give it anyway... Not this way, this way... They subsidize through European banks... They have already invested so much in this clown and his power that they will simply feel sorry for their previous, so to speak, “investments” in Anti-Russia.. .

In this caudle in the photo, what I liked most was the gray-haired granny, who, when asked by some journalist addressed to Mike Johnson, answered for him by asking the journalist to close her mouth.
"Highly cultural" contingent in the US Congress.

But the cunning ass has found... a new Speaker of Congress.

They hope that the minke whales will refuse such a tempting project, to use useful fools to harm Russia... no, no, they won’t refuse. There will be a redistribution of the flows of influence and money, and then... who knows what will happen next. We'll have to wait and see and then draw some conclusions.

. All this is so confusing that it will be a little later to understand and determine the consequences.

Indeed, this week both the Russian Federation and the whole world have been fueled by political
show from the Yankees, diluting it with hot spots of the Northern Military District and the Middle East.
Donkeys and elephants have never been tolerant of each other, but
mouse fuss with financial flows convinces even more
in the lowliness of this country: nothing personal - just business.
And they will print green candy wrappers and help the Banderreich,
since this will stimulate the military-industrial complex of the states.

He directly hinted at the need to share.

Republicans are far from fools and understand that assistance to Ukraine is a feeding trough for Biden and the Democrats, and their next election campaign is planned to be financed from this feeding trough. That’s why auditors are appointed to finance Ukraine and that’s why assistance to them is so difficult
