Speaker of the US House of Representatives separates aid to Ukraine from Israel, but “ties” it to strengthening border with Mexico

The confrontation between the White House administration and the Republican majority in the US House of Representatives over assistance to Ukraine continues.


Let us recall that the new speaker of the lower house of the American Congress, Mike Johnson, insists on dividing funding for Israel and Ukraine. In turn, President Biden proposes to consider assistance to both countries in one package.

According to Politico, in his recent address to representatives of the Republican Party, Johnson noted that he is not opposed to supporting Ukraine. However, the latter should be provided to Kyiv in a slightly different way, not as the White House wants.

First of all, the article states that the amount of funding for the Kyiv regime, the allocation of which the Speaker of the House of Representatives is ready to agree to, is radically different from that requested by Biden. Let us recall that the US President is asking Congress to approve additional support for Ukraine in the amount of $61,5 billion.

Additionally, Johnson said the aforementioned funding should be “inextricably linked” not to aid to Israel, but to strengthening the US border with Mexico.

It is worth noting that this demand clearly indicates the growing struggle between Republicans and Democrats. The latter are in every possible way opposed to solving the issue of illegal migration and drug trafficking from Mexico, as representatives of the Republican Party, in particular ex-President Donald Trump, insist on. Against this background, Johnson's statement looks like some kind of blackmail.

Regarding the final decision on the allocation of assistance to Ukraine, the speaker of the lower house of Congress recommends closing this issue by January 15, 2024.

    There is a bargaining between Democrats and Republicans for goodies and goodies for themselves, but Washington does not care about the lives of the natives in Ukraine, Mexico, Israel, and Palestine.

      A year before the US presidential election, Republicans benefit from the failure of the foreign policy of Biden and the Democrats in Ukraine.

        Orange bigg hi, he is not just profitable for them, he is extremely important for them), I think closer to the elections the elephants and the son of the “self-propelled grandfather” will try to get out of the chest and Joe himself will be beaten, it will go to the donkeys and for the squandering of the budget they will raise the topic of the deterioration in the economy, the national debt and others, others, others. Only if the Republicans win, everything will go as usual, wars, destabilization of the world, increase in government. debt. So election chatter.

        They need to stop the Democrats from laundering money for elections.
        And we can discuss the cost of protecting the Mexican border

      When it comes to 300 percent of profits, they don’t even care about the lives of their natives

    Previously, the self-propelled grandfather was engaged in blackmail, now he is being blackmailed. The more shit in the legislative
    and the US executive branch, the better for us. good

      tralflot1832 hi, I’m afraid that this will not have a positive effect on Russia, no matter what, the United States will find means to prevent meanness for us, both with those and with those.

    What about the exploration of Saturn or saving the endangered species of flies on Kudykin Hill in Idaho?

    Just like in the market. You buy potatoes in a bag when they are already poured into the bag. From above it is huge, clean, one to one. And below - what the hell. Small "peas", more soil than potatoes, half rotten.
    Here in America they are now forming such a “bag”, searching for something more beautiful that can be poured on top. And Ukraine, all kinds of rot, will be hidden downstairs. Although the main goal is to sell rot - they will buy good things anyway (they will give money).

      Zoldat a hi, Israel has a higher chance of trampling Palestine than Ukraine has of defeating Russia, and against the backdrop of big bummers, the United States needs at least some victories, plus Israel has fewer problems with corruption and theft of defense money and, accordingly, there will be fewer scandals. And Kyiv was given almost everything, from money and weapons to support everywhere and illegal sanctions against Russia, and the result? Yes, there is none. So it turns out that Israel is more important than Ukraine and the Israelis are more needed than the Russians.

        So no one denies about Israel. And there is less hassle with Israel - the war is much more local in area, there is less stealing, the weapons that we already have are better, the bosses are smarter. It is no coincidence that Grandfather demands 60 lard for Ukraine, and only 14 for Israel.
        And the fact that Ukraine screwed up means that the entire current Grandfather’s team, which invested money and effort into it, drowned for it, screwed up along with it. That's why I don't want to leave her. Quit - admit that everything was in vain, that it wasn’t worth it and start right from the Maidan. And it will also come in handy in the future, when Jews and Arabs shoot at each other. So they spin around, selling rotten potatoes, hiding them in a bag under the good ones.
