These 112 House Republicans voted against Ukraine aid - Lemmy.World

* The House passed a more than $60 billion bill that provides more military aid to Ukraine. * It’s part of a larger foreign aid package that’s likely to pass the Senate and be signed into law. * 112 Republicans voted it against — the most ever, and a majority of the GOP conference. *** … Saturday’s vote marked the first time the House had approved billions of dollars in Ukraine aid since December 2022, when Democrats still controlled the chamber. In the two years since Russia’s invasion, opposition to aiding Ukraine has grown from a fringe position [https://www.businessinsider.com/which-house-republicans-voted-gaetz-end-military-aid-ukraine-2023-7] to a majority view among House GOP lawmakers. Many argue the money should be spent domestically or that policy changes at the US-Mexico border should take precedence. Here are the 112 House Republicans [https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024151] who voted against the bill.

I agree with these 112 morons. We shouldn’t send aid to Ukraine.

He already is winning. Look at a map of controlled areas by Russia vs ukraine. Watch analysis by Scott Ritter and John mersheimer.

Actually I’d prefer analysis base din reality, not some far right fantasy.

Your classification of them as far right says everything about your ignorance. Is everyone who doesn’t agree with you far right? Did you know that both soctt and John consider what’s going in palestine a genocide? Or can you not comprehend nuance and just like to stay in an echo chamber where you feel validated with your beliefs?

Nah, they’re not far right. One’s a sex offender and the other spews Putin’s words as truths, despite evidence to the contrary. Facts keep changing, yet mearsheimer’s “beliefs” do not. To him Putin isn’t an imperialist dictator despite the fact that he keeps annexing more and more land to russia by invading sovereign countries and has been “president” for over 2 decades while his opponents keep falling out of windows and such. 2014 was a coup, obviously, because Ukrainians couldn’t possibly be opposed to getting closer to Russia, etc, etc.

Please…

Putin thought he would take Ukraine in a matter of days. It’s been years.

The ruble has been hit hard by all the sanctions. The Russian economy has been weakened to divert funds to a war inept Russia can’t even finish. Russia’s infrastructure and money-producing assets like their Oil Refineries are being attacked by Ukrainians and partisans within Russia.

Are Russians killing a lot of Ukrainians? Yeah sure. Maybe that’s what Putin considers winning? Ultimately, he’s fucking over Russia for a war he can’t finish.
