More Money for Ukraine, House Republicans Say
Voters elected Republicans in 2024 because they were tired of globalism. Washington is not even pretending to care.
The GOP-controlled House of Representatives passed legislation authorizing funding for more military aid to Ukraine on Thursday, showing that lawmakers are totally unbothered by the public’s pleas to stop involving our country in distant wars that do not serve American interests. The final vote tally was 226-95; an overwhelming victory for those seeking to blow U.S. tax dollars on foreign agendas.
The bill offers U.S. support for Ukraine’s reconstruction, lays out new anti-Russia sanctions, adds additional security assistance for Baltic countries, and provides Ukraine with loans to purchase weapons. We have yet to hear a compelling case for how any of that helps the American people, nor how it will bring this war to a close. The proposal is a continuation of the Biden strategy, which actively reduced the chances of peace.
