Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) announced Friday that he will strip funding for Ukraine out of a Pentagon spending bill after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) joined conservatives in blocking the legislation from advancing earlier this week.
McCarthy said he would remove the $300 million for Ukraine currently in the Pentagon appropriations bill and hold a separate vote on the funding.
“It would be out and voted on by itself,” McCarthy said when asked about the Ukraine aid in the Pentagon appropriations bill.
The Speaker’s announcement comes one day after a band of five conservatives opposed a procedural vote for the Pentagon appropriations bill, sinking the effort and preventing the legislation from moving forward. It was the second time this week that hard-liners blocked the funding bill from advancing.
Well, we know what happens, look at: Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Niger, Uganda, Kenya, Pakistan, Yemen
I do not see any improvements on these countries that we helped get democracy and freedom?
Am i missing something?
Peace tallks would always be the solution to the problems in the end, when it comes to areas close to superpowers.
Ukraine already is a democracy, being invaded by a dictatorship. We’re not trying to establish one from scratch, as in Afghanistan. A free country is begging for help so it can protect itself. You are siding quite unambiguously with the aggressor.
Peace talks with Russia mean Russia won. It means launching an aggressive war worked. It means Russia will launch another aggressive war. It means China will invade Taiwan. The only peaceful end to this war is with Russia losing and with its complete withdrawal from Ukrainian territory. Anything other than that is not peace but the start of further bloodshed.
Well, I would consider looking at it in a different way.

I’m not watching your pro-fascist videos.
Sticking your head in the sand is not going to help you learn more of the world.
You need to be willing to see other views different from yours.
I hope you continue to keep learning and talking to people that differ from your bubbles, as I try to.
Thank you for the small talk and have a great day!
