In a tense game of chicken, remarkable for its mix of petulance and audacity, congressional Republicans are threatening to halt U.S. aid to Ukraineāguaranteeing a Russian breakthrough and possible victory in that warāunless Democrats help pass a bill that all but locks down Americaās Southern border.
If the impasse isnāt resolved by the end of next week, when Congress goes on recess until the new year, the Ukrainian army could run out of ammunition. President Joe Biden could resupply the arsenal from U.S. stockpiles without legislative approval, but the move would be temporary, and the signal sentāthat Ukraine, and by implication other allies, can no longer count on U.S. support in a pinchācould be a holiday cork-popper for Russian President Vladimir Putin and all of our other adversaries.
Is it really a gift if you paid for it?
Itās like when your mom used to give you money to buy her a gift for Christmas. Except this time youād be a treasonous rat-faced fucking traitor and your mom would be a Russian asshole.
Every conservative is already a traitor to humanity, so this is kind of on brand. š
Fucking SPOT ON!
