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.
I showed very clearly that was not true. Why are you lying?
Because Iām not lying. The commenter said;
I felt my response was proportional. He disrespected me, I disrespected him. You think Iām hostile, Iām demonstrating that Iām not trying to be. Why are you so invested in proving me wrong?
Would you like me to start quoting other times you have been rude to people who werenāt rude to you? Because I will be happy to do so from now on.
If you think it would be helpful, sure.
