Meanwhile Republicans holding aid hostage for petty domestic points.
Election year over here. Sunak wants to look like a dynamic world leader, rather than a lily-livered frightened little rich boy.
It’s election year here too. It’s just that one of our parties has decided any coppers with the other or compromise on literally anything or even just governing at all means the president gets re-elected and that they’d rather burn the world down than allow that to happen. Also they’re pro Putin
Yikes.
This is a parliamentary democracy Vs your style democracy thing. To become prime minister you have to have a majority of representatives be elected to your party. If the house was blocking him and voting down things he'd basically be forced to call an election right away.
And Democrats are damned if they do and damned if they don't because they know Europe will step up to the plate if America stops funding Ukraine out of sheer desperation. And Republicans want to harm our relations with the EU, so they're all for that.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sunak’s visit comes at a tense moment after UK and US launched air and missile strikes in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, aimed at halting attacks on ships in the Red Sea.
The crisis in the Middle East as Israel continues to bombard Gaza has also turned global attention away from the Russian president Vladimir Putin’s invasion of the country.
The UK and US, with support from allies Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands, hit at least 60 targets in 16 locations around Yemen overnight on Thursday.
Announcing his visit to Kyiv, Sunak said: “For two years, Ukraine has fought with great courage to repel a brutal Russian invasion.
They play a critical role.” British drone manufacturers would be able to test “innovative and competitive” designs in real conditions on the battlefield, he suggested.
“Today we are going further – increasing our military aid, delivering thousands of cutting-edge drones, and signing a historic new security agreement to provide Ukraine with the assurances it needs for the long term.”
