MTG and Boebert will be dining out at the finest roadside BBQ restaurant in their districts tonight

It's sad to watch these world leaders who understand long strategy use the short American attention span to twist global politics to their own ends.

Ruble isn't doing great tho 🤣
That's fine, he'll just take the money out of one of his Swiss bank accounts.
I could have sworn that The Swiss froze all Russian accounts. Like I vaguely remember a major headline that The Swiss had broken a several hundred year "neutrality" streak.
I think it's OK to put the blame where appropriate here. "U.S. Republican Congressional pawns."
The headline is a bit misleading, as you can see in the 2nd paragraph of the submission text, it's the current round of assistance that has halted, and they're pushing for Congress to continue their support of Ukraine.
Purposely so, that site was using sources and links to RT news.
Yeah, the site is suspect. The article uses the Russian spelling "Kiev" instead of the Ukranian "Kyiv," which is a giveaway that the site might be spreading Russian propaganda. Also:
Argentina seems to show a particularly interesting trend. The country has the region’s highest number of RT online readers, and, in 2014, it was one of the first countries in the region to allow RT to broadcast on public television. Current Argentine President Alberto Fernandez has since added Telesur, the Venezuelan television network, to his country’s basic national television service. Telesur now streams Russian propaganda and disinformation to 83% of the Argentine population. Given the reach of these outlets, it is an unlikely coincidence that 67.4% of Argentinian residents said in 2020 that they view Russia favorably.

And it's not that it has halted.
It has concluded.
It being halted would mean that that which was meant to be allocated is stopped from being allocated before all of it was allocated.
It's clear that Ukraine is of "National Security Interests". So I vote we just take a lil bit of the budget allocated for military spending and use it where it would be best served.
it's mostly a gear refresh for our military anyway. we send them stuff we have stockpiled, then we spend the allocated money on new shit for us.

Funny how are government starts fucking up the war most Americans support AND fucking up the other one that most Americans don't support.
One of those effects the transfer of capital far more than the other. The whole reason we have a navy is to police international waters for commerce.

Take the Israel weapon donations, ship them through a sketchy ukranian subcontractor in Ukraine, "lose them" in such a way the ukraine government "aquires" them. Two problems solved.

We could send all of the people fighting the war on drugs, they're used to achieving nothing.
Most cops would never make it through that much required training, tbh.
