I don’t know about that. Funding Ukraine has become a bullshit flashpoint


For extremists. The rwnj wing has all the power now, but there are dem far lefties who, maybe quietly, seem to agree with them. It doesn’t make dollars and “sense”. Our funding for Ukraine is a tiny, insignificant slice of our budget. It’s a bargain compared with what it will cost if Xi and Putin decide our political extremes have left us too weak to stick to our guns. It’s also a bargain compared with what Europe is spending as a % of their gdp.

So, I’m fine either way. I think including it in the CR is only a big deal because rwnjs needed to squawk about something. Anything. Just to protest compromise in govt. They just want to prevent govt from working. Ukraine wound up being their symbolic “win”. It’s all theater.
