‘What is happening is not organic’
Maybe Dems shouldn't have tried to shoehorn Israel funding into that bill if they really gave a shit about Ukraine. Yes we all know Republicans are awful, I'm getting pretty tired of hearing how Dems are "the good guys".

Eh, I don't think Ukraine has a chance of winning without foreign troops.
While I, too, absolutely support NATO putting boots on the ground in Ukraine, it's neither necessary nor going to happen.

Where is EU with their funding? Surely the threat of having a neighboring nation would sway into helping more right? Right?

Too much “Republican = Russia” nonsense. Truth is that Republicans never gave a wet fart about Ukraine or Russia, and they see an opportunity here to put the White House over a barrel to score a big win before the election. All of Eastern Europe is just a bargaining chip to score domestic wins.
Nonsense. Pleasing Putin is just as important as pleasing Trump to republicans. In fact it’s their number one priority at this point.
I doesn't matter why they are doing it, just that they are even considering it.
Too much “Republican = Russia” nonsense.
I'm sorry that reality is uncomfortable for you. But it doesn't change the truth.

I hate Putin. I don't want Ukrainians to suffer. At the same time America is not the world's police.
