International Biden Administration Considers Attaching Ukraine to Urgent Israel Aid Package

[Orgasmo]

What do you think? Since Republicans will always vote yes on Israel but might reject Ukraine, is this a slick move?

The White House is considering a move to attach Ukraine funding to a request for urgent aid to Israel, according to several people familiar with the deliberations, in the hopes that such a pairing would increase the chance that Congress would approve aid to Kyiv despite growing opposition from House Republicans.

No final decisions have been made on whether to link the requests, said two senior administration officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations. One of the officials said such a move could make sense because it “jams the far right,” which is firmly opposed to more Ukraine aid but strongly supportive of aid to Israel.

Hamas support comes from Iran and Russia so i don't see why it matters much to split aid apart.

This is 110% normal for how parties get things funded. Attach it to the "Save puppies from being euthanized with a hammer by bad people" act and dare the other side to stop the act.

The United States shouldn't give aid to Ukraine or Israel but they have to make lobbyists happy.

I wonder what the speaker of the House has to say about this..

 

[blaseblase]

Israel doesn't even need our aid though.

Sure?
Aid to Israel usually is like some sum and U.S is getting 4-12x more back in weapons orders for their manufacturers...
So yeah, some xxxx more unemployed specialists in U.S might make you happy?

Israel does have enough ammo and weapons to turn all Gaza sectors in something like Bakhmut. Quickly.
Small area, weapons and ammunition warehouse....

Seems a 2 billion dollar package to Israel was just put out, none for Ukraine in it.

I don’t want to be funding either. Israel has money and I would be OK with them buying stuff from us, but not giving.

Your neighbors house is on fire and your response is to ask for money to fill up the gas tank of the pristine fire engine in your backyard.

Really illustrates the type of children that manage to survive to adulthood these days.

lmao.

More money for other nations while the people in this nation get fucked. Hooray.

 

[skysolo]

Money for a war in Israel. More money for a war in Ukraine.

 

[jrams]

Did Israel give us money after 9/11?

 

[The XL]

Money for a war in Israel. More money for a war in Ukraine.

Our "leaders" don't work for us. They actually directly and intentionally work against our interests at this point. They are not a legitimate government, as they are compromised by foreign governments and multinational corporations. Nothing they do has any legitimacy whatsoever.

Why is anyone giving aid when trillions in debt?

Israel has money. Why can't they spend their own? This is retarded. We are broke.

Was gona post this in a new thread about issues ancillary to the Israel/Hamas attacks.

Ukraine aid should be a stand alone issue.
Israel aid should be a stand alone issue

There is also a push to link aid to Taiwan.
