House Speaker Mike Johnson is reportedly coming around to the idea of Ukraine aid as long as he can score a political win, according to NYT reporting.

Yes the US aid to Ukraine is a win win for the US but so many people just see how it works, they think all the money is being sent out the country which is totally false. As an example It's basically like the government will exchange your old car to donate it to another country and give you a brand new American built one for free, it actually means Ukraine get all the older weapons but the aid package pays for new replacements for the US Army/Air Force, it's a win win deal. I just don't know how much more Speaker Johnson can lie about this issue without committing political suicide and looking like a Kremlin operative, if it goes to the vote even the republicans will vote in favour of it.

So you take the money from selling Russian assets. I agree with that. Then you give it to Ukraine but they have to pay it back. Pay it back to who? The money will not belong to the US. I understand that Ukraine will have to repay American money for weapons that are sent on a lend lease program, but proceeds from Russian assets? Doesn't seem right to me.

You are correct and here's the thing that moves Americans don't realize there is still a back Channel between the Republican party and Kremlin. Let Donald Trump win in November thanks to Paul manafort he is simply going to let Ukraine lose to Russia eventually leading to his point about NATO if they are delinquent that includes the two new members Finland and Sweden to be invaded by Russia. This is due to the fact that the Republican party is no longer the party of Ronald Reagan against the Russians they are the party of Kremlin
USA: "We'll aid you unconditionally. Russia is invading a free country." Republicans: "Here are our conditions and they have nothing to do with you!"
Come back now and pass this aid! You’re playing with peoples lives! Speaker Johnson-show your compassion and get this passed with a bipartisan vote.

Okay, I agree with you. However, the funds were needed yesterday, and if making them available as a loan rather than an entitlement will help defeat Russia sooner, the damage prevented will outweigh the loan. Loans are always by contract and in this case will have to comply with international law. Sometimes their are clauses in these contracts that can only be described as loopholes. They can be written in such a way as to allow Ukraine to avoid repayment indefinitely making the loan a loan on paper only. And...there are other conditions that can be inserted into the contract to eventually convert the loan into an actual grant. This will give Moscow Mike his "win" and release the funds in a more timely manner than fighting to make the a grant. I know it seems like legal Akido but that is the way the political winds are blowing. 😂"I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today"😂

It is, to my knowledge, the value of the given weapons, when they were new. Some of the donated ammunition and weapons are approaching the end of their usage time. These would have to recycled which can be costly. Furthermore, all these donated things will be manufactured in USA. This generates advertisements for USA defense industry, as usually those USA systems kick Russian butt. Although now it seems that some people in USA are collaborating with Russia, which will encourage democracies to purchase their weapons elsewhere.

The three memoranda were originally signed by three nuclear powers: Russia, the United States and the United Kingdom.[1] China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents.

the aid the US sends to Ukraine is old stock with the dollar value of NEW replacement arms attached to it, which includes the profit the arms manufacturers want. The US never sent arms anywhere near as valuable as the US government says it did. Loans are a non-starter as the aid isn’t worth the price of replacement news arms, most of the aid would eventually be decommissioned or sold overseas for pennies on the dollar.

This is a repeat of 1939. The situation was identical then. And when everyone realized the danger, it was already too late
Speaker Johnson has some serious issues. A simple up or down vote, please. The world depends on it. This is a turning point in world history and security.

It's a very simple solution. Bring the aid package passed by the Senate up for a freaking vote. It's not that hard.

what have you done about that - other than bleating on youtube? How many rallies have you been to, who have you called / emailed / picketed? How much of your money have you sent? Americans have plenty of opinion and deliver no action. I regularly contact my MP and the PM and remind them that I want taxes raised to support Ukraine AND I send my own money directly when I can.....do you?

@lindaSmith6588 you must be older or out-of touch. I'm 33. I don't know one person that supports Ukraine personally. We need to take care of home 1st
Can you provide me with an update on the progress of the GOP's efforts to oust Johnson?
Dealing with the gqp is like dealing with petulant children.
You can't give a people freedom, they have to grab it with both hands. Then you support them with everything you've got. Slava Ukraine.

You are right. We should proceed with the Hakeem Jeffries coalition who know and care about our self defense and international relationships and give Ukraine what it needs to win quickly and decisively.
Hopefully with the upcoming we will have a new speaker to do the people's work ...
always trust the us to do the right thing after they tried everything else

And *Not* Ukraine.
I am totally OK with trading natural gas builds for aid for Ukraine!!! 🇺🇦
It is incumbent on the U.S. to carry out its assistance to Ukraine until the aggressor gives up, and it is incumbent on the U.S. to do so for the efforts of its predecessors. Let us not forget that the American people, in World War II, based on the principles of freedom, independence, and anti-aggression, provided enormous aid to the communist Soviet Union to the very end, until Hitler, the aggressor, gave in.
We need to stop finding other countries and worry about ours
They should be ashamed I can’t believe we are thinking about helping Ukraine 🇺🇦 our country is going backwards because of Donald Trump and his Republicans evils

So Mike Johnson alone can block the existing aid package from being VOTED ON unless he personally gets a win that he likes. How does he have this power? Where are the checks and balances?
Never forget Helsinki (where putin nick named trump "sore knees, full belly" after their closed door meeting with no Americans allowed).
