The bigger problem is if we don’t fund Ukraine, it’s a real possibility that NATO countries are next, and that means we are obligated to send troops, not just guns.
I wouldn’t be willing to say Biden is okay with this, but Republicans hold the purse strings, so to avoid possible global war, Biden definitely has to compromise.
I do fully agree that the current state of the GOP is at least partly Dems’ fault for playing ball with people who will stab you, steal the ball, and say they won fair and square.
If we can’t fund Ukraine because of Republicans, that sucks, but it’s life. There’s lots of other countries (like the entirety of NATO) that can temporarily pick up the slack.
Giving Ukraine a pittance and 10x that to Israel so they can commit a genocide and re-enacring trump era policies that come damn close to America committing a genocide is not a good trade off.
And shows how exceptionally out of touch dem leadership is.
Which brings us full circle to depressed turnout and a risk of trump winning.

So, I agree with the basic premise, but I doubt it’s that simple. Global alliances are likely complicated, so the US failing to fund Ukraine emboldens countries like China, Russia, and NK moving forward with their delusions of grandeur.
I fully agree, though, that Israel getting special treatment is inequitable, and Dem leadership is out of touch with the people most likely to vote for them next year. I don’t know about you, but I think Biden getting primaried is a distinct possibility.

The USA isn’t the entire world…
