So, here’s the short story: McCarthy was ousted because he made a secret deal with the Democrats to fund the Ukraine war forever.
He told Matt Gaetz, and the American people, that he would “not have a blank check” for the Ukraine. Then, after obtaining speakership, he said that actually, he doesn’t think there should be a “blank check” for anything, and he just meant “no blank check” in a general sense, and actually, he thinks the Ukraine should get infinity money forever. He just thinks there should be a pretense of oversight. Or whatever.
Now, with his ouster, the Ukraine doesn’t have any money.
RT:
While Ukraine has publicly distanced itself from the congressional chaos in the US, officials privately admit that there is a lot of anxiety over future deliveries of weapons and financing by its key Western sponsor, Politico reported on Wednesday.
“We are freaking out. For us it is a disaster,” MP Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze was quoted by the outlet as saying.
Maybe this means the unseating of McCarthy really was a very big deal, and it’s going to change the entire path of the future by changing the Ukraine conflict?
I don’t think so.
There were 208 Democrats that voted for removing McCarthy.
All it would have taken is a couple to keep him in power.
And yet, that was the vote – all 208 voted against him.
So, either the Democrats know that the next speaker is going to continue their Ukraine policy, or
the government as a whole wants an excuse to change the Ukraine policy.
Unless you believe that this entire war machine – all of these hundreds of billions of dollars that are changing hands – was incapable of swaying six Democrats to vote for Kevin McCarthy, then it is very obvious that either they know the next Speaker will also support the war, or they are trying to back out of the war.
None of this politics bullsh*t is real.
