The Gaza thing is what definitely killed the Ukraine war.
They were running out of men, but they could have held out for another year, and then after the election, the US could have sent in Polish and Romanian troops backed up by American special forces.
It’s really the funniest thing in the world that American foreign policy is defined by two groups of Israelis arguing over which wars we’re going to fight.
FYI, the US Congress is just an annex of the Knesset.
Here’s the deal: House Republicans would fund the Ukraine if they were told to by AIPAC.
They could frame it as necessary for aid to Israel and they could include some pointless “border security” bullsh*t.
The fact that the Republicans aren’t funding this simply means that the government needs an explanation as to why they are surrendering in the Ukraine.
This was already sort of happening, but now Israel needs the money, so it is definitely happening.
White House budget director Shalanda Young warned in a letter to Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson and other congressional leaders on Monday that the United States was running out of time and money to help Ukraine fight its war with Russia.

“I want to be clear: without congressional action, by the end of the year we will run out of resources to procure more weapons and equipment for Ukraine and to provide equipment from U.S. military stocks,” she wrote. “There is no magical pot of funding available to meet this moment. We are out of money — and nearly out of time.”
