Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will arrive on Capitol Hill to a darker mood than when he swooped in last winter for a hero’s welcome, as the Russian invasion is grinding into a third year and U.S. funding hangs in balance.

Zelenskyy’s visit Tuesday comes as President Joe Biden’s request for an additional $110 billion U.S. aid package for Ukraine, Israel and other national security needs is at serious risk of collapse in Congress. Republicans are insisting on strict U.S.-Mexico border security changes that Democrats decry as draconian in exchange for the overseas aid.

“It is maddening,” said Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., a close ally of Biden, of the stalemate. “A very bad message to the world, to the Ukrainian people.”

    Do any of you have any actual evidence to back up this assertion either way or is this thread inundated with people talking out of their assholes?

    🤔 I wonder what kind of a clever comeback you’ll offer in lieu of evidence, like you did the other guy down below.

          Sorry, once the downvote avalanche has started it does not stop.

          People will assume you’re wrong before even reading your comment.

          Anything but unwavering support for Ukraine means you’re a Russian bot. Those profiting off the MIC have deemed it necessary.

            I actually support the Ukraine war wholeheartedly but the bots have inundated the platform irrevocably, it seems.

            Those bots are often run by users seeking to curbstomp others in arguments, by the by. It’s not companies doing it. Just human nature at work.

      Evidence of what? One thing that’s clear, those always quick to ask for evidence are those that have not read much and have no other response to the point. So they make the OP do their research work for them.

        So in other words, your claim the Ukraine war is fostering American jobs is baseless and you don’t know what you’re talking about.

        Thanks for making it obvious.

            Until you accept burden of proof is on you and offer evidence for your claims, it doesn’t matter.

                You literally could have just done that in the beginning and spared yourself a whole lot of agony instead of expecting other people to verify your claims for you.

                That’s how a debate works. Burden of proof is on you, not anyone else. Remember that.

                  It’s common sense though that us weapons manufacture happens in the US… It’s kinda in the name.

                    It literally doesn’t matter. Just because it is consistent with what you want to hear doesn’t make it true and when we make claims, we back them up with evidence instead of being selfish and lazy and expecting everyone else to just submit to our whims. He has the obligation to prove his claims regardless.

                  Yes I should have done something simple that anyone can but are too lazy to do on demand. Mea culpa

                    Yes you selfish entitled brat, you should have done something it is your responsibility to do whenever you make a positive claim instead of expecting everyone else to do work for you.

                    You don’t know a damn thing about debate or even talking to anyone, and you need to sit down and shut up.

                It’s not hard, you’re just angry you got called out for doing something wrong, that’s all.

                Now you have two choices: you can prove that you’re an ignorant, emotional, immature moron by pressing the point or you can actually go learn how you’re supposed to think critically and debate.

                I won’t hold my breath.

                  a random blog post isn’t an authoritative source on the matter

                  maybe try again?
