They’re going to pay the Ukraine Leaders
Like at Thanksgiving, they announced they would not investigate the Fire Alarm Insurrectionist, they are looking at the timing to announce you’ve been stabbed in the back, again.

President Joe Biden is pushing hard for more Ukraine money and resisting, at least so far, Republican efforts to put strong border security provisions into the aid bill.
There are negotiations between the White House and Republicans on the border issue, but so far there has been no breakthrough. It looks more and more as if Biden will try and stonewall the Republicans and get his Ukraine money without strings.
That helps explain why Biden has invited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Washington. Zelensky just attended the inauguration for Argentina’s new president, Javier Milei.
His appearance in Argentina (where he also had a brief dialog with Hungary’s Prime Minister Victor Orbán) is hard to explain as the battlefield situation in Ukraine is deteriorating.
Milei is sympathetic to Ukraine, but Argentina can offer nothing other than sympathy, as the country is bankrupt. (So, too, is Ukraine, but the US and EU are underwriting its budget.)
Zelensky has been invited by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Republican Leader Mitch McConnell to address the US Senate, probably in a closed meeting. House Speaker Mike Johnson also will meet with Zelensky. The Biden administration hopes Zelensky’s appearance will push support for Ukraine aid over the top.

As best as can be determined, the original idea of the Krynky bridgehead was a diversion to force the Russians to use more of its army to fight against the Ukrainians in Krynky. To a certain extent that happened but it does not seem to have had any significant impact on Russian forces fighting elsewhere in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s Marine troops, off and on reinforced but at a high cost, are going precisely nowhere and are losing some of their best soldiers. An Odessa news service called Dumskaya (which means Duma, or Parliament) is calling for the troops in Krynky to be pulled out before they are all destroyed.
Dumskaya journalist Nikolai Larin writes: “Sailors cross the river on improvised means, and most are killed on their way to shore. Those who survived and crossed will be exposed to everything in the arsenal of Russia. From there they do not take out the wounded. People are simply constantly thrown over into the river – wave after wave.”
Speaker Mike Johnson wrote HR 2; the bill Republicans want Biden to enact to get funding - I can’t believe he would walk away from that bill …
Republicans will give Biden 100% of the funding he is demanding for Ukraine. This theater is banal.
Not one more dime to Zelensky.
No more money to any country
No more handouts to illegals.
Where does Biden Barry get billions?
Go back to America first
And let them take care of themselves.
Washington has lost all common sense
