President Biden wants the world to believe that the biggest obstacle facing Ukraine is Republicans and our lack of commitment to the global community. This is wrong.
Ukraine’s challenge is not the G.O.P.; it’s math. Ukraine needs more soldiers than it can field, even with draconian conscription policies. And it needs more matériel than the United States can provide. This reality must inform any future Ukraine policy, from further congressional aid to the diplomatic course set by the president.
The Biden administration has applied increasing pressure on Republicans to pass a supplemental aid package of more than $60 billion to Ukraine. I voted against this package in the Senate and remain opposed to virtually any proposal for the United States to continue funding this war. Mr. Biden has failed to articulate even basic facts about what Ukraine needs and how this aid will change the reality on the ground.

Follow the money.
I don’t think you have to follow the money we have an isolationist wing in the republican party which is pushing very hard to prevent us from getting involved in foreign conflicts.
I would agree follow the money in terms of donations.

No, American patriots kept us safe through WW 2 but the neocons squandered any potential peace and prosperity by getting us into Vietnam, Iraq, Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan. After 9/11 we should have bonbed every village with more than two raped goats in Afghanistan. Vietnam and Iraq were never our problem. Oh, and neocon a-holes were all about importing millions of Muslims to the point that they are affecting our elections and domestic politics. Neocons are a curse on the Republic and hell is too good a place for them.
Yay for having a "service economy."
