Pompeo urges Johnson to bring Ukraine aid package to vote
The Hill ^ | 04/08/2024 | Brad Dress

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and a conservative think tank’s president pushed Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to approve more aid to Ukraine in its fight against Russia, arguing that backing Kyiv is vital to securing American freedom and values.

Pompeo, who served in the Trump administration, said in a letter with John Walters, the CEO and president of the Hudson Institute, that protecting Ukraine is connected to issues at home, making the argument as some Republicans, including Johnson, have previously insisted the U.S. must secure the border before sending more aid to Kyiv.

“None of our challenges at home will be made better by abandoning our allies at this time of great need, when they are staring down enemies of the free world,” they wrote, invoking former President Reagan’s doctrine to stand up against totalitarian forces. “The United States remains the indispensable nation. And this is a Time for Choosing. We encourage you to lead, and we will stand with you.”

I was just using your post as a launching point for my tirade against Pompeo…not on you. Your post just made me think of it.

No, this Z doesn’t move any more, to say the least... :
Ukrainians “fixed it” (their way).

In the Vietnam war we started by trying to pull the French colonial chestnuts out of the fire, and got our fingers burned. I think JFK was trying to slow the process down and get out of that mess. Texas big money interests had him killed so they could control LBJ and get those lucrative military construction contracts for building ports and other facilities in Vietnam.

In the Ukraine situation we are trying to prevent a colonial invasion by Russia into territory Putin had already agreed to protect from such invasions in exchange for getting possession of all the nukes remaining in Ukraine. How can one do any negotiating with someone who backs out of and runs over any deal they make, especially the big ones?

You want the GINSCA to win then?

GINSCA: Globo-Islamo-NeoSoviet-Commie-Alliance

It’s composed of North Korea, Russia, IRAN/Hamas, Belarus, China, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua.

Free Republic does not support such Globo Alliance.
Thus, stop supporting it.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Well you support the Globo-Islamo-NeoSoviet-Commie-Alliance instead! lol!

Thus, I understand why you don’t support right wing-Ukraine which cares about its BORDERS and is fighting against NeoSovietism - helping the West.

Progressives like you always want borders to be violated. Why?

By the way, Israel is STILL waiting for the Hanoi-Janes (RHINO’S like Gaetz still blocks any help to our Israeli allies) in Congress to wake up!
