Zelenskyy straight-up said Ukraine is going to lose if Congress doesn't send more aid
In his starkest warning yet, President Zelenskyy said that "Ukraine will lose the war" to Russia if Congress does not act to send it more aid.
- President Zelenskyy warned that Ukraine would lose the war if the US didn't send it more aid.
- House Republicans have been stalling on a $60 billion aid package for Ukraine.
- "It is necessary to specifically tell Congress that if Congress does not help Ukraine, Ukraine will lose," he said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday that his country "will lose the war" against Russia if Congress does not act to send it more aid, Agence France-Presse reported.
"It is necessary to specifically tell Congress that if Congress does not help Ukraine, Ukraine will lose the war," he said, per AFP.
For months, House Republicans have stalled on a bill containing $60 billion in aid for Ukraine, stipulating that it should also include increased funding for security at the US southern border.
As an American, it is infuriating and heartbreaking to see these psychotic dipshits in Congress actively working to consign an entire fucking country of 60 million people who WANT to integrate more closely with the US and Europe to being one of Putin’s puppet states.
I sincerely hope the GOP either lets this go through or loses power in the next couple weeks. Both outcomes are actually realistic possibilities at this point.
We gave the Republicans a version with everyone they asked for, and they still voted against it.
Republicans never argue in good faith, and bending over backwards to give them what they want just shows them they can demand even worse terms next time.
Republicans are going to cost this country and theirs fucking everything . Whatever happens to Ukraine I hope the GOP receives 10 fold
It's Zelenskyy's job to say that. But if he doesn't get it he'll be in a tough situation with his troops assuming he tries to backpedal that and encourage them to keep fighting.
I don't understand why Europe isn't more involved in shutting this situation down. It's your goddamn borders at risk if this smoldering fire isn't put out.
As conservatives cheer.
Conservatism is death.
Republicans doing typical Republican things to no one's benefit.
That said, I don't think aid in the form of sending more arms over is right. The proper humanitarian course of action would have been to send a coalition of troops over to Ukraine to forcefully shut the situation down. So many lives would have been saved had we done this earlier.
Instead we have chosen to let the war drag on by sending weapons and supplies, letting both Ukrainians and Russians(many of which who aren't there by choice) slaughter each other.
Sending troops over runs a huge risk of causing the war to spread, bring more, wider-spread suffering. The us would love to do just that, but it comes with such a massive risk which is why they aren't.
The USA sending troops would basically cause WWIII to kick off. No one wants that.
Could help Palestine in the same fashion. Send in a coalition from everywhere except key players. Get serious with retaliatory attacks on aggressors.
It's possible yes, but you also have to consider that perhaps Russia might not have ever invaded if we had shown that we were willing to fight.
A large part of the invasion was the fact that they knew they could get away with it. They know that we're just going to watch on the sidelines, providing some support from time to time. The people scared of a World War seem to forget that World War II started while the major powers at the time allowed Poland to be conquered before doing anything.
These are Russian talking points under the guise of practical middle path. Fuck you. Slava Ukraine. Don't blame them for fighting back and ignoring the fact foreign boots equal Putin's finger on the button. "Just give them a little farming land, the locals want it"
Can't tell if you're being ingenuine intentionally or just misunderstanding.
This is far from a middle path. This is the path of aggressively standing between Russia and Ukraine. No where did I ever say that I blame Ukraine for fighting back either. They're doing what is necessary, but the fighting shouldn't have ever been necessary if other countries from around the world were willing to put their troops down and tell Russia no.
As for Putin and the nukes, I really don't get it. It's always going to be this way with Russia. Are you just going to let them take more and more? If Russia invades the rest of Europe are they just not going to fight back because Putin has the capacity to nuke them? At some point there will be a confrontation between Russia and other countries from the world. How much are people going to be willing to give up out of fear that nuclear weapons will be used?
How long until either Hamas or Russia decides to go for the snake’s head?
EDIT: why the downvotes? Y’all too young to remember 9/11?
I hope quickly, so the world can finally rest easy when Putin is dead.
They be teasing us with the news he had cancer a while back
Russia's new strategy is to take it slow. Hence why they just created two new army for defense in Ukraine. They aren't looking to risk trying to finish this quickly.
Makes complete sense. If they get Trump soon then all support will be pulled from Ukraine, possibly US Removal from NATO, and if they are super lucky they might even get US intelligence passed on to help them...
The hard truth is it doesn't matter how much aid we send, Ukraine is in a losing position. They need more than aid to win and that's the problem
Russia's already lost. They traded their entire military export market for a piece of land.
Their trade with China, Iran and North Korea is through the roof. It may not be as diverse or lucrative as western trade, but it's good enough to keep them in decent shape.
Physical destruction needs to be visited upon Putin. The financial pressure will not be enough.
More weapo… aid
Weaponaid? Is that what Chuck Norris drank instead of Gaatorade? ;)
