Top White House budget official warns of 'dire' situation on Ukraine aid

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s top budget official warned in stark terms Friday about the rapidly diminishing time that lawmakers have to replenish U.S. aid for Ukraine, as the fate of that money to Kyiv remains tied up in negotiations over immigration where a deal has so far been out of reach.

Shalanda Young, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, stressed that there is no avenue to help Ukraine aside from Congress approving additional funding to help Kyiv as it fends off Russia in a war that is now nearly two years old. While the Pentagon has some limited authority to help Kyiv absent new funding from Capitol Hill, “that is not going to get big tranches of equipment into Ukraine,” Young said Friday.

combine the fact that pro-Russia events are popping up around the world with the likelihood that Russia had a hand in equipping Hamas to attack Israel and the end of US support for Ukraine…

Sure look like a criminal-fascist dictator about to be our new daddy.

Blaming Russia for Hamas lmao. Surely it had nothing to do with the 75 years of brutal oppression.

The anger and resentment was caused by Israel... The funding is coming from outside sources.

All that means is that Hamas lacks the resources to resist genocide on their own. If we expect a people under siege to be able to fight off tanks with rocks, then we’re in support of their extermination.

Oh yeah raping people at music festivals is the best way ever to resist oppression.

You know, I remember when MLK raped people at music festivals. Same with Gandhi. That’s actually how the USA got independence from England; they picked a music festival in England, killed some people there, raped some, killed them too, and paraded their corpses around.

I don't know why it's so hard for some people to understand that you can have 2 evil organizations fighting each other. Unfortunately it's the innocent civilians that pay the price for their deeds.

The genocide is helping Hamas keep power.

The people can’t throw these monkeys off their back, and all they want is eternal war because they’re millenarians who think they’re ordained by god to win in the end.

Israel is beyond delusional to think they can eliminate every single one of them. It’s beside the point anyway since Benny uses Hamas to stay in power, too.
