Israel is more important to the states than Ukraine (or Russia’s proximity to NATO)

No. It's republicans that are blocking Ukraine aid.

If the President can go around Congress on Israel, he can do it for Ukraine if he wanted to.

Not necessarily. Israel has a lot of special carveouts built into US law specifically for it. For example, they're the only country that can spend US military aid money on their own suppliers.

How much money have you guys been sending to Israel throughout the last 2 decades alone vs. how much money was sent to Ukraine. You guys have money to support genocidal apartheid maniacs (including israeli terrorist settlers) but cut funds when it comes to Ukraine.

But yes, blame the republicans. Woo! Republicans.

How much money was sent to Israel during Biden’s administration, Obama’s administration?

Woo! Republicans.

But remember, vote blue no matter who ❤️

Republicans are actively blocking any funding for Ukraine. Meanwhile funding for Israel is passing through the house easily. It is literally their fault.

Stop being a dipshit.

Republicans are actively blocking any funding for Ukraine.

I don't even think this is strictly true. Republicans simply don't have a majority to pass a budget of any kind, and no one in the party is willing to compromise with the Democrats to pass a bipartisan bill. Even when the GOP has all three branches, they struggled to pass anything. They're just bad at legislating.

Ukraine is collateral damage.

That's the trick of the GOP... literally all they do is obstruct and destroy any sort of progress the Democrats do end up making lol.

Ukraine produces 25% of europes food and 70% of the world industrial neon, which is needed for chip production. A famine in europe and giving control over chip production for the next 5 years to russia and china is a lot worse than losing our middle east stronghold.
