Boy, this seems like slander since this was proven to be false. Was it not?

Shocker! Republicans in DC are not serious, just like republicans in Austin. Lie to your constituents to get elected and then just run out the clock legislative cycle after legislative cycle while everything ratchets leftward. Then, make sure and throw your hands up and whine about vote margins, no matter if in power or not. Do nothing.

Does Putin stop with Ukraine? No so what is next logical step for Putin that does not advance U.S. into a larger War?

Ya, he probably does.

The objective is stalemate for 2024. That's been stated by many and the media even runs with that now.

Until one of two things happen (1) West Ukroane joins NATO or (2) Europe takes their turn in 2025 to fund that year until (1) can get done.
So why would Johnson support stalemate for 2024, while reversing his previous stance and giving Dems an election year win to do so?

Is he a closet supporter of the Biden administration?

Because the larger plan is to admit them to NATO and they want Ukraine to maintain as much of their landmass integrity as they can before they can make that happen.

Johnson has said it's a principle decision for him regardless of party politics.
Here's where I get totally confused.

Russia has been understandably concerned with NATO being an aggressor/encroacher since 1990, when they opposed the addition of former sattelite states of Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. NATO added insult to injury in 2004 with the additions of former Soviet states Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, & Slovenia, followed by two more in 2009, Albania and Croatia.

[...]

I guess I missed it when NATO invaded Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. And again in 2004. Did NATO send in troops to destroy farmland, shell cities, knock out the power infrastructure, kill their citizens, and kidnap their children? I guess the evil Obama regime just memory-holed all that so we wouldn't notice. Sneaky.

Where did I say that NATO invaded anyone?

Are you saying that it is unreasonable to assume Russia might view NATO expansion as a threat worth acting upon? If you are, that is a colossally naive view of the Russian perspective.

He's not going to get all of Ukraine regardless of what we do. It stops there. This is irrational fearmongering. The only question is where the split in Ukraine is ultimately drawn, how many Ukranians die due to the war prolonging, and how many more in the war machine get rich.

They promised the same thing to McCarthy.

Until they decided the political gain of the narrative of a Republican majority in chaos was just too good to pass up.

Speaker Johnson should realize any trust in the Democrats is at his own peril.

Any Russian that is part of Putin's military that's invading Ukraine certainly deserves to be killed.

Shocker, our resident big gov advocate wants to spend more money on a foreign war instead of prioritizing our own border….

We get it you have a bad history with Russia. But don't let that cloud rational decision making that effects the rest of America…

I am not Christian. Christ also said to give away all posessions, which I guess we are following so congrats!

Scripture from a Judean man 2000 years ago with many conflicting interpretations based on which gospel or Paulean letter you choose is not and should not be our basis for foreign policy.

In addition, there are a wide variety of thoughts on the historical Jesus based on the gospels. Based on some LBTQ pastors, we should probably do Communism too!

It's not. The senate was not going to accept a combined bill. It wasn't going to happen. And Biden wasn't going to sign it.
