I heard the news on the grapevine and digged just the slightest so this is the first link I found.

Maybe true or just another stalling technique?

Slava Ukraine!

I’m sorry my country is full of republican cowards that are afraid of russia. They used to act brave, I can’t explain why they’re all so scared now.

To be clear they used to act like belligerent assholes. Now they're full-on traitors.

They aren’t afraid. They are full-throatedly embracing.

It is another stalling technique.
They are going to split the bill for aid to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and AIPAC into 4 bills and vote on them separately.

But because they split the bill the Senate needs to vote on the bills again, and there the Ukraine bill will never get 60% it needs to pass.

The Israël bill will pass, leaving Ukraine high and dry and giving the MAGAts what they desire.

That could be but I was under the impression that Senate Republicans were more pro-Ukraine and anti-Putin than the House.

You may be right, we will have to see what happens.

Eniugh Senate Republicans are shills for Trump that they probably won't break their automatic filibuster.

Oh FFS.

Well yes obviously, thanks for the information :-/

It is the NY Post, but if true its a massive game changer and the shot in the arm the Ukrainians need.

I will believe it when it happens, no sooner. These traitors have been doing everything to stall the decision, and this could as easily be more of that.

It's less worse than I thought, all 4 bills are supposed to go through before the senate (so maybe senate shenanigans) votes on them, and Biden clearly talks about sending clear signals to Iran and Russia so... maybe there us hope.

Maybe the GOP realised Trump will lose whatever they do and decided to stop dragging their feet and kneeling for the Magas?

No way to know until it happens, but I certainly hope so.
