re: Johnson signals shift on Ukraine to GOP senators

Cash for grain…more than likely.

floated the idea of making it a loan or lend-lease program so U.S. taxpayers would not be shelling out tens of billions of dollars without any expectation of getting a return, according to senators who participated in the discussion.

Graham emphasized any loan to Ukraine would be “waivable” and would not charge interest.

How stupid do they think we are

A loan.... what complete bullshite. It would NEVER be repaid.

I am sick of these America last aholes.

Johnson told senators that the House will send a Ukraine aid package to the Senate but floated the idea of making it a loan or lend-lease program so U.S. taxpayers would not be shelling out tens of billions of dollars without any expectation of getting a return, according to senators who participated in the discussion.

I'll wait to see the bill but this looks shitty

btw-He is on record as saying he will give Ukraine more than they could imagine if Putin doesn't agree to a cease fire. Cult45 memory holed that.

List how much money Trump has sent to ukraine since the start of the war.


Remeber, your republican senators want this money going to ukraine.

Look, ill happily admit i fricked up voting for kennedy, there is a republican senator that wants keep sending money to ukraine.

---

Johnson gave Republican senators a pathway for helping Ukraine a day after he came under pressure from Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) to bring the Senate-passed package funding Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan to the House floor.

---

quote:

---

Cornyn, who is running to succeed McConnell as GOP leader after this Congress, said seizing Russian assets to help Ukraine is “a great idea.”

“It would be justice to make the Russians to pay for Ukraine, pay the United States and allies for arming Ukraine,” he said.

Cornyn, an adviser to the Senate GOP leadership team, also praised the idea of setting up a lend-lease program to help Ukraine in addition to or perhaps instead of the $60 billion the Senate included in its emergency package.

“That’s what FDR did in World War II,” he said of a lend-lease program, which President Franklin Roosevelt signed in 1941 to arm Britain and other allies against Nazi Germany.

quote:

---

Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), who also attended the meeting, said the Speaker clearly stated his intention to help Ukraine.

“He was pretty clear about it,” Cramer said of Johnson’s indication that he would like to pass a lend-lease program and legislation to seize Russian assets to pay for a Ukraine support fund.[quote]

And we dont even know what will come of this


[quote]But he said House Republicans “are processing through all the various options right now” and cautioned that whatever the House passes “may not look exactly like the Senate supplemental.”

Graham said a lend-lease program would help Ukraine stop Russian gains on the battlefield.

quote:

---

Former President Trump began pushing the idea of sending aid to Ukraine in the form of a loan last month when he attempted to persuade GOP senators to vote against the Senate’s Ukraine funding bill.

“Loan them the money. If they can make it, they pay us back. If they can’t make it, they don’t have to pay us back,” Trump said at a rally in North Charleston, S.C.

Again hes just making comments, dont just give it to them, loan it to them if you must.


But cucky cheese would rather true conservatives just hand out money for nothing.



And what are republicans worried about?

quote:

---

Some Republican senators are skeptical of the loan idea, however, warning that would put more financial strain on Ukraine

---

So just give it to them instead. Sounds good to the badger.

Oh look at the argument this Stupid frick is making now.

He's on record as supporting sending them billions as a "loan" with no provision for repayment.

"How much money has he sent them since the start of the war?"

He thinks Trump not being in office is a gotcha.

What a fricking ignorant mouth breather. This is just like the arguments about his attempted infringements on the 2A. "They got overturned so it doesn't matter!"

You people do not have the ability to think. At all. Just hero worship and protecting your God Emperor at all costs.

LOL they all cave. Why are republicans such fricking pussies?


Newsflash: I AM CONSERVATIVE AND I DON’T GIVE A frick ABOUT UKRAINE!!!

What will the United States get when Ukraine defaults on their "loans?" Forgiveness?

Ukraine is broke AF and always will be. Not sure why our politicians are even pretending that we'd ever see a penny of that money again.
