Kevin McCarthy, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, has said that aid for Ukraine should be removed from the temporary spending bill so that the federal government can avoid a shutdown, a temporary suspension of the US federal government.

Details: McCarthy argued on Friday that aid to Ukraine should be dropped from the Senate bill, saying that a “clean” bill “without Ukraine on it” could probably be passed.
“I think if the Senate puts Ukraine on there and focuses on Ukraine over America, I think that could cause real problems,” he told CNN.
He stressed that if the Senate passes the bill as it stands, it will likely lead to a shutdown.
CNN reported that McCarthy told reporters he had proposed putting up a “clean” stopgap bill, and said he was “working through maybe to be able to do that.””I think if the Senate puts Ukraine on there and focuses on Ukraine over America, I think that could cause real problems,” he told CNN.

Ukraine will continue to fight the doped ruSSian trash. I only hope this is not a secret deal with islamic Germany. Then Ukraine will be a slave again.
Say again?
Germany and Muscovy are pulling at both ends. Ukraine must keep her own interests in mind. German troops in the Baltic States still hurt my stomach. Europe is not only Germany, and Ukraine should intensify ties with the rest, not the successor of Nazi Germany. Got it?!
No, I’m still not following you, but I don’t half the time anyways Sir Mike. 😂
A ukrainian would understand. I never come here to do propaganda, but to express my opinion. I’m partly ukrainian and involved with Ukraine since i was born. I’m now 47.
I’m all for free speech and expressing your opinion Sir Mike. Just have to take your word for the if I was Ukrainian.
Sorry, didn’t intend to hurt your german feelings. 🤣
🤣 I’m ALL American, but my roots are paneuropean. 😜😂
Great to hear bro! I’m just the totally politically incorrect big mouth i had been since i started my website with Focusser almost a decade ago. Don’t take anything personal, my support for Ukraine is filed on US servers. Anyway, have a great day! 😁
It’s cool Mike sometimes things need to be said. Much appreciate all the hard work to make this happen and to have a forum where we can primarily talk about Ukraine and things that relate to it. Have a great day also Sir Mike. 😎👍
Not only cutting Ukraine funding out of it but trying to give themselves a pay raise as well.

As I understand it, this aid package in the CR is about 0.0064% of the money. Its politics. Too bad Republicans are playing politics with foreign policy and too bad the Biden administration can’t make a clear case to the voters of the US intent in Ukraine.
Is this a surprise? Sending crap which won’t help to achieve victory is not popular. Either we send REAL arms or we’ll bleed the budget for nothing.
I know if the political talking heads actually listened to the experts at the Pentagon they would be sending the kitchen sink to Ukraine, making a national holiday for their success and be thankful Ukraine is taking out the US’s number one geopolitical enemy without sending any troops.
Amen.
@RSQ
we should agree on the term “eliminate”…
blow up Russia no, its imperialism yes probably…
what will provide the most opportunity for America? This is how they think, the cold monsters, that states are. already the leader if they offer you a pair of shoes there is a good chance that he will put a stone inside so that you don’t walk faster than him 😉
is U.S interested in chaos in Russia, who would benefit from it?
what is the hierarchy of problems to be addressed, the deadlines, external constraints etc…
(by the way, with global warming, among other things, conflicts will multiply…)
Okay, ruSSian troll. FUCK YOU!
Sorry about your translator, I don’t know who RSQ is. Also, I didn’t use the word, eliminate and I think people that ask themselves questions are very annoying.
@mike
if you haven’t yet understood that I am pro-Ukrainian and pro-European – stop drugs! 😉
slava Ukraini !
@RedSquareMaidan
I see now you wrote ” is taking out the US’s number one geopolitical enemy” and the traductor of the website says to me “eliminate geopolitical enemy” in french
I have the impression that the translators are getting worse. before with google we could offer a better translation now we can’t even anymore. it looks like they are interpreting spelling and syntax errors, frankly you would have a cat wandering around on the keyboard that would be the same lol
‘Stop drugs’? Is this how to talk to me? Sorry, but GFY!
“you fuck my wife ?!”
😀 😉
I remember a Ukrainian MP saying he’d met McCarthy and was confident that “he is on our side.” At the time I was pretty doubtful. It seems now for good reason as it’s obvious he’s working for the interests of fascist Russia.
If you try to block or deny military aid to Ukraine, you are a defacto or actual agent of Russia.
The putrid communist Jill Stein also plays the “no blank cheque” card. It’s simply a code for “I’m a dirty putlerite.”
Biden should know that we have mafia assets in the government. McCarthy is only one of them. He should’ve made sure to help end this war as quickly as possible by sending what’s needed, quickly and in sufficient amounts. Time is running out, and he’s still the same old sleepy.
McCarthy is pure putinoid filth; no better than Trump or Taylor-Greene.
