    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    President Joe Biden warned that the United States is at risk of being pulled into a direct conflict with Russia if the Kremlin succeeds in its war against Ukraine.

    The 22-month-long war has raised tensions between Russia and members of the NATO alliance, who have supported Ukraine’s fight through billions of dollars in military aid and weaponry.

    Support for Kyiv, however, has started to waver in countries like the U.S., where Republican lawmakers have blocked sending additional funding to Ukraine unless a deal can be reached that also boosts aid for America’s immigration system.

    Biden said Friday that Ukraine’s forces successfully intercepted a number of the missiles and drones launched by Russia thanks to the American-provided air defense systems at Kyiv’s disposable.

    House Speaker Mike Johnson said at a news conference this month that Republicans’ “hill to die on” in negotiations with Democrats over providing additional aid to Ukraine is to establish sweeping changes to U.S. border policy.

    “What the Biden Administration seems to be asking for is billions of additional dollars with no appropriate oversight, no clear strategy to win, and none of the answers that I think the American people are owed.”

    How about the fuck not? We can afford to keep funding Ukraine almost indefinitely (despite what Republicans claim). But we can’t afford sending lives to die.

    Don’t pull is into another fucking war.

      How about read the article?

      He doesn’t want to send American troops there. He wants to give Ukraine all the aid they need as quickly as possible in order to avoid that rather than drawing it out as the Republicans have started to do over these last few months. The sooner Russia can be stopped, the better for the world. It’s not just about Ukraine.
