The aid package for Ukraine in their struggle with the Russian invasion is stalled in Congress and yet any and all aid to Israel seems to get the fast track…..and Ukraine is fighting the green-eyed monster of jealousy on Israel’s success.
Ukrainian officials have expressed envy over the US’s response to an Iranian drone and missile attack on Israel that came in retaliation for the Israeli bombing of Iran’s consulate in Syria.
The US, the UK, France, and Jordan all intervened to help intercept Iranian drones and missiles. “The whole world saw that Israel was not alone in this defense — the threat in the sky was also being eliminated by its allies,” Zelensky said.
The attack on Israel came as Russia has stepped up its missile and drone attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, which Moscow said was a response to Ukrainian attacks on oil refineries inside Russian territory. Ukraine has suffered serious blows in the strikes as it’s running low on air defenses, and Russia’s intelligence continues to improve.
“When Ukraine says that its allies should not turn a blind eye to Russian missiles and drones, it means action is needed — a bold one,” Zelensky said. “It is not rhetoric that protects the sky, it is not opinions that curb the production of missiles and drones for terror.”

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba acknowledged that the US and NATO wouldn’t directly intervene but called for more military aid. “Even if you cannot act the way you act in Israel, give us what we need, and we will do the rest of the job,” he said.
The $60 billion President Biden is seeking to fuel the proxy war in Ukraine still hasn’t passed through Congress. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said he would work on getting more military aid to Israel this week, and the White House has said that it would only support legislation that also included spending for Ukraine and Taiwan.

The problem is simple….Ukraine does not have the agents with cash to bribe their way to success as Israel does.
Until they, Ukraine, start greasing the right palms they will always be look for solutions.
Cash is what it is….the oil that keeps the gears of Congress working…..the more cash spread around the better the results….and that is at ALL levels from the chief to the little reps….money will help Ukraine prevail.
Just so you know the Congress instead of taking up cash for Ukraine spent their time working on laws that govern home appliances….time well spent.

“lego ergo scribo”
Ukraine is gone .. and you have the Putin Loving Pigs in the House of Reprehensibles to thank for it.
The Speaker wants to change that….more to come from me. chuq
the speaker will soon be toast politically
Probably but he seems to be trying to straddle the divide and that could be disastrous. chuq
there is no way to straddle that particular divide unless, of course, someone considers a mass frontal lobotomy.
At least he is trying, I will give him that and that is about all the good I will say about him. chuq
Ukraine doesn’t have the history of influencing and controlling western countries and economies that Israel benefits from, and the western allies would prefer to push it to the brink with Iran, rather than be up against Russia.
Best wishes, Pete.
Yep cash determines a lot in DC….sycophants everyone. chuq
