Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Because Republicans like Israel. They also like Russia, which is why they don't like Ukraine; Russia's paying them, Ukraine isn't.
Israels munitions aid wasnt contingent on the republicans, because it didn't need congress approval since it technically was a sale. My qustion is, why isn't this done for Ukraine. Even if they didn't have any money, some other ally could purchase the munitions for them and give the aid to them.
European countries have been spending that money on building out their own munitions factories instead of buying shells from outside the EU. There are various posts about this on here. That'll lead to a better situation in the medium term but in the short term few shells are being supplied.
They can do both, especially if biden gives then a discount as well.
Money doesn't just appear out of nowhere in Europe either. And spending it on US shells might not be the top priority.
And yet everyone still makes a big humdrum about how "Democracy itself is at stake!". Why aren't you giving them the munitions they need then? Biggest defeat since bakhmut, their need is urgent, but no, gotta build the factories that will supply munitions sometime in the future first.
Money is literally conjured out of thin air by governments lol.
