Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders have applauded the US for passing a vital €89 billion aid bill which has been struggling to make it through the House of Representatives for months.
The House swiftly approved roughly €89 billion in foreign aid for Ukraine, Israel and other US allies in a rare Saturday session as Democrats and Republicans banded together after months of hard-right resistance over renewed American support for repelling Russia’s invasion.
With an overwhelming vote, €57 billion in aid for Ukraine passed in a matter of minutes, a strong showing as American lawmakers race to deliver a fresh round of US support to the war-torn ally. Many Democrats cheered on the House floor and waved blue-and-yellow flags of Ukraine.
Bad move. The smart thing to do would be to say “No backsies” just in case this election goes tits up.
What?
I am amazed at the downvotes this comment (and the one child comment that got the joke got)… In November there’s a chance Trump is elected and when he comes into office it’s likely he arbitrarily holds up any aide that hasn’t already been sent.
Yeah, I legit don’t get it. It’s a funny joke that makes a good point.
If Trump wins he might fuck around with the aid for personal political gain as he did during his presidency. I guess people already forgot when Trump was essentially was asking Zelensky to investigate Biden in exchange for aid.
Looool
