US Senate rejects an aid package for Israel separately from Ukraine

2023-11-08

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Representatives of the Democratic Party in the US Senate blocked the Republican proposal to provide assistance to Israel without Ukraine, Reuters reported on November 7.

The Senate Democrats as a group don’t care about Israel, though a number of them individually profess to care a great deal. On the other hand, that’s the only leverage they have to get their Ukraine wishlist passed.

“Democrats blocked a Republican attempt to secure quick approval of an emergency aid bill for Israel that passed the House last week but does not provide any aid to Ukraine,” the article said.

Democrats opposed the adoption of the document, while insisting on providing assistance not only to Israel, but also to Ukraine.

It is noted that senators are preparing their bill on additional funding and hope to present it this week.

As Regnum reported , the heads of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Defense and US Secretary of State Janet Yellen , Lloyd Austin and Antony Blinken called on Congress to approve budget assistance to Kiev for $11.8 billion. In their opinion, supposedly direct budgetary support is necessary for Kyiv so that the economy and government can function and Ukraine “succeeds on the battlefield.”

With the new guy installed as Speaker of the House, this will be a good test of his character.

Zelensky’s office said that Kiev did not receive the promised Western weapons in full. At the same time, Ukraine cannot influence the volume of supplies of Western weapons, since this depends on manufacturers, the leadership of partner countries and logistics.

From the point of view of ex-~~US Army~~ USMC intelligence officer Scott Ritter , Ukraine has turned into ballast for the United States, which they will throw off at the right moment.

If you’re going to believe Scott Ritter, whose shining resumé has been so badly tarnished by his private choices...

Ritter has gone completely around the bend over Israel.
The Americans will flee Ukraine, as happened with Afghanistan, after which the country will collapse, and when the need arises to normalize relations between Western countries and Russia, Washington will simply forget about Kiev, he said.
