MTG wants members of Congress who vote "in favor" to pull on boots and head to Ukraine
2024-04-18
[Breitbart] Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) introduced an amendment to a supplemental funding bill for Ukraine that would require members of Congress who vote "in favor" to enlist in the Ukrainian military.

Greene’s amendment comes as House Republicans released the legislative text regarding four bills wrapped into one, according to CBS News.

Under the three bills, $26.4 billion would be sent to Israel, $60.8 billion would go to Ukraine, and $8.1 billion would go to countering the threat of China in the Indo-Pacific and providing foreign aid to Taiwan.

A fourth bill focuses on providing other defense measures to "strengthen" the "national security" of the United States.

"Any Member of Congress who votes in favor of this Act shall be required to conscript in the Ukrainian military," the amendment to the Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act 2024 reads.

#5  ...why should we fight the Russians? The Euros position for generations has been You (America) and He (Russia) should fight while we have massive social programs. The Euros committed suicide twice in the last century. Why should we fight for them if they won't themselves. It's not like they or we are protectors of Western Civilization anymore.

#4  Come on, man! The whole point of using Ukraine to fight the Russians is so we don't have to go fight the Russians ourselves.

We are 34+TRILLION in debt.

We have about 1/4 of our US active duty troops stationed around the world.

We have WIDE OPEN BORDERS.

We have a ILLEGAL population of Military age Males 2 to 3 x's the size of our own military.

We have Regime with an Anti-USA agenda that wishes to disarm America.

Simple question, IF! the American "Citizen" voter even supported such an idea, is it logistically feasible and could the DOD still protect the USA itself?
