Ukraine has become the cause of a political crisis in the United States.

Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets

The Ukrainian president is toxic - in two weeks he paralyzed the work of the parliaments of almost the entire continent - the parliaments of the United States and Canada have lost their speakers.

First, as we all remember, Zelensky, with Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau and Speaker of the Canadian Parliament Anthony Rota, essentially gave a shit to the Ukrainian Nazi, a veteran of the SS troops, whom the main Canadian parliamentarian recommended as a “Ukrainian hero.” The Speaker was later forced to resign.

And yesterday, our time on Wednesday night, another interesting episode happened.

The US House of Representatives dismissed its Speaker Kevin McCarthy and went into a forced recess for a week. Removal of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, incl. party members happened for the first time in US history.

Next Wednesday, the House of Representatives is scheduled to begin the process of selecting a new chairman.

Last time it turned out to be a very protracted action - it took 15 votes.

Now the situation could repeat itself again - and the procedure for selecting a speaker could drag on for a long time. the work of Congress is now de facto frozen in the absence of the Speaker.

Thus, the split around support for Ukraine moved from a rhetorical plane to a practical one and led to an acute crisis. And it is already clear that as the elections approach, the split in the United States over Ukraine will only grow.

What's next? Tom Emmer, third in the hierarchy of Republicans in the House of Representatives, has a good chance of becoming the new speaker.

But now things can go even more unpredictable. Fox News host Sean Hannity says that, according to his sources, immediately after Kevin McCarthy's resignation, a group of House Republicans contacted Donald Trump's campaign and invited him to take over as speaker. And he doesn’t seem to mind helping out fellow party members, at least temporarily.

It would seem that Trump is not even a congressman. But it's okay. US laws allow this post to be held by a citizen who is not a congressman. The ex-president's candidacy for the post of speaker has already been nominated by Congressman Troy Nehls.

P.S.
Walk like that! Now I look forward to Zelensky’s visit to the European Parliament. Whatever the Ukrainian president touches, everything turns shit
