A Majority of House Republicans Vote Against Aid for Ukraine
- Thread starter What Would Jesus Do?

Notice how when US troops got too close to China, they joined the war. China views NK as a buffer between them an U.S. troops.
Notice how the Korean War was from 1950 - 1953, and was about NK invading SK, and SK was defended by the UN, not just the US.
China intervened when the UN forces crossed the Yalu river into NK. This wasn't because China needed a buffer; it was because China supported NK because of NK support for the evolving Chinese communist state after WW II.
The Yalu River is the N Korea/China border. UN forces never crossed. The Chinese did. And the US couldn't stop it.
There will be maybe a half million more Ukrainians alive at the end which won't matter in 20 years politically and Russia will never be able to control Ukraine outside of Donbas and Crimea. The Soviets had a hard time into the 1950s. Vietnam and Afghanistan say hello...
Why was the Yalu River important in the Korean War?
Meanwhile, South Korean forces, on the general's orders, streamed toward the city of Unsan on the way to the Yalu River, which separated China from North Korea. Foreign Minister Zhou Enlai of China had warned the general more than once that if UN troops approached the Yalu River, the Chinese would enter the war.
Must be a party is thicker than blood thingy. .
You asked a question in the "have you stopped beating your wife?" genre.
If you wanted to have reasonable discourse you would have divided it into 2 questions:
1. Will Russia push into Europe if we yield on Ukraine?
2. If that happens will our defense budget go up?
My answers:
1. Probably not.
2. Sure.
Weakening Russia and it's willingness to fund anti American groups all over the world does help the USA's security. And funding Ukraine's battle for freedom is doing just that.
I think Russia would love to reclaim the Baltic countries but would move on Georgia first. Ukraine's bitter resistance has exposed some of Russia's weaknesses and slowed their expansionist agenda.
Or, they are in favor of saving some money and not being the policeman of the world?
I assume Graham was referring to the “loan component” of this aid package, which reportedly was promoted by Trump.
I wonder how much of that goes to CEO compensation and profits? Or middle men? Or kickbacks and other corruption, here and Ukraine (and points between)?
For every dollar spent, I wonder how many pennies of actual gear Ukraine receives.
And then he downplayed it.
His admin gets credit for Warp Speed. It also gets "credit" for a few hundred thousand needless American deaths because of their failure to follow through, and ultimately their anti-vax messaging.
They most certainly wanted to keep NK as a buffer.
The Korean Peninsula was Japan’s historical route into the Mainland.
The Yalu river is the border between North Korea and China.
The approach of UN forces to that border triggered China’s response.
Considering what China suffered at the hands of the West in the preceding 100 years, they definitely didn’t want colonial puppets on their border.
In the least surprising news ever, Ukraine gets $60 billion, Ukrainians lose more liberties. What a sick joke.
