    It sucks I know, but if it gets Ukraine aid passed, lump in everything together. That’s the most important piece of legislation needed right now and we need it to pass.

      Ukraine at least has an army to defend itself, so i would rather see neither have aid than bith Israel and ukraine having aid

        It doesn’t because you not being able to afford a studio apartment doesn’t plunge NATO into a war.

        I gotta be honest, this is probably the stupidest comparison I’ve ever heard.

            Ukraine is a major global food supplier. The war has directly impacted food prices. And if Russia succeeds, it will only encourage more conflict of this kind. And that’s ignoring the possibility that this will escalate into an even larger conflict because Putin decides that NATO’s resolve is weak enough that article 5 is no longer a plausible threat.

            Also, that stupid argument applies just as much to funding schools, cancer research, fighting climate change and basically all other functions of government that serve the public good. We should do more to address economic issues, but that doesn’t mean we should stop doing everything else.

            Have you tried turning your job off and turning it back on again after 15 seconds? Worked for my wifi.
