    It’s blackmail, yeah?

    It’s hard to overstate the potential destructiveness of the sweeping changes to US immigration policy currently being discussed as part of President Joe Biden’s negotiations with Republicans over aid for Ukraine and Israel.

      Yep. We have to fund Ukraine, because if Russia wins due to Republicans withholding funding, it will likely signal to and embolden other countries. And if those countries attack NATO countries (and there’s a real possibility), we are now obligated to send live troops, and we’ll be in a real war, instead of funding a proxy war.
