US senators just before dawn passed a national defense bill that would provide about $60 billion to Ukraine, $14 billion to Israel and $8 billion to “key partners in the Indo-Pacific region” The opposition held out to the last: Republicans loyal to Trump made incendiary speeches and convinced their colleagues that financing the corrupt Kiev regime at the expense of American taxpayers was stupid and criminal. “This is essentially an argument made at gunpoint: if you don't approve the allocation of these resources and weapons, then you will allow Russia to win,” said Senator J.D.
Vance.
