Also $26 billion for Israel. Good.

Thanks to the democrats, more Republican's voted against the bill (at Trumps behest) than voted for it. The Pro-Putin caucus in the house GOP is livid mind, Speaker Johnson may not survive without Democrats keeping him in his job.

It's completely clear that Trump is still having his tantrum about Zelensky selling him out and telling everyone that Trump basically threatened Ukraine's existence if they didn't fabricate evidence against Hunter Biden. Which means that the Trump Caucus in the House is doing Trump's work in trying to wreak vengeance against Ukraine.
It's excellent that this got through. It's also potentially very good news that Johnson might need Democrats from here on out. He might bring up to vote all the bipartisan things that most of the House wants but most of his party don't. He obviously wouldn't put through any Democrat bills, but might do the standard "functioning government" thing of paying the debt and so on.
Mostly, though, it's great for Ukraine.

At this point he's Speaker In Name Only, if he wants his job, he has to do what Jefferies tells him to do, in some respects, or face the traitors caucus ousting him. He's quite an odious extremist and I'm not sure the dems will in fact save him. Another dysfunctional week in the life and times of this least productive congress.

Smolensk is also quite a way north from Ukraine. That means the Russian or Belarus air defences aren't in great shape against drones.

It makes you wonder if the Ukes are playing the repositioning game, making the Russians reconfigure their air defences and making their layout either more dispersed or better-known, or both. Just in time for the new US systems to pitch up.

It's also always good strategy to keep f**k**g up supply lines and logistics rather than fighting an actual frontline war when you have less manpower than your opponents.

Not looking good for the Ukes, slowly getting beaten back as Russia launches renewed attacks, not in this article, but I read elsewhere a few weeks back, the Russians are throwing men forward in WWI type attacks and simply spending the lives of their conscripts to overwhelm the Ukes Can't help but think even when the US kit arrives it won't be enough. www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68916317

Biden'll probably deliver the Mulberries to the Ukes and the missiles to the Pals.
