The Democrats have been making a big stink about this whole Ukraine funding situation, and they’re acting like it’s the end of the world if they don’t get their way. They’ve been crying and moaning about how not funding Ukraine’s fight against Russia would be the worst foreign policy mistake since forever.
Democrats say Johnson legacy on the line with Ukraine aid vote: ‘History is watching’ https://t.co/sutpUCZccy https://t.co/sutpUCZccy

But hold your horses, folks, because the Republicans are starting to see through the smoke and mirrors. They’re not so sure throwing money at the Ukraine conflict is the smartest move, especially when it looks like things might be settling down over there.
Democrats have been buttering up the Republican big shot Mike Johnson (R-LA), trying to sweet-talk him into getting on board with their plan. They’re pulling out all the stops, even trying to make him feel all warm and fuzzy by appealing to his legacy. They’re saying, “Hey, Mike, if you don’t go along with us, history is gonna remember you as the guy who caved to the bad guys.”
But let’s not forget who’s in charge here. Johnson has been putting his foot down, saying, “I won’t be rushed into this whole foreign aid thing.” He’s got his priorities straight, focusing on sorting out the mess at the southern border before he jumps into the whole Ukraine mess.
On the other side of the aisle, you’ve got Chuck Schumer and his gang, all up in arms about getting Ukraine the arms they need pronto. They’re acting like the sky is falling and trying to make it seem like Johnson holds all the power in this whole drama. But let’s be real, everyone knows that Biden’s the one calling the shots here.
It’s a real tug of war between the Dems and the Republicans, and Biden is stuck in the middle, trying to keep everyone happy. But at the end of the day, it’s Johnson who’s got the final say. Sure, Biden might want to make a deal, but Johnson’s not gonna budge unless it’s on his terms. And that’s the way the cookie crumbles, folks!
