Ukraine Will “Lose the War” if US Aid Not Approved

 Without the USA sending money, bullets, tanks and missiles, Ukraine will lose to Russia.  Russia has the same size economy as New Jersey so we aren’t sure how they continue funding this expensive war, but my guess is they spend zero money on welfare, gender studies, forgiveness of student loans and climate change measures.  America can’t continue paying for everyone’s wars and disasters.  We spend a few trillion more than we take in every year.  Remember, a trillion dollars is a stack of $100 bills 622 miles high.

Ukraine “will lose the war” if the United States Congress does not approve military aid to help it resist Russia’s invasion, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

“It’s important to specifically address the Congress: if the Congress doesn’t help Ukraine, Ukraine will lose the war,” Zelensky said Sunday during a video meeting of the Ukrainian fund-raising group UNITED24.

“If Ukraine loses this war, other countries will be attacked. This is a fact,” he said.

Zelensky’s warning, among his starkest since the war began more than two years ago, comes as Congress has for months refused to pass a package of aid for Ukraine, leaving Kyiv to battle manpower and ammunition shortages while an emboldened Russia pounds Ukraine’s cities with missiles and tests for weak spots along the front line.

The US Senate passed a $95.3 billion foreign aid bill with assistance for Ukraine and Israel in February, but House Speaker Mike Johnson has so far refused to hold a vote on passing the package for Ukraine.
