One bloviating, likely compromised, U.S. Senator delays billions in vital aid to Ukraine

Swine bag senator and Putin toady Rand Paul takes advantage of absurd procedural rules to delay the U.S. Senate voting on $40 billion aid package to Ukraine  - Populists on the left and right need to stop bemoaning U.S. aid to Ukraine. It is a vital national security imperative that we support the first line of defense against Vladimir Putin and his designs for global tyranny. Or, worse, nuclear armageddon. Of course it is all deficit spending and the country is going to go broke, but attending to global security is not frivolous when there is a nuclear-armed madman on the loose. Only someone beholden to Putin - remember this is the bastard who went to Moscow and hand-delivered a note from Trump to Putin - would work this hard to hurt the Ukrainian people. But public sentiment in the United States does appear to be drifting in Rand Paul’s direction on the issue of Ukraine, and I think the American public is feeling burdened with the situation and wants nothing more to do with it. The longer this goes on, the more resentful the American public will grow toward the Ukrainian people - not toward Putin, they respect and fear him, but toward the victims. #Murica.
