The White House on Friday asked Congress for nearly $106 billion to fund ambitious plans for Ukraine, Israel and U.S. border security, but offered no strategy for securing the money from a broken Congress.

    While I’m openly in favor of supporting Ukraine

    How about Palestine?

      If the Palestinians had received a quarter of what Ukraine has received in the last three years Israel would be no more. I certainly don’t have a problem with that.

      Do I support giving arms to Israel? No, but that wasn’t the point of my post. It was an very high level explainer to head off the inevitable portrayal of this as a direct cash transfer.

        Did you you seriously just describe your own comment as “very high level”?

          Did you really confuse that for meaning “expert” and not “incredibly basic and way oversimplified”?
