Republican house speaker, Mike Johnson, responding to questions about him approving Biden's aid packages
“Since World War II, the responsibility for the free world has been shifted onto our shoulders. And we accept that role. We’re an exceptional nation.” “We’re the greatest nation on the planet, and we have to act like it. And we have to project to Putin and Xi and Iran and North Korea and anybody else that WE will defend freedom!”

Agreeing with Joe Biden!

@KellyM_1964 @fubah2 Iran and Israel are now in a full blown war , and we could face global nuclear war , can you guys confirm that Joe Biden is awake ? Futures are tumbling , Oil and Gold soaring , on a side note
This is so sad as we'd never be in this situation with Trump calling the shots. Biden will call a lid early and you will most likely not hear from him till next week.
This is the lead-from-behind President and what happens when you have this type of bad leadership.
Absolutely a horror show!

Finally, months of Biden administration courting speaker Johnson seem to be working. Meanwhile republican Pence warns that Putin would target a NATO country next if he is successful in Ukraine.

Fubah, it's good to see the advancing of this foreign aid pack to a final Congress vote on Saturday. Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan need the aid to defend themselves, in return it's in accordance with the U.S. national security.

Followup to Thirdperson's first look at this interview . . .
Trump's VP Pence warns that Putin WILL attack a NATO nation if he overruns Ukraine
“ I have no doubt in my mind having met Putin that if he were allowed to overrun Ukraine, it would not be long before he crossed the border of a NATO country where our men and women in uniform would be required to fight,” he told CNN’s Jake Tapper.
**IOW, we must support UKRAINE with weapons NOW to prevent us having to put OUR boots on the ground later in a disasterous war.

Misinformation can be a dangerous thing....
The clowns of the world continue to spread fear and lies about Russia conquering Europe like we are living in 1914. Russia's "Special Military Operation", has been going on for 3 plus years....2 years of actual conflict where pretty much nothing except men dying in old school trench warfare has occured. This is a war of attrition by design. Ukraine, specifically Eastern, is full of ethnic Russians. Putin has made no effort to "destroy and conquer Ukraine" because that is not and was not ever his goal. If Russia wanted to take ALL of Ukraine they easily could've done so but it would've resulted in way much collateral damage (Cities and civilians). That also would've escalated the West's "proxy" war to a "hot" war and that is not what Putin wants. Russia's SMO is just part II of the previous SMO to take Crimea. They now have control (have had since the initial move into Ukraine) over the entire Eastern border, creating a buffer between what is now "Western / NATO" controlled Ukraine and Russia. All of Ukraine used to be the buffer between Russia and the West. Since the West took over Ukraine, eliminating the buffer, Russia has now created their own buffer state.
Mission accomplished, now all they are doing is bleeding US and Western resources while we dummies get sucked into another Middle East conflict of someone else's design.... China just kicking it in the background waiting till the US signals its OK to regain Taiwan. Good times as WWIII is currently in progress.
Time is a flat circle....

“Now’s a moment where the United States of America needs to square our shoulders. We need to recognize we are the leader of the free world. And we need to step into this moment, send a deafening message – not just to Russia and Vladimir Putin, Jake – but also renew our support to our cherished ally Israel, support Taiwan and also send a very clear message to the mullahs in Tehran, and frankly to President Xi in Beijing, that America is going to stand FIRM for freedom,” Pence added.

Good to chat with you again in here, I have been frequently lurking this forum. Just did not post as much as before, I'm cautiously optimistic on this November's election for the democracy in this country.
Also, glad to see good 'ol members around!

President Biden leading international coalition against evil and cannibalism!
Maybe they will open a investigation into Joe Biden's, Uncle Bosie getting eaten by cannibals. That needs to be brought to light as its such a terrible way to go. Make sure nothing like that ever happens again to any family member like Joe claimed.
Someone should bring this to the floor!

Clear victory for democrats with republicans losing what they wanted most. When republicans rejected senate bipartisan bill earlier, they lost their best chance at determining border security. Now GOP new border bill failed in 215 to 199 vote because two-third majority is required. However all aid packages passed by bigger majorities.

Russia wants to control other countries. Russian disinformation to weaken Ukraine support has influenced congress republicans as revealed by House intelligence and foreign committees. Since Russia failed to capture Ukraine capitol as planned, both countries have been forced into a war of attrition. Russia has been targeting Ukraine cities and civilians. Putin's doesn't want peace. Instead he wants to destroy any perceived threat to his rule. If Ukraine lose, the risk of more war is greater according to Institute for study of war. Most European countries have joined NATO because of the threat of Russia. Neighbors know Russia better than other countries. In contrast, NATO is a defensive alliance and poses no threat to Europe. However Russia has invaded Ukraine, Georgia and other countries.

On the contrary, Most Republican politicians vote strategically. They have “good governance” to consider and they have their next election to consider. It’s obvious the ones who have been successful before the 2016 election would be extremely happy if Trump plane landed nose first into sewerage facility and no longer be held politically captive by a buffoon and not have to explain his ever day live TV humiliation.
So till they a free they know that when the legislation will pass, regardless of which direction you vote, but your district is more extremely MAGA, then maybe you rather your next primary.
If you compare Republican senators who are running for reelection this year, to ones who aren’t, and the vote spread between those two groups for foreign aid - that will probably give you a better sense for how much re-election is playing into their choice.
