@VivekGRamaswamy I’m the only candidate with the guts to say it, but here’s the TRUTH: vote *NO* on the $106BN foreign aid [WW3] warfest. We’re drowning in a $33 trillion national debt problem, caused in part by $6.5 trillion wasted in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars...
I’m the only candidate with the guts to say it, but here’s the TRUTH: vote *NO* on the $106BN foreign aid warfest. We’re drowning in a $33 trillion national debt problem, caused in part by $6.5 trillion wasted in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The cost of funding the Ukraine war won’t be limited to the next $61 billion infusion that Biden proposes now but *serial* further involvement in a war against Russia that does not advance U.S. interests & increases the risk of major conflict with a nuclear power, at a time when we should instead focus on negotiating a reasonable path to peace in Ukraine while weakening the Russia-China alliance that represents a true threat to U.S. interests.
Meanwhile, Israel is barreling ahead to a potentially catastrophic ground invasion of Gaza without clear objectives. "Destroy Hamas” is not on its own a viable or coherent strategy. Instead, Israel is likely to invite attacks from Hezbollah in the north, which would almost surely draw the U.S. into a prolonged all-out regional war in the Middle East that won’t advance American interests. The U.S. should be clear with Israel that further U.S. support is contingent on Israel identifying clear objectives for success in Gaza and a coherent plan for what comes after toppling Hamas, even if Israel is successful in doing so. Right now these critical questions remain unanswered.
Biden’s pathetic gambit to conflate Ukraine, Israel, and U.S. border funding requests is a ploy to evade debate on the merits at a time when we need open debate more than ever. Republicans shouldn’t fall for it. I call on lawmakers in both parties to vote NO on this disastrous proposal.
