The White House is asking for almost $106 billion for Israel, Ukraine and the border
NPR Online NewsJUL 2023
Current opposition by a minority of isolationist Republicans to a funding bill that includes both Ukraine and Israel lacks awareness of the nuances of the conflicts. Those Republican outliers are also counting on the failure of the party to unite and elect a House speaker to defund Ukraine. Criticism of the Biden administration's approach is foolish and naïve.
Many in Washington are pushing the narrative that current events in Ukraine and Israel are so intertwined that the continued spending of billions of dollars from the American taxpayer shouldn't be questioned in any manner. The truth remains that only Israel holds the title of being one of the US' closest allies and unreserved financial backing for Ukraine isn't sustainable.
