    Ukraine? Sure, sort of.

    Israel? Absolutely not. If they need more money, they can take it from their ruling class instead of our taxpayers.

      There is no way at this point to get Republicans to agree to Ukraine funding without Israel funding too. Biden knows this. Sometimes you have to play politics to get your way. Israel doesn’t need our money, but it’s also a drop in the bucket in terms of the budget and Ukraine does need our money.

        Ukraine also has a ruling class that it could and should be pulling resources from.

        It’s just not nearly as wealthy as Israel’s ruling class and Russia is a much more formidable foe, so I still support outside aid.
