Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) hit the brakes Thursday on bipartisan hopes that the Senate could quickly pass nearly $40 billion in Ukraine aid before leaving town for the week. Paul objected to a deal offered by Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) that would have set up votes on Thursday afternoon on the funding and on an amendment from Paul, who wanted to include language in the bill to expand an Afghanistan inspector general role to include oversight of the Ukraine funds.


Thoughts on this GOPer being on Putin's side?
 
Rand's dialogue....

''My oath of office is to the US Constitution, not to any foreign nation, and no matter how sympathetic the cause, my oath of office is to the national security of the United States of America. We cannot save Ukraine by dooming the US economy.''

“Americans are feeling the pain, and Congress seems intent on only adding to that pain by shoving more money out the door as fast as they can.”

“We should not forget that the Soviet Union collapsed in large part not because it was defeated militarily, but because it ran out of money...In an attempt to save Ukraine, will we doom the US to such a future?”
 
Paul... and Paul-ites... are famous for capitalizing on saving taxpayer money at the expense of strategic national interests. Foolhardy isolationist thinking.
Other than money laundering for Xiden, Piglosi, Kerry, Romney, et. al., there's absolutely zero national interest in Ukraine, let alone any strategic one.

How 'bout you load your narrow ass on an airliner and go fight for the corrupt stand-up comic?

Doesn’t your article say mitch was mad?

anyhow, not supporting giving more billions, especially when we have our own humanitarian crisis on the southern border, doesn’t mean you are on putin’s side
