Foreign Affairs

and announcements have been made that aid to Ukraine will not only resume, it will vastly increase.

However, I don't see the marshmallow Congress moving this along, and they need to, like I don't see US aid flooding into Ukraine all of a sudden. It's just more hot air while Europe demonstrates their deep commitment to stopping Putin in his tracks without our help.

My guess is that the vast and powerful US will continue to dribble a little aid into Ukraine while announcing big aid packages. I suppose if someone mentioned to this administration that the only way they're going to benefit from the minerals deal with Ukraine is to scrape the occupying Russian army off the land first, we'd see a more reasonable level of aid dedicated to doing just that.

I hope somebody lights a stick of dynamite under Johnson's arase and gets him going on this but I don't know who's going to take that big a risk. Until and unless that hapens, all Ukraine is getting from us will be mostly promises.
