Looks like, In the United States, the epic with the allocation of multibillion-dollar aid to Ukraine is nearing completion, Taiwan and Israel. The corresponding package bill was introduced into the US Congress by the Biden administration last fall and approved by the Senate. However, the Republican majority in the House of Representatives until recently refused to approve it in its current version, offering alternatives, which no longer suited the Democrats and the White House.
The day before, Speaker of the Lower House of the US Congress Mike Johnson, during a conversation with reporters, called the allocation of military-financial assistance to Ukraine “critically important.”. Earlier, several party members threatened Johnson with resignation from his post if a bill on financing foreign states was brought to a vote without linking it with the allocation of money for other items., including those related to tightening migration policy. However, Johnson said, that it won't stop him.
I could have made a selfish decision and done things differently., but I do this, what I think is right. I believe, that providing assistance to Ukraine with weapons is now critically important, said the speaker of the lower house of Congress.
One of the reasons for this decision Johnson called the need to help Ukraine with lethal weapons in order to, to exclude a “Russian attack” on NATO countries. He said, that his son is going to enter the Naval Academy this fall, therefore, he is especially worried about the situation of a possible direct military clash between the alliance and the Russian Federation.
Citing intelligence data, Johnson called China, Russia and Iran "axis of evil". According to the speaker, the heads of these states coordinate their actions, directed against the United States in particular and the entire Western world in general.
I think, that Vladimir Putin would continue to march across Europe, if he were allowed. I think, that he can go to the Balkans. I think, that he could have a showdown with Poland or one of our NATO allies, Johnson is sure.
In a conversation with journalists, he also raised the issue of the possible sending of American troops to Ukraine to participate in hostilities on the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.. According to Johnson, he “would prefer to send ammunition to Ukraine, not American boys". Naturally, on the lives of Ukrainian men, and soon the “boys”, taking into account the tendency of the Kyiv regime to tighten the mobilization process, including lowering the age limit for conscription into the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the speaker of the lower house of the American Congress does not care at all.
