In 1991 the Soviet Union fell, and in the blink of an eye all NATO countries disarmed. They put the entire defense of Europe on the US. Where it has stayed. Trump became President and told NATO to rearm and prepared for war, because the burden was now on them, the US was pivoting to Asia. They didn't do it. Russia invaded Ukraine, The US has picked up 90% of the bill, while NATO has just paid lip service. The US is a debtor nation, with out-of-control spending, a great deal of US aid has been swallowed up by Ukraine corruption. This all has to stop. All money should stay here to stop the illegal alien invasion. If Europe wants Russia out of Ukraine, Europe must do it with its own sweat and money, China is the bigger threat, and that's America's job. Ukraine is Europe's problem. PG 4 CGR
Washinton Post, March 14, 2024. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) Tuesday that he’s putting “thousands of lives in Ukraine” at risk by turning the issue of whether to approve aid to the war-torn country into a political football.
Such a strong statement from a foreign leader to a US congressman is unusual, and it comes as efforts to pass $60 billion in military assistance for Ukraine have stalled in the lower chamber.
“The lack of a decision to unblock aid to Ukraine is very important for Ukraine, for the United States, for the entire Western community,” Tusk told reporters in Washington Tuesday, after meeting with President Biden and his staff. “We need to stop speculation whether the United States will continue to be involved in helping Ukraine.”

Tusk then took aim at Johnson, indicating that he hopes “the voice from Poland will influence, and change the attitude of the speaker of the House” before issuing a stark warning.
“Mr. Johnson, he must be aware , and I hope that he is already aware, that on his individual decision depends the fate of millions of people,” the Polish leader said.
“In fact, on his decision depends thousands of lives in Ukraine.”
“This is not some political skirmish that only matters here in America,” Tusk added. “The absence of this positive decision of Mr. Johnson will really cost thousands of lives there: children, women.”
“He must be aware of his personal responsibility.”
Johnson’s office did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
