I don’t have a problem generally with helping allies in principle but Ukraine doesn’t qualify, and if it does there needs to be an explainer included. The rat hole that is the current policy re: Ukraine is a fucking disaster in management and execution.
Israel is more in our interest than Ukraine. They aren’t stupid so they ask for some money (everyone else has their hand out and daddy America seems to fill them all), but what they want more is for the US to give said “hip-hip-hooray” in order to keep their enemies off their back. They are plenty capable of taking care of themselves, we’ve done more to hamper that in the last 4 decades than help by telling them to not to.
If we’d just say clearly and repeatedly “do what you want, we ain’t stopping you” this would be over in weeks.
