There are many European countries that will continue to give Ukraine aid.I think Ukraine is in trouble. Here’s why:
1. They’re running out of ammo now. We’re talking about an election that’s 10 months away.
2. Republicans will most likely recapture the senate. The map tough and Dems are already down 1 with Manchin retiring. So even if Dems hold the White House and recapture the House, the senate can obstruct and kill any Ukrainian aid. Republicans can withhold aid for as long as they stay in power. Power is the only thing that animates them.
There was a time when both parties would’ve worked together on this. But… sadly… that no longer happens. It’s all about politics, 24/7. How can my team win if I’m a Republican. It’s asymmetrical warfare.
After November, if you read my post that you are responding to, I think there will be less reason to withhold aid, as the reason they are doing it now is to appease Trump and deny Biden a win. Helping Ukraine is helping the U.S.. After the election, after Trump is defeated again and the Republican party needs to move on they will have few reasons to deny aid.
The reason they are withholding aid is because that's good for Trump. Once the Trump stank is lifted there is little incentive, other than some of them who I think are actually Russian compromised agents, to keep helping Russia.
