'The U.S. has an obligation to support our allies': House GOP member backs Ukraine aid
#Congress #MiddleEast #Ukraine
I've been telling people that the U.S. has obligations to our allies that we cannot afford to fall through on. It's about our own national security as well as our reputation on the world stage and the trust of our allies that we honor our promises and obligations. Pass this NOW. Ukraine cannot wait any longer.
who have you been "telling"?
This American totally agrees with you,, and nearly eighty percent of the American people do also in the latest Poles, 🇺🇸🇺🇦💯
@@hazepennington9303 nah I like my money to stay in my country
Never forget that Trump said he'd let Russia do whatever it wants to our NATO allies.
He said that the nations of NATO needed to pay their fair share of defense costs. You’re the guys that are always saying people should pay their “fair share”. Burden sharing in national defense costs was also supported by Lloyd Bentsen, the once DEMOCRATIC nominee for vice-President in 1988.
@@CentralKentuckyElevators He said that if they didn't pay their fair share, he'd encourage Russia to invade. The problem with this is that every Nato country that borders Russia pays 2% or more, so this statement makes no sense, apart from damaging our security, that is countries bordering Russia.
@@CentralKentuckyElevatorsthere is no due payments in nato although I completely agree that the nations that don’t invest more in there defense which in real terms is a real negative to the whole of NATO but to simply say that we will allow an belligerent enemy nation that we are currently in a cyber, information and shadow with that if we lose could put millions of American lives at risk is completely unacceptable and foolish to the point where I think whoever is supporting our enemies talking points may just very well be a secret spy
@CentralKentuckyElevators Aren't they paying what they agreed to? We can either pay now or pay more later.
@@CentralKentuckyElevatorswe are a massive country with a massive economy. You’re talking about countries that are barely bigger than some of our states. How do you expect them to equally contribute? Trumps argument has been ridiculous from the get go. He’s just not that bright.
We must stand United with Ukraine against Russia , because we have a lot more allies right behind Ukraine we should be worried for ..we can’t let Ukraine falling under
It's nice to see some Republicans are trying to do some work. Most aren't. mike johnson doesn't even deserve capital letters. Conservatives don't have to kowtow to the craziest members. 😁
PICK A GENDER FIRST.
MIKE JOHNSON!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The modern day GOP is not conservative, despite clinging to this label. Real conservatives have left the GOP or been pushed out. The m/\ga movement is a fascist movement, masquerading as populist. It is sad to see the end of the grand old party, as they do indeed cow tow to m/\ga. We will just vote blue until they get themselves straightened out and separated from russia.
For Trump, "it". @michaelbriganti For maga, "vermin".
@@CentralKentuckyElevators"MIKE JOHNSON for president, 1824!
Ukraine should be the very first bill passed. Stopping Putin is most important.
but it won't stop Putin. Slow him a little....maybe....
Putin deserves the Ukraine. Putin deserves to have to deal with this corrupt Ukrainian government. The last thing United States needs to do is to become involved in another corrupt European government.
@@trevorsutherland5263
Supporting Ukraine decicively now, immediately, with whatever they need, together with the European states, will stop Putin.
Each day wasted by MAGA delay tactics helps Putin and prolongues the war!
But should we send the money to East Ukraine or West Ukraine?
@@warrenpaine We don't send money, that is Russian and right-wing propaganda.
We send weapons, materials, support and aide.
How about actually passing the bill that already went through the senate and includes it all?
YES!
They don't want to give senate credit for doing their job.
Now that’s a real Republican trying to get things done putting national interests and issues first and ignoring the ignorant political nonsense from both parties the nation is more important than party loyalty
Don't assume that because he is correct about this one issue that he has suddenly transformed into someone trustworthy. This guy Lawler knows the Republican Party has become a mouthpiece for Putin, and every once in a blue moon, he'll squeak out a syllable or two of dissent, but he is no savior of democracy.
Moscow Marge is not happy about this.
I really don't care, do you?
😆
@@mariyamwaniki You cared enough to take the time to respond.
MTG will have a meltdown regardless of what's put up for a vote. Think her panties are in a permanent wad!
@@Harry-xt6ev it’s a reference to Melania’s jacket, dude
@@mariyamwaniki That was a lifetime ago. My bad.
He is correct. Pass the aid bill
Fund Ukraine 🇺🇦 & Taiwan 🇹🇼 now!
No, do not fund corruption. The Ukrainian government is incredibly corrupt.
Don’t forget Israel!🇮🇱
dont forget the congo,
How about the American boarders?
No.
Why can't Mike Lawler be the Speaker? God forbid we should have a "normal" Republican in charge in the House.
Too many MAGAs and supporters in congress voting against common sense. Until we vote them out and replace them with actual politicians with sense rather than all these idiotic showmen, this isn't going to change much.
This Lawler guy is a rare breed these days, someone who can see the forest from the trees and realize that these political games are what they are, but should not go so far as to erode US foreign policy, security, or essential government functions. I may not be a conservative, but I salute this guy for keeping in touch with reality, I wish him all the best.
He talks the right way on camera, but his voting record in Congress says everything you need to know.
STOP THE GOP MADNESS VOTE 💙🔵💙🔵💙🔵💙🔵💙🔵💙🔵
SLAVA UKRAINE ❤️🔥 🇺🇦 🇮🇱 🌎 🫂 🇺🇸
Look around. Joe’s no where to be found and WWIII is getting ready to start. Take the C-Pap off and get in the game.
I think the members of the GOP have figured out a way to siphon a lot of that money from the Ukraine into their own pockets.
we already spent 100Billions on ukraine
@@Gia-ye8vq Your point? We're defending Europe from Z fashionistas.
Come on we need for Ukraine... for them and for our own security....
HOGWASH!
It must be hard to live being that delusional
Appeasing a future dictator on purpose is madness!
What's more maddening is trying to place nato on the Russian Ukrainian border, with the objective of trying to divide Russia into 5 other countries; not only maddening but stupid as well.
Dictator? Haaahaaahaa do you know how people would have to be in on that? You people are ridiculous.
Who is the dictator?
Wow. A republican sounding like a real lawmaker. Refreshing.
shame he hasn't sighed the discharge petition
@libbycollins9349 Russia, Russia, Russia.....
@@zoecornish baby steps, or maybe he’s already gone as close to honor as he can or will.
Nope he still is MAGA. Joe needs to learn a few things. First, MAGa didn’t come out of a vacuum. The stupidity of those who support Trump is the result of soundbite politics. You Joe, although I like you, you represent corporate America, who is greedy. You Joe, although you might not have liked Maga are still a Republican supporter of corporate America’s greed.
Flip-floppers, one and all… that’s the ‘wanna survive’ Rep party for you 🧐.
All Johnson is doing is delaying. There is a Bill before the House already providing for aid to Ukraine that's been passed by the Senate. What's wrong with that? Producing another Bill merely means it has to be debated by the Senate again even if the House passes it, and I bet Johnson puts something obnoxious in it so that the Senate gags on it.
The Johnson aid bills are just a delay tactic.😢
He sounds like a rational Republican......one of the few
No longer the leader but the clowns of the free world. GOP and trump is like a freaking circus.
Bringing new meaning to the moniker "Elephant Man."
Vote all Republicans OUT! Up and down the ballot.
its to bad the democrats are so crazy ,if they weren't the GOP would be out of business
Finally a few House Republicans that come to their senses.
When your opponent does something correct, he should be recognized for it. Thank you, Representative Lawler, for supporting Ukraine.
Ill believe it when I see it, and, if this goes through, what has this completely unnesseary delay costs the Ukrainians?
Fancy words on a screen. The way he votes is what matters, not the tripe spewing from his gums
ruzzia funds Iran, Iran funds hamas, ruzzia funds hamas, all roads lead back to ruzzia
Finally, Some Realizations!!!!!!!!!! Trump Is The Anchor, Around All Republican Necks!!!!!!!!!!
Well, how come your Republican friends don't understand they must support their "friends"? They seem to think Putin is their friend, not Ukraine. Our rep doesn't even talk about Ukraine, since his voters are too ignorant to care. SUPPORT UKRAINE. VOTE BLUE.
Do you have any idea how corrupt Ukraine is
ZELENSKY/BIDEN/HARRIS for four more years of:
Finally someone sounds the alarm for Moldova
Lawler has worked out there is life after Trump and "after Trump" might come sooner than you think.
@@stevebeegreat What are you talking about? He left office with a national debt rise of 8.7 trillion! Unemployment was higher under him? He kept trying to abolish Obama care and replace it with "something terrific" which he never specified. 1.1 million Americans needlessly died of Covid because of his sloppy last minute response to the virus. Do you have amnesia?
President Joe Biden’s parole pipeline has released more than 950,000 foreign nationals into the United States since its inception in January 2023 - exceeding the entire population of South Dakota.
Late last week, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released figures for March, showing Biden’s parole pipeline is continuing to release tens of thousands of foreign nationals into the United States interior via the southern border and commercial flights.
From January 2023 through March 2024, more than 950,000 foreign nationals have been released into American communities thanks to Biden’s parole pipeline. The pipeline brings foreign nationals to the U.S. through the administration’s “CBP One” mobile app and “humanitarian parole.”
For perspective, more foreign nationals have arrived in the United States on parole under Biden than there are people living in the state of South Dakota.
Hope so
That would be nice if I trusted anything a repub. said !!
No he hasn’t. This dude just knows how to appear less supportive of him, but he’ll be falling in line like the rest soon enough
Stand up to Putin! FUND UKRAINE! You're exactly right!
I agree. We must lead. Again.
Assist our allies! 👍
Those are the kind of allies that wouldn't let African students studying in Ukraine pass across their borders to get out of harms way, when the war broke out. Well, that's the USA!
@@cornellhoward3757and I can understand why a country wouldn't want more people in a country when war is starting up. Why allow more people in to become another body count?
@@micheleconner5083 Research it on Google!
Assist the American people.
Pass the Senate bill or sign the discharge petition to send aid.
Just like it doesn't take SCOTUS to 6 months to tell us Trump has no immunity. It doesn't take the speaker to bring up the bill.
If it’s been 6 months
Do they truly need the aid?
SECURE OUR BORDER FIRST.
Just kidding everyone! The war is over and it’s time to stop sending aid especially now that war with Iran is on the horizon.
@@michaelbriganti you’re absolutely right. We should be securing our border first
We’ve already given aid. The current amount of aid provided up to this point is sufficient. Ukraine must make due with the aid they have already been provided.
Next censure and expel MTG and Gaetz
Take your time it's not like people are dying or anything
😢
Vote blue for decent people 💙💙💙💙🌊😎😎🌊
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Vote red for competent leadership.
8 months to pass aid for Ukraine is unconscionable. The republicans of the house as well as speaker Johnson have a lot to answer for
You forget he went to visit his "daddy" to get instructions on what to do next.
Every time he’s asked about Republicans not supporting Ukraine, he tries to change the subject to Democrats and Israel, but I would put money down that more of the Democrats will support aid for Israel.m, than Republicans will support aid for Ukraine.
One thing about all of these characters, they don't recognize that they're drowning until they are looking up from the bottom.
FUND UKRAINE! End this madness!
Is that you Azov?
Isn't it rich for this guy to lecture the democrats on foreign policy, really dude? Your own party is cheering for Vladimir Putin, but yeah, keep whining about the Democrats who have actually tried to do something about it and you guys keep preventing it. It's your own fault dude.
It's his fellow repuklicans. Yes,he needs to lecture them.
Let's hope the help is not too late. Kharkiv is in peril from gliding bombs.
Here in Ukraine we counting every day for this critical Aid. Dear Americans we losing people, towns getting destroyed, infrastructure devastated after strikes.
Its matter of existence for entire nation for us!
Please help ! Help
Yes, we do. And we have an obligation to keep promises and honor commitments.
Senate already passed bill for that aid, johnson only needs to bring it to the floor for a vote, quickest way to get aid to Ukraine
Diaper Don gave them a oil pass lie
Don't make excuses for Johnson, Lawler- if he's not up the the task, why was he voted in?
I think that's why he was voted in. No spine.
Speaker Johnson should not separate aides. Making it a package could help him do his job lighter than segrating each.
Moscow Johnson in a private meeting with Republicans yesterday told them to reject their own aid deal for Ukraine. As for Hamas, one of their largest funding sources was Netanyahu and his far right party in Israel.
Hhmmm is he really a republican????? He actually makes sense. MTG will be coming after him next !!!
Americans and America first
HALF the year is Gone and NO budget!! DO YOUR INTENDED JOBS!!!
Lets get to voting on a border bill minus ally funding.
I live in his district and he really hasn't done anything to get aid to these areas and no border bill. Keep giving him softball questions, but he will still vote for trump.
$1 Trillion added to the deficit every 3 months.
One big aid bill would be best. It is the safest route.
Are you insane!?
@@thedearleader7054 Sit. The poorly educated do not belong in politics.
We'll be lucky if he gets this done. They've already NOT done anything with big bills
Easy to fill with pork
@markmierzejewski9534 maxine waters and sheila jackson lee are the best you have martha😂
Well, gotcha conclude by saying that :- "All wars must stop for the sake of humanity, after all every Innocents loose their life on both sides. Remember all wars are fought on the basis of consumption upon resources. Gotcha make sure, country shift towards structurisation of renewable energy power plants to avoid such brutal wars."
I am so happy he call it out russia China Iran are not our friend
Glad we showing support for all of them
The real "National Security Priorities" are making sure 41 million Americans have their TANF and SNAP benefits.
Speaker Mike Johnson got a lot of nerve talking to people like that.
The support is for the countries that provide money and votes for politicians. That's all they care about, unless Putin gives them different instructions.
This Republican is acting like he is separate from the blame his party owns for Ukraine, he is a disgrace too, if he had a backbone, he would come out against his party leader in Trump who is spewing the hateful anti Ukraine rhetoric he is complaining about. Hypocrisy.
He has spoken against 45 previously.
Israeli citizens enjoy Free, Universal Healthcare for everything, so naturally they need US foreign aid to pay for that. # America Last
Why don’t support people of New York first?
Support Ukraine but NOT Israel until Netanyahu is out, he wants war to stay in power.

Where the aid for the American citizens?
Vote for Blue 🙏🏽another 4 years of Immigrants Invasion and inflation
yes to ukraine aid and now 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦iam ruepulican i wont vote repuoican if repulicans dont do ukraine aid 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦and act wright for america people and say yes to abortion its not the publics business its a womans i believe i will VOTE democrat i like their values better 🔳🔳🔳🔳🔳🔳🔳
or allow a vote for current plan and issue is cleared by end of day
Smoke and mirrors. There is a bill passed by the Senate that is ready to be voted on.
Does the bill created by Moscow Mike have democrats input? What does it include other than to loan aid to Ukraine?
I also suspect it will be tabled last to ensure leveraging MAGA goals to pass Israel aid and then simply not vote for the Ukraine aid as Putin wants.
It shows hypocrite MJ. He could have passed it months ago, but only now when it comes from himself, it is good.
You give one side the weapons and funds (allies) and give the other side the funds to get weapons and access to weapons through other routes. Then feed the public propaganda to get them to support the whole thing. Make it up..
We've gave enough of our American money out Us taxpayers don't want to have to give no more money to any other country We need to start taking care of our own and mind our own business and take care of what's going on at home first
The US response to the Israeli strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus was overwhelming.
Joe, way to go after the GOP. Lawler speaks the Reagan GOP line, so why are they afraind of mtg.
Fund Ukraine ❤ vote 💙💙
Fund the boarders now!
WHAT?! A GOPer that isn't a trumpet? What's the world coming to?
Hope he soon joins Lizard Cheney and Crybaby Kinzinger as EX-Congressmen.
GREAT CLIP!!
Fix your boarder.
Finally!!
That is what US of A stand for...
Word on the street..msnbc has a new app...
What people need to understand is 80% of the aid sent to Ukraine has been kept in the country. The astronomical numbers you see in aid are spent here to replace the older weapons and equipment sent there. Out with the old, in with the new, make some money on the side. It’s not that confusing for most people.
2024...where has this guy been over the last couple months?
🇦🇺💙💛✌ 🇺🇦 Just another delay tactic that will take more months.
Ukraine and Isreal are not our problems. We need to stay out of both. If you still think our gov is the good guy after Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lybia and Yemen then their is no hope for you at this point
If these countries are working together and are a threat why break up the bills? It looks like Ukraine will only get support if Israel gets support. The Republican have played so many games with Ukrainian lives. I still don't know what board security that hasn't been able to get done for decades has to do with Ukraine. Republicans have shown they don't negotiate in good faith
We can support our allies with loans. Thank you GOP!
Ukraine is not our problem our problem is here at home The United States there are people here dying as well that needs help
Lawler is a good dude.
he is bragging about things everybody knows still not done yet.
What happened woth these rulepublican clowns.
RIP LORI K❤️🌹🙏🏻Why Joe?
You need to fix your boarder first.
Are we finally going to see some common sense and not before time!
This is saving America from going to war.Send the aid now to prevent America getting into war..
Moses Mike's separation of foreign aid is to enable Putin fans to vote against anything Russia doesn't want. This way Repubs can say they did the job without doing it.
He is right , currently the United States is far from behaving like the leader of the free world.
Obligations to correct the intentional harm inflicted upon the black citizens, of the United States.
Lawler is on because he knows that his party is giving him nothing to campaign on.
