The USA is not fighting for it's life.

I am waiting for the Republicans to grow up. This is ridiculous.

The Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the entire Joint Chiefs should be called up on for their opinion (click here) of the aid packages to our allies as it is a national security issue.

Providing support to allies is an OBLIGATION that ensures the USA national security. Every country the USA calls allies is such for the protection of the USA. They are vital to our own national security, not just theirs. Tuberville finally relented and now this mess. 

WHY IS THERE A SIXTY VOTE THRESHOLD ON NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUES?

Every one of those three countries holds the line on threats to the USA. Every one of those countries. Not simply one or the other, but, all three are pivotal to USA national security interests and the Republicans are playing politics.

The American people need to wake up to all this gaming and put people in office that actually belong there.

The Senate has blocked (click here) a supplemental funding bill that included financial aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan as well as provisions aimed at bolstering border security. The vote, which fell mostly along party lines, increases the likelihood that Congress will fail to approve more funding for Ukraine before the end of the year, as the White House has warned that Kyiv is desperately in need of more aid.

The vote was 49 to 51, as every Senate Republican opposed advancing the legislation. Sixty votes were needed to take up the bill. Republicans in both chambers of Congress had demanded stricter border regulations in exchange for their support, and they said the bill failed to meet their requirements....

The border issues are non-issues. The Republicans are making a mountain out of a mole hill. The people coming to the USA southern are not violence militias. The are unarmed human beings. There is very little to discuss. The funding for their countries were cut in past administrations and now there are migrations north because of the lack of employment and services.

The issue of the USA southern border has absolutely NOTHING to do with the security interests of Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.

NOTHING!!!

An ongoing rise in the number of migrants (click here) coming from Central America’s so-called Northern Triangle—comprised of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras—has cast a spotlight on a long-suffering part of the world. Governments in the region have made some efforts to mitigate the poverty, violence, and corruption that are driving citizens away, but the problems remain widespread.

Recent U.S. administrations have varied in their responses to the Northern Triangle challenge, which have included changes to foreign aid and U.S. immigration policies. So far, the Joe Biden administration has proposed a $4 billion plan to address the root causes of migration from Central America, worked to stimulate private-sector investment in the region, and extended temporary legal protections for certain migrant groups....

The southern border issues HAS TO BE SOLVED, not ignored!!!!

This is so ridiculously political it is disgusting. We know what works and why it works. This is all an enflamed issue because the Republicans like the politics. it is the ONLY reason the southern border is in the middle of national security funding for three allied countries in desperate need of the USA's help.

What is being said about the USA Border is unethical and highly immoral. People are dying when they should be home working and building their country. But, because previous administrations cut funding and destroyed the progress made this is now a political focus. Republicans are NOT RESPONSIBLE and DO NOT GOVERN!
