The GOP Senators demanding policy changes to border policy as a condition of aid to Ukraine is an outrage and dangerous to our national security interests.. It is the latest example of the Senate holding national security interests hostage to their directly unrelated priorities, even though the majority of them support Ukraine's war.. Their inability to deal with Sen. Tuberville holding up military and diplomatic post approvals until his version of anti-abortion law is adopted is another example of GOP hostage taking. .. The House Speaker backs GOP hostage-taking of demanding a cut in IRS funding before approving aid to Ukraine. This is nuts. It may be good politics and strategy, but it is a stupid way to make public policy. National security and defense are at stake and should be considered on its merits, not tied to unrelated issues. That the GOP playing politics with it is a shocker: What is being hurt by this strategy once was the top priority of the GOP: national defense and national security. The GOP were the hawks in our very recent history. Now, strangely enough, the Democrats and the GOP have changed places. Biden was wise to include in his funding proposal not only aid to Ukraine and Israel but also address GOP wishes on added compliance to existing laws to border security funding and more attention to the potential aggression of China in increasing military aid to Taiwan. This is the GOP response? It is the height of irresponsibility. Ronald Reagan just turned over in his grave.
