Wow McConnell!

[imanamerican63]

You now call for a new military aid package for Ukraine? What happened to the one you put the kabosh on when you were Majority Leader!? Where were you when Trump didn’t sent the money to Ukraine? Where were you when Trump used the money as a bribe to get information on Biden? Oh so many unanswered questions?

We all know! You were hiding in your shell!

Yes Ukraine needs help now, but you helped stop them from getting it a lot sooner!

[lapfog_1]

1. Empty promise now

will be very difficult to give the Ukrainians any meaningful military aid since there will soon be no way to actually deliver such aid.

Small arms, ammunition, rations... that is what we will be limited to very shortly.

no more surface to air missiles, no new tanks or armored vehicles, absolutely no planes...

sorry... too little too late McTurtle

16. Er ... Ukraine has a border with Poland

Poland is a NATO member and would surely cooperate considering if Ukraine falls to Russia they could be next.

[DENVERPOPS]

24. Surrounding NATO nations, like Poland

probably would like to keep all their arms for when Putin invades them next............

[lapfog_1]

25. russia will control the airspace

and the number of border crossing where you could move modern armor on trucks or trains is very limited.

I don't think NATO will allow Ukraine to send soldiers to Poland and drive the tanks through fields across the border.


Like I said, the help that Ukraine might expect at this time is light arms, ammo, rations.

Maybe some smuggled shoulder fired anti-tank weapons.

42. You were saying ...

28. which scares the crap outta me.

My daughter deploys to Poland in a month or so.


And now russia is issuing not veiled threats to Finland?


Why do megalomaniacs keep gaining power around the world? ugh

[True Blue American]

49. Poland has already delivered munitions to Ukraine

They received it last Thursday. Other NATO members are helping with jets, helicopters and war machines.

Biden approved $350. Million in aid yesterday!

[Fritz Walter]

38. Even one on a fence post?

The story:

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year-old Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man.

Eventually the topic got around to politics and then they discussed some new guy who was far too big for his shoes as a politician.

The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, he is a post turtle." Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a ‘post turtle’ was.

The old rancher said, ‘When you’re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a ‘post turtle’."

The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face, so he continued to explain. "You know he didn’t get up there by himself, he doesn’t belong up there, he doesn’t know what to do while he is up there, and you just wonder what kind of a dumb ass put him up there in the first place."

[calimary]

39. I'm sorry - hurts just to think about it!!!

[Joinfortmill]

3. Yup.

[Ford_Prefect]

4. Pathetic!!!!!

Now that is has become clear that no aid will likely help nor arrive in time Mitch is the war hawk once more.

[Rebl2]

5. Exactly!

[ShazzieB]

6. At least he's not rootin' for Putin like some other Republicans. 😠

God help me, the last thing I would ever want to do is defend Turtle Boy the Chinless Wonder. But it's a sign of how totally bat shit some of his GOP cronies are that they are making him look almost good by comparison.

He's a piece of crap, but if he wants to do something to help Ukraine, well yeah, let's do something to help Ukraine. 🇺🇦

[NullTuples]

46. McConnell's PAC distributed Russian funds to GOP campaigns.

Addison McConnell Jr is much more...cagey and indirect than to openly endorse Putin. He says one thing & does the opposite, always careful to provide himself with plausible deniability.

[Evolve Dammit]

7. Kiev will be gone in a couple days. Too little too late Moscow Mitch.

[NJCher]

9. I don't think it's too little too late

Yeah, it's late and it would be better had we shorn up the Ukrainians back when.

However, just going on the morning news, they are holding out in many areas. This will be a sniping at the enemy situation for a long time. They will need that aid; let's get it headed there NOW.

[DENVERPOPS]

29. While I emotionally follow your thinking,

I believe there are many far reaching trains of thoughts, considerations, and consequences, to think about....................

If Putin, the most psychotic and sociopathic son of a bitch that has ever walked the earth, gets confronted or clobbered by us or anyone else for that matter, who knows what he will do. Make some guesses, and think about that.............

Putin has been in Russian Gov't all his life, he has been obsessed his entire life, with his thinking about getting the Russian Country to this point.........He is old, and has nothing, not one thing, to lose............

We have NEVER had the situation that the world now faces,..... up until now..............................

People had better wake up, to the blatant fact, that this situation/threat isn't EVEN REMOTELY SIMILAR to Korea, VietNam, Iraq, or Afghanistan.....or ANYTHING that the world has ever seen before..............

[dlk]

10. McConnell will always do what's politically expedient for Mitch

Better late than never, though.

[Happy Hoosier]

11. Gee... if only...

He hadn't defended that dickwad while he was holding Ukrainian security funding hostage for political favors.

FUCK. ME.

[The Wizard]

12. Defense contractors sent "donations"

to his offshore money laundry.

[dchill]

13. It really is too late for Moscow Mitch to be an American patriot.

[mysteryowl]

14. his decision is based on what serves himself best.

It has nothing to do with actually helping people.

[onetexan]

20. +1 K&R

[myohmy2]

15. he's...

...just a shell of his former self...

...has what he's been mouthing been approved by Mar A Lago?

...or just more turtle wax?...(with a 101+ uses)

...

[NoMoreRepugs]

17. The Republican brand is about getting and maintaining power - nothing else.

Nothing, absolutely nothing else matters and EVERYTHING other than themselves can and will be sacrificed to get.

[mrsadm]

45. SO TRUE!!!!!!!!

[Kid Berwyn]

18. Stuck his finger claw in the air...

…and felt a change in wind direction.

Still a traitor, Moscow Mitch.

[Traildogbob]

19. Fuck Mitch

His Russian aluminum factory promised in Kentucky went Kabooshi. So now he grew a turtle ball.

[lefthandedskyhook]

21. It is an empty shell

named mitch

[DENVERPOPS]

22. Don't forget McConnell's joined at the hip

relationship with China, who BTW, is now siding with Russia.

And remember that McConnell's wife, Secretary of Labor? has parents that are Chinese oligarchs..............

[SheltieLover]

26. This!👆

[DENVERPOPS]

32. Thank you, thank you, thank you SL

I knew there was some other "thinking" people out there...........

[SheltieLover]

34. Yw

[DENVERPOPS]

33. Also, SL

I would like nothing better than to kick Putin's military asses back into the stone age, but

I believe there are many far reaching trains of thoughts, considerations, and consequences, to think about………………..

Putin, you have to know, has pre-planned for every contingency the world can do to this attack of his, and he also has a pre-planned response for each one……….

If Putin, the most psychotic and sociopathic son of a bitch that has ever walked the earth, gets confronted or clobbered by us or anyone else for that matter, who knows what he will do. Make some guesses, and think about that.............

Putin has been in Russian Gov't all his life, he has been obsessed his entire life, with his thinking about getting the Russian Country to this point, and going for it.........He is old, and has nothing, not one fucking thing, to lose............

We have NEVER had the situation that the world now faces,..... up until now..............................

People had better wake up, to the blatant fact, that this situation/threat isn't EVEN REMOTELY SIMILAR to Korea, VietNam, Iraq, or Afghanistan.....or ANYTHING that the world has ever seen before in the way of “WAR”………….

I would not want to be Biden, right now…….

[SheltieLover]

37. Absolutely!

This article by a retired Russian general gives me hope that someone there will remove the mad man from power:

23. Moscow Mitch gave Pootie earlier encouragement.

Moscow Mitch gave Pootie earlier encouragement.

[ificandream]

35. So did Trump. And he still does.

[zentrum]

27. Did it because his

.......arms dealer donors want him to make himself and them much ricer. Period.

[czarjak]

31. The Rigger

[llashram]

36. the Republikkkan Party as a minority party, at this time,

has extreme members who don't care about the human costs of their attempted majority politics aim. Words, words, words and politics. Human lives are used as leverage, always in war and suddenly by the Republicans in league with a fascist aggressor, a Party that, historically coughed up the likes of Joseph P. McCarthy that hated Communists/communism. No surprise there especially with the cosiness of the trump years with their Russian 'Pootie'.

I believe the human face of concern, in this current crisis, is only being shown by Democrats. We have the will to stand against the fascists' notion of eventual world dominance. We did start preparations early enough to show the ex-KGB director we would treat an invasion of a sovereign state, Ukraine as an act of war against a Democratic-leaning country. We can contain, at the moment, the progress of fascist intentions without fear. Fascism is Hitler to me. Small men starting big wars. Hopefully, we will not reach that stage.

McConnell is a political opportunist-solicitor and disseminator of false information to seduce a captive audience/societal populace/citizenry. The cult of trump-miller...Ivanka, Jarad, and the boys are all stirring a slowly emptying pot of grifter-ing... ALL ARE.

The side of right, turning back the fascist elements is what here? How much more will be needed? By the US.

[Irish_Dem]

40. He makes the offer too late, but looks good now.

So he does Putin's bidding, but covers it up.

[Emile]

41. McConnell has no morals!

[cstanleytech]

43. I don't trust Moscow Mitch and I would not be surprised if he has an ulterior motive.

Top two that spring to mind are his intent to use the higher gas prices that the war is currently causing as a midterm attack against the Democrats or he or his wife could own stock in some of the oil companies and he is looking to profit off the higher oil prices.

[hay rick]

44. This is his opportunity to crawl out of Trump's rectum.

I don't have a dog in this fight.

[Joinfortmill]

47. Send the aid and fuck Mitch, the yellow-bellied anti-American, money-grubbing swine.

[spanone]
