So GQP lawmakers support jets to Ukraine.

[Stinky The Clown]

Why?

Jets to defeat Putin's army.

Supported by the American pro Putin party.

What's their game?

[PortTack]

1. Because it's opposite of what the right thing to do is..gaslight, full well knowing the situation

[panader0]

12. Yup. It's because Biden does not want to send jets.

[Chainfire]

2. The don't want to be seen as peaceniks...

It is bad for their macho image.

[dwayneb]

3. Diversion - anything to re-elect the orange slime

They have marching orders from the Orange one to help him backpedal from the honest assessment he gave of Putin at the beginning of the war - that he ADMIRES this monster, his cleverness, how "smart" he is as he reduces Ukraine to rubble and fills mass graves with innocent civilians.

This is all about getting a Fascist elected to office in 2024. Any lie, any diversion, any tactic is fine. Because once they get Trump or his successor in power they will never relinquish it. And then we will see the true face of the American Fascist Right.

[Thomas Hurt]

4. Biden Admin decided it was not a good idea, so that makes a wonderful idea to the christofascists

simple as that, nothing else needed.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

6. Bingo!

[spanone]

5. They only 'support' it because President Biden is against it.

They supported banning Russia oil imports until Biden did it.

[onecaliberal]

8. That.

[tanyev]

15. Yep. Guarantee if Biden wanted to do it

they would all be screaming about how that would escalate the war.

[bluestarone]

7. What repugs are supporting planes?

I know it's only because Biden's team says no, but which ones support planes? I'm PISSED because BOTH North Dakota senators voted NO on Ukraine package.

[Stinky The Clown]

13. Its been in all the papers . . . .

More than 40 GOP senators urge Biden to aid ‘transfer of aircraft’ to Ukraine

GOP senators demand that U.S. help transfer fighter jets to Ukraine

et cetera

[bluestarone]

14. TY! Didn't see this before.

Kinda explains why my asshole senators didn't support Joe's plan. They must want WW3.

[Salviati]

9. They support getting the jets to Ukraine because...

... it's becoming a logistical problem for Biden to make the deal happen, and as long as it doesn't they can hammer him about it.

[paleotn]

10. Hope to blame Biden for escalation.

They hope he's forced to put Americans in harms way so they can run on that in the midterms. They're scum. Pure and simple. Scum.

[Baked Potato]

19. I agree with this, and I think

they actually want US troops to be casualties and have US aircraft shot down. Repubs know an air war would ramp up hostilities and destruction that would spill out to neighboring countries.

Like you said, all to be used politically. Terrible evil MFers.

[Calculating]

11. Because they can blame Biden for it not happening

obviously.

[Ohio Joe]

16. Yet... They vote against Ukrainian military aid...

They lie. They say one thing and do another.

[Amishman]

17. Russia's wrecked financially, no more money coming

Congress critters only stay bought as long as the checks keep rolling in.

[Hav]

18. If it's about the Migs and other models

that the Ukrainian army is familiar with, for example from Poland, then I also don't get the current roadblocks against it.
If it supports Ukraine's effort in their fight against a cruel invader, I also don't really care who else is for it. They need help now.
There may be some Repubs who repeat Kremlin propaganda 1 to 1, but I don't think all Repubs are Putin puppets. Further, it seems Ukraine's resistance is popuplar with the voters.

[Emile]

20. It is all partisan, everything always partisan with cons. Even a pandemic

they turned into a partisan issue. How else can they can convince average working people to vote for politicians who's only agenda is tax cuts for tax evading billionaires!

[lame54]

21. What states are they built in?

[Emile]

22. Then there's that too!

[FakeNoose]

23. Ukraine needs MIGs, and we don't make them

We'd have to buy them somewhere... I dunno ... maybe Russia



That's a bunch of mularkey!

[Stinky The Clown]

25. Poland has MIGs and has offered to give them to Ukraine

Biden said not to that.

You probably know that.

[WarGamer]

24. cuz GOP'ers are warmongering chickenhawks? Always have been??
