Democrats should accept the House bipartisan security bill. If Republicans reject it, they will have to explain the reason.

The $66 billion aid package to defend Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan's borders is dead on arrival.

Our Border comes first, and not the scam of guaranteeing 5000 illegals a day and more if Biden chooses (last version of the bill)

No, both are important. I don't think the House bipartisan security bill permits 5000 illegals per day. If Russia conquers Ukraine, Putin will continue his aggression just as Hitler did. The US would now have to supply personnel and weapons to fight Russia. With the conquest of Ukraine, Russia would become more powerful because it would now have the resources of Ukraine, the breadbasket of Europe.

The previous bill they tried to push through did. Remember the left media telling you it gave republicans everything they wanted for the border yet they refused it? It really capped the caught influx of the border invasion tat 5000 illegals a day with a trick clause to allow Biden to bypass even that if he felt like it. It funded speeding up the illegal entry and paper work.

If Russia conquers Ukraine, Putin will continue his aggression just as Hitler did.

No one should fall for that narrative anymore. I watched it happen in real time and didn't need Putin's interview. The 2014 coup removal of the democratically elected president, the interim government turning the country's military on it's own citizens. Expanding NATO and moving weapons into Ukraine to get weapons/bases close to Russia's border. Putin telling them all along the way to turn back. Biden and the CIA news acted as if Putin never spoke and pushed the narrative that "he is going to invade for no reason but evil" instead of heading Putin's multiple warnings. And then Biden sending in more anti-aircraft weapons to the Russian border after Putin's troops are lining the border and Putin's final warning to turn back are mocked.

That was the Senate bipartisan bill not the House's.

Were that true a peace deal would be simple. Putin withdraws from Ukraine. In return, NATO membership would remain as it is, but Putin won't accept this because he wants Ukraine.

That has been on the table the whole time and continues to be. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson pressure President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to cut off peace negotiations with Russia the last time this agreement was almost made. This was the demand and terms from the start and through the whole event.

reports in mid-March indicated that Russian and Ukrainian delegations "made significant progress" toward a 15-point peace deal that would involve Ukraine renouncing its NATO ambitions in exchange for the withdrawal of Moscow's troops.

"Russia has sent signals they are interested in a ceasefire along current lines publicly for a long time—they have said publicly that accepting Russian control of Ukrainian territory is a prerequisite for negotiations," the State Department spokesperson said. "But we haven't seen anything to indicate Russia is truly prepared to enter into some sort of negotiation that involves backing away from its maximalist demands."

"What Russia wants are articles of capitulation," the spokesperson added.
