After a missile hit Poland last week, confusion swirled, with initial reports that Russia was responsible later rejected by Western officials, who said it was probably an accident by Ukrainian air defenses
The congressman suggested that the Ukrainian leadership was trying to cause a larger conflict in the US.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wants to drag us into WW3. Money won't be going to Ukraine anymore. She called for an end to the war and for peace.
—Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 (@RepMTG) November 16, 2022
When the Republicans won a majority in the House of Representatives, they laid out a plan to audit the aid the US gives to Ukraine.
If the plan comes to fruition, it would signal a much more skeptical approach to Ukraine's cause, even though the measure does not amount to the full withdrawal of aid that Greene has called for.
The campaign to cut off American support for the fight against Russia has been going on for months.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have caused some Republicans to argue that the US should not be involved in any more foreign conflicts. They questioned Zelenskyy's motives and wanted the US government's focus to be on curbs on immigration.
Donald Trump questioned US support for the country.
Russia is pushing misinformation about the conflict to appeal to US conspiracisms.
Since Russia's invasion in February, Ukraine has received $60 billion in aid and military assistance from the US and other countries.
President Zelenskyy told US lawmakers not to weaken their support for his country.
There have been conflicting messages in the US mass media, particularly from the Republican side, that we need to be more careful about supporting the Ukrainians. Zelenskyy told CNN at the time that it was a very troubling signal.
A poll conducted by the Wall Street Journal late last month found that half of the Republican grassroots wanted to cut aid to Ukraine.
Powerful figures in the party, like Kevin McCarthy, support the stance. In October, McCarthy said that if Republicans win back the House, they wouldn't be able to give a blank check.
According to the political director of the Republican Accountability Project, a narrow Republican majority in the House meant that lawmakers such as Greene would wield a lot of influence.
There is no evidence that Kevin McCarthy would do anything other than give in to the Republicans.
The new balance of power in Congress isn't likely to change aid to Ukraine. According to a veteran DC political consultant, support for Ukraine is supported by both Democrats and Republicans in congress.
They might be able to put certain conditions on further aid. They're not likely to be able to eliminate that aid.
He said that there was too much support in both parties for the fight against the Russians.
All of the aid bills have bipartisan support. McCaul said last week that support would continue.
It is "America First" to help NATO. He said that it was "America First" to help the country of Ukraine. We want to avoid global conflict in Ukraine.
According to an MSNBC columnist, McCarthy may have signaled a willingness to restrictUkraine aid as part of a ploy to negotiate compromises and budget cuts with Democrats.
Ayres warned House Republicans that pressing the issue could make them unpopular with moderate voters who care about crime and the economy.
He said that no one put the Republicans in charge of the House to ban all abortions or cut off aid to Ukraine. He said that they put the Republicans in control of things like inflation, crime and border security.
