While I suspect that some form of aid for Ukraine will pass the House, it will be in a different form than the bill the Senate has already passed. So that means the package goes back to the Senate and they vote on the revised package, and if that process amends what the House passes there will be a reconciliation committee involving House and Senate members to iron out something that both houses can accept. So expect that it will take at least 3 or 4 weeks from when the House passes something until the bill actually gets to President Biden's desk for signature.
Yeah, it's just a ruse by Speaker Johnson to add further delay to his "support" for Ukraine. If he really supported Ukraine he'd have allowed the vote back in October instead of delaying, and send the House on holiday every two weeks each months. I wonder how much Russia is paying him - and he claims to worry about Ukraine corruption? What a pathetic little man, and he calls himself a Christian.
@@stevemawer848cope. Ukraine was never going to win.
@@stevemawer848 His constituents are screaming at him to seal the border. That's why he's delaying. The people of American live in crumbling cities and do not care about Ukraine, nor should they.
will be luck to pass or as weak as piss.
Johnson's constituents do not want monies sent to Ukraine. It is that simple. They live in crumbling cities and do not benefit from the establishment's foreign policy.

nah.... people look back at WW2 and think: so great that the UK and America came to save us! They forgot how the US delayed any involvement until the last moment.
Still listening from Alberta, Canada. I'll keep listening until Ruzzia withdraws from all Ukrainian lands. Slava Ukraini.
BTW, since listening to podcasts like this, I have become active in providing as much financial support as I can to independent podcasts and fundraising activities in support of Ukraine.
Hell yea, Telegraph's and The Enforcer's feeds are usualy the most informative. I also gonna keep on listening both until the Ukrainian victory.

What do we have to do? I live in a country(Ireland) which chooses cowardice over action. We condemn Israel forcefully, but not Russia. My frustration is absolute. We sit at the edge of Europe, where vast lengths of cables lie, below a vast sea whereupon many other resources lie. Yet we have no real Navy, Air force, radar, or any real defenses. I despair.

@@izajahmed8863 Haha! Good answer! Would love to add my medic experience to an armed force. Ireland not included. Maybe Israel needs me!
Vote and make your voice heard. Leverage the relative wealth of your country to assist others that need help urgently.
I served in 1983 in Lebanon with Irish on our side. Excellent soldiers. It is the politicians, not the people, so vote the former out?
@@IngmarBooij It is virtually ALWAYS the politicians, not the people. That should be a clue, but apparently is not, to many of us.
Jake Broe's YT videos illustrate how devious Mike Johnson truly is. This is simply the appearance of effort on Ukraine support. The Senate has to pass with 60% and any amendments require Johnson to vote again. This is all about Delay and Distract, Trump's expertise.
It is so frustrating. The GOP is playing games with people's lives and freedoms. They are a nonsense party. Its embarrassing.
👍💯
Mad Mike, lower than a snake's belly
That was my first thought. He's been stalling for half a year. Why stop now?
So senator Thomas Massie from Kentucky is all Marjorie Taylor Green can dredge up? Laughing out loud!!! She's been out flanked...sorry Putin lovers..that's a wrap.

I am in Washington now as a delegate with the Ukraine Action Summit, Razom for Ukraine, 500 committed Ukraine activists. We are accompanied by the mothers of American volunteer soldiers who died heroes defending freedom and Ukraine. We met individually with the Representative of about 49 states. * We hope and believe that the breakthrough is coming in our Congress. It feels like it is, and it must. Capitol Hill is brimming with the energy of a breakthrough. (Greg, from a bar on Capitol Hill full of Ukrianians, singing songs of victory, full of pain, yet hopeful. Washington DC 4-16-2024)
Hang in there the calvary is coming...fashionably late...but it's coming.
Don’t hold your breath ,mannequin Mike could of just past the original bill months ago ,this is just stalling tactics after visiting his con man boss the orange magnet for complete fools. What a circus the USA has become.
Is that war still going on? I thought we had won it already.
It so strongly feels that Johnson, like Trump, is somehow supported and at least strongly influenced by Russian interference in US democracy. He opts not to govern, on anything of meaning.
Meanwhile Ukrainians are dying in their homes because of No power for heating, Insufficient Air defences because of GOP BS.
But quickly come to Israel defence when Iran attacks,Stinks of political BS.
Pity USA is an undependable ally.
When the tide turns, as it will, we will breathe a sigh of relief, as the news begins to change for the better. Well done chaps! Your perseverance is already legend, as your ratings keep rising.

Its a naive fantasy to dream Ukraine has any chance against Mighty Russia.
@@szmiabg patience, troll. Patience. Slowly but surely, as it had to do with the rise of Hitler, Europe is rearming, tooling up, now that it has realized it is faced with a new Fürer who will stop at nothing. He must be stopped and your Fürer vanquished.
Great show but I take offense at the word “gifted”. These are our responsibilities to defeat Russia. They are not gifts.
Agreed, it's a duty we share with our allies and more fundamentally, a moral obligation to humanity. Its important to always use the terms and passive language on the subject that fit and use correct definitions as to not disservice the support that Ukraine urgently needs and quite frankly deserves.
Yet our US leaders dither and betray the tens of millions who have endured for and continue to fight in a cause that heavily affects our country's way of living and worldly interests
We have no “responsibility” to defeat Russia. The Cold War ended over 30 years ago as did our “responsibility”.

Not sure a vote in Congress slighly different to the existing positive vote by the Senate does anything more than send it back to the Senate for more weeks of waiting?
Yep it adds weeks of delays. MAGA Mike Johnson is doing Trump's bidding.
That's Johnson's plan, delay and delay. I've said for months that US aid to Ukraine is dead and has been for nearly 7 months.
@@philiplbrownyou may well be right, but why on Earth would it be the US narional interest to strengthen a country which openly insults and mocks it, imprisons its citizens, and even says it is at war with it?
@@stephenhill545We strengthened China and China imprisons its citizens. Your point is what?
@@stephenhill545 It is not the US intent to support Russia but Ukraine, free, democratic, the US proclaimed Ukraine to be an ally and really, there are no arguments not to support Ukraine, large majority is pro, 70% Senate, President and majority of the House.

Luv the humour at the end. After all the bad news it's gerat to have a bit of a laugh. Cheers guys. :)
Dom, in the US the best thinking is still that if we can get a Ukraine vote to the House floor, it will pass. And any bill now is better than standing still. I'm sure the mood couldn't be worse no matter where one is sitting, but here there is a sense that Republicans will vote on Ukraine Aid in some form. Our Progressives are uniformly refusing to sign the Discharge Petition, which is incredibly discouraging and perhaps seals the fate of the original Senate Foreign Aid Supplemental. This means time will be wasted, again.. The press conference with the mothers of the fallen soldiers went out on Reuters, AP, Fox, VOA. Gold Star mom Allison Nevinson, mother of hero Jehrico, was particularly moving.
Mannequin Mike needs to be moved to a shop display in Moscow he is worthless in the free world.

Great jobs chaps, thanks for the updates.
I hope the package goes through house of reps 🤞
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 love from the UK 🇬🇧
I Hope NOT!!
They will probably pass the House, but then they have to go back to the Senate where the MAGA Republican senators will filibuster the Ukraine bill and, in effect, kill it.
Biden has already said, he's not signing anything unless it's tied to Ukraine so, unfortunately, this will not go anywhere.

Ukraine needs plenty of long-range recon drones and attack drones with long loitering times that can operate in the face of Russian electronic warfare (EW), i.e. jamming and spoofing.
Ukraine also needs anti-radiation loitering munitions to take out SHORAD vehicles, SAM radars, EW systems and counter-battery radars.
Any thanks for your great camaraderie and good humour.

I was very disappointed in Lord Cameron's response,, sounded like a Blinken/Sullivan response - no spine!
it is the standard way that US hawks think but highly awkward and absurd to hear it out of the mouth of an englishman let alone a political representative. Goes to show how intensely morally corrupt these people are..
Listening from Buckinghamshire
No vote yet though.
Saturday
Ukraine could do with anti-drone drones, especially to take out Russian recon drones and attack drones (including Shaheds).
These drones could work in any of the following ways:
- Hit to kill (i.e. a Ukrainian drone flies into a Russian drone and explodes)
- Drones that shoot nets at enemy drones that they get tangled up in (this is good because the drone can be recovered undamaged and analysed for weaknesses)
- Fit drones with guns (shotguns would probably be the most effective at close ranges without requiring great accuracy - a way would need to be developed to deal with the recoil though)
- Fit drones with the Epirus Leonidas microwave pod to burn out the electronics in drones
- Larger drones (e.g. Reaper-sized drones) could carry air-to-air ordnance like ATAS (Air-To-Air Stinger) or APKWS rockets (these could possibly also shoot down cruise missiles and attack helicopters)
Come on, Congress, vote already.
I love this show. It is the best information on Ukraine on the Internet congratulations.!🇨🇦

Its another useless game changer hyped up weapon. Lasers do not work in rain fog or snow.
I.dont understand how Ukraine ran out of missles? There are 100 Patriot systems in Europe that is 1000's of missles and the other systems have the same amount if not more. How the hell does Ukraine not have any more?
They manufacture 550 Patriot 3 missiles a year! Israel just blew off $1.35 bil. worth of air defense missiles a few nights ago. There is a finite supply of these munitions worldwide. Western armies are not built for peer to peer combat, they're built to drop bombs, unhindered, on places like Afghanistan and to deploy special operations forces and neither one of those things is capable of winning a war, which is why the West keeps losing them.
Recently 2 weapons warehouses and a military supply train were blown up, lots of NATO supplied artillery and rockets gone
Zelensky sold them in the wholesale to finish the payment of the villa in Egypt.
Go Ukraine 🇺🇦
They not getting the tools apparently tho are they.
Lmfao the same outfits.
Sincerely enjoying it boys
Why does Mike Johnson have so much power? Is he the king?
It is like Rome. Rome fell due to internal corruption, though it was a great military power.
This is how usa works first they all gung ho then then get kickback and run like vietnam afghanistan etc etc etc .
Ya people seem to have forgotten... even korea
Great News..
Like, really, a country starts cancelling Russian culture and language and heading itself to NATO, having millions of Russian speaking citizens, wins a war with Russia and now it is a “fight for freedom”😆 with a neighbor that is many times ahead by natural resources, arms, men power etc
This is like listening to a group of toddlers talking in a wendy house
61 billion dollars while so much of America looks like a 3rd world country

Maybe people just recognise BS for what it is?
The US should make better use of the money. Throw it into an ocean.
Why is military aid for Ukraine soi dependent on US and Congress? The non US states that make up NATO have a combined GDP not far off that of US m surely they can provide material that is not coming from US.
I think zeplonker needs a couple more yaughts and his wife needs a trip to France to buy some more fancy clothes and jewellery 🏴🇺🇸👍
@@shanewilliams503 WHAT HAS YOUR SILLY COMMENT GOT TO DO WITH THIS DISCUSSION
The US was about 70% of NATO capacity last time i checked. One hopes this disproportion changes, but it hasn't yet. If Ukraine's victory is measured in equipment and munitions, the US is the current guarantor of UA success or failure. For better or worse.
@@gregoryadair3223 That disproportion does have to change, olherwise it fuels the complaint from the Republicans and MAGA that Uncle Sam is picking up the tab.
We already do
This may well be the last big aid package for Ukraine considering the challenges of getting this one through. My gut feeling is that the west is merely prolonging the inevitable and naturally it means a lot of people will die unnecessarily between now and when Ukraine finally decides throw in the proverbial white towel. At that time many will ask why the war was allowed to go for so long.
As a humanitarian I honestly believe that the idea of fighting on until the last drop of blood is unethical and immoral. Ukraine was okay as a neutral state which was neither pro Russian or Ukraine. The western media never debates about whether Ukraine was better of as a neutral state or not. Instead we are being constantly bombarded with propaganda rhetoric which doesn't benefit anyone.
Your words sound like what a russian would write to keep people from continuing the support.
Endless delays by Johnson. He has no intention of helping Ukraine.
Thank God
Unnamed sources “close to the matter” just doesn’t sound to trustworthy to me. Especially when the details of the deal are unknown.
Nope , not gonna give it more money ever again !
Dont understand they just got 1.5 million shells?
Stop playing politics.america should help its allies.the world is watching
"General Sir Richard Barrons has told the BBC there is "a serious risk" of Ukraine losing the war this year.
The reason, he says, is "because Ukraine may come to feel it can't win".
"And when it gets to that point, why will people want to fight and die any longer, just to defend the indefensible?""
That's why support is important.
@@anthonyhulse1248 - then there is "a serious risk" we'll be throwing good money after bad...
His comments are directed at keeping support coming and the consequences of that support not arriving!
It's up to Ukrainians if and when this war ends, it's our duty to support Ukraine for as long as they want us to, it's NOT up to us to give up on them EVER!
Add to that that Medvedev is demanding full annexation of all of Ukraine and expansion of wars further into Europe and this could be a very dark time. When Russia annexes Moldova, Georgia, and Belarus that will be the sign that NATO is next. Europe failing to defend itself could be catastrophic.
it seems at least some see the writing on the wall. In the meantime, another BBC hitpiece full of lies posted on their news site. The so called 'russian meatgrinder' which is used to describe the russian attrition tactic in which ukrainians are methodically killed is instead flipped on its head. Now it's about russians being killed! And still claiming the absurd 50.000 russian vs 31.000 ukrainian dead figures nobody believes.
Ignoring reality and/or flipping it 180 degrees seems the modus operandi for official channels and this propaganda channel.
Pride goes before a fall!
$304 billion total debt versus $64 Trillions total debt. (U.S. led G7/Nato/EU)
Looks like Russia won the sovereign debt crisis too in the game of capitalism.

Moe first rate journalism from the team.
The $60 billion to Ukraine is equivalent to German V1s and V2s in late 1944. Good for the audience in cinema clips but won’t change the situation on the battlefields
Support Ukraine in peaceful negotiations!!!!! Stop war in Ukraine!!!!! STOP GENOCIDE IN UKRAINE!!!!! GIVE ALL FOR SELF DEFENCE OF Ukraine!!!!!!!
This podcast is in for a rude awakening once Ukraine collapses.
In in process but hey, Ukraine is winning 😂😂😂
nato bots still coping 🤣
genocidal russian bots.
Listning form Sweden and a good episode as always!
More money to the US arms manufacturers..
Please DO NOT stop the support for Ukraine! It seems that the world is more focussed on the Israel/Gaza situation, when Ukraine should not be left on their own. Europe is in danger, if Russia takes Ukraine! Everybody with half a brain knows Putin will not stop at Ukraine!!! Europe, UK and USA need to act NOW!!

Uk can blame the republicans if they are overrun
Support Ukraine the western world as Well as Ukraine is at stake
Thanks bois
This is an excellent review of the current political situation.
I like straggly beards 😅
Wow, thanks again for another great episode.
I imagine that Russia is not very confident in any of their atomic missiles, given their widespread failure to maintain state assets. I expect quite a few would fail to launch, launch and fail to go where anywhere near the intended target, or simply detonate at or near the launch site. This scenario would suggest, that an attack on a Ukrainian power plant , is the closest thing Russia has to a viable nuclear threat. It might also partially explain why they are not concerned about the proximity of the bomb site to their own borders, as an atomic disaster near their borders is much better than one within their own borders.
Switch off your Masonic media and get a clue, your total ignorance and fantasy life are embarrassing.
We should have took the initiative early on..this would be over..our response was way too timid..I'm definitely not a war monger..but I do understand power and how to use it for good.
This is the reason why Russia insists on having the largest nuclear warhead stockpile in the world. Because it provides enough spares that some portion of them will probably work. They will try to send multiple weapons at each target.
$60 billion may delay the outcome, but it will not change it. Ukraine cannot defeat Russia.
Funding Ukraine will merely bring further devastaton to that country and prolong the suffering of both peoples.
Why exactly shouldn't they be able to beat russia, if ammo and kit is provided? Even now, with the russian advances still going, underammoed ukraininas are still inflicting enormous losses to the invader. How long can russia keep sending people to the slaughter?
Cant the US make sure armaments destined for Ukraine are ready and packed for transport asap. Even if it's sent to another NATO country - final destination Ukraine.
Surely Ukraine would receive the goods far quicker. They can't wait that long.. too much red tape. Just get it there, by whichever way is the fastest
sorry, no money no nothing. Traitors.
Remember that Ukraine embezzled 10 million dollars worth of equipment at this point. No sane person would give them anything again so easily and quickly. It's a shame but is true.
Yeah can get 128 or 800 billion or trillion, ukraine is done for.
Your lies are not convincing anymore 😅
Europe's GDP is almost 9 times Russia's GDP. Why should US tax payers pay for Ukraine weapons? Europe can easily give Ukraine all they need to defeat Russia. Please do some real journalism.
Please do some real maths.
GDP does not win wars. Industry, resources, manpower and energy wins wars and the EU Europe is weak in all those areas, partly through having such an abusive relationship with the USA.
