Deep dives
Democrat Senator Reed and Secretary Austin discuss Ukraine and young Americans
During a Senate briefing, Democrat Senator Jack Reed raised the question of lending Ukraine military aid versus potentially sending American soldiers to combat. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin agreed with the senator's sentiment, highlighting the importance of making the right choice. However, the speaker questions the necessity of getting involved in every war and expresses opposition to sending American boys overseas. This opposition is fueled by concerns over the lack of vital American interests at stake in Ukraine or Israel, and the enduring nature of territorial conflicts in both regions.
Republican Speaker's strategy to fund Israel and Ukraine
The Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, is pushing for funding to support Israel in its war and is focusing on splitting the Democrats on this issue. By framing the debate as a matter of good versus evil, light versus darkness, he ensures that Democratic support for Israel will alienate some members of their base, while opposing Israel may estrange their donors and more centrist members. Additionally, Johnson plans to offset the funding by pulling money from the IRS, leveraging public dislike for the agency to gather support. This strategic approach aims to put Democrats in a bind and advance Johnson's pro-Israel agenda.
