'When it comes to Ukraine aid, there are three types of Congressional
Republicans in America:
The first group opposes Ukraine aid for the sole purpose of making President
Joe Biden look bad, politically.
The second group is trying to score points with the extreme right in America
who actually admire Vladimir Putin as some sort of white Evangelical savior and
Trump ally.
The third group of Congressional Republicans is a little more sensible,
although their objections are misguided.
For instance, take the argument that Ukraine's aid "needs more oversight."
First, the U.S. has placed guardrails on how Ukraine may use many American
weapon systems to prevent escalation. Many of these defensive limitations were
established so that Putin couldn't say that the U.S. was directly facilitating
strikes on Russian soil.
Personally, I think that's a ridiculous limitation. Russian weapons have been
used to kill Americans in every single U.S. conflict going back to the Korean
War.
Regardless, I think this shows that the Biden administration is putting serious
thought into the consequences of America's actions. Contemplating future
consequences of one's actions with intent to avoid recklessly provoking a
nuclear power, shows "oversight."
But these conservatives also demand that every piece of military equipment (and
ammo) sent to Ukraine be accounted for.
I got news for you, Congress…'
