Uh no. Republicans control the House which is enough to prevent even $1 from being spent or sent anywhere. https://www.perplexity.ai/search/What-are-some-yxB.y

There’s not some big mystery here. Democrats are proposing bill after bill after bill, and republicans are loudly and proudly blocking them.
- ponector 2y agoIs it the House who refused to send 20+ years old heavy weapons to Ukraine since 2022?
- llamaimperative 2y agoWe did send huge amounts of aid in 2022, including 38 HIMARS, 2,000 Stingers, 100,000 anti-armor systems, 250 artillery guns, 9,000 anti-tank missiles, and 35,000 small arms. Then Republicans put a hard right Christian theocrat, who’s totally captured by the hard-right wing of the party, in charge of the House and everything has stalled.
- ponector 2y agoYes, huge amount of light weapons, short range. I've specifically mentioned heavy weapons. It is hard to fight against heavy weapons with light one, isn't it?
- ethanbond 2y agoNo, what we’re finding is actually quite the opposite. High volumes of light weapons is not only enough, but preferable on the modern battlefield even fighting against heavy weapons. What specific weapon systems would you like to see sent to Ukraine? And what bearing does this have on where blame should land for the US turning its back on Ukraine?
