They didn’t have much time — really no time and no money — to do anything about our border. We’re being invaded, literal invasions coming across our border [...] and all they had time to do in the Senate was get the money, [...] load the planes, get the champagne ready and fly to Kyiv."

•    "I think we all have to understand that Vladimir Putin will not lose this war. I state it that way as opposed to Ukraine can't win, Vladimir Putin will not lose. Losing to Vladimir Putin is existential to Vladimir Putin. Russia is four times the population. They have a much larger industrial base. So again, I said ‘Russia can produce 4.5 million of those shells a year. We're not even up to a million a year.’ The average age of a Ukrainian soldier right now is 43 years old. And David, I heard you quote the TIME magazine article, there are other quotes from some of Zelensky’s top aides that say even if the U.S. and its allies come through with all the weapons they have pledged, quote, ‘we don't have the men to use them,’ unquote. So the fact of the matter is, if you're worried about the people of Ukraine, you have to understand that probably about 100,000 of their soldiers have been killed, as have been about 100,000 Russian conscripts, I take no joy in that, 40,000 civilians, hundreds of billions of dollars of Ukraine has been destroyed. The only way this war ends is in a settlement, and every day that the war goes on, more Ukrainians, more Russian conscripts die, more civilians die, more of Ukraine gets destroyed. Their lives have to be rebuilt. So again, sending $60 billion as added fuel to the flames of a bloody stalemate makes no sense whatsoever. As evil a war criminal as Putin is, he's not going to lose this war. And our colleagues here just aren't willing to accept that reality. And they're living in a fantasy world, thinking that Ukraine can win this thing. They can't." Source: Sen. Ron Johnson (Republican, Wisconsin)

•      "As I have said many times, Israel has the right to defend itself against Hamas’s terrorism, but it does not have the right to obliterate an entire people… 1.7 million people have been driven from their homes and, unbelievably, some 70 percent of the housing units in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed. This is an unheard-of level of destruction. Nearly 80 percent of the population has been displaced, and they have no idea of where to go, or whether or not they will ever return to their homes. Many of these men, women, and children have been displaced multiple times…Unbelievably, unbelievably, despite all of this, the US Congress is preparing to send another $14 billion to Netanyahu’s right-wing government—$14 billion more. And ten billion of this money is totally unrestricted and will allow Netanyahu to buy more of the bombs he has literally used to flatten Gaza and kill tens of thousands and thousands of children…Does the United States Congress really want to provide more military aid to Netanyahu so that he can annihilate thousands and thousands more men, women, and children?"
