I'm almost certain MAGA republicans are in on it too, but they have to posture to their base for votes
I would have believed this if the Republicans hadn’t spent months trying to block the $60 bil Ukraine bill.
Like, I would need a very good explanation of why the Republicans would block such a spending bill if this was a bipartisan issue.
It literally took an Iranian strike on Israel (which was 100% provoked by the US) to force the bill on the floor and they finally got it passed together with another $26 bil to Israel.
The Republicans weren’t worried about their voter base (come on, the Republican voters would believe anything their masters say), they were afraid of the Democrats poaching their donors away because the Democrats have now set up a special money laundering shop in Ukraine that as long as the war keeps going, they can blatantly pass 100s of billions of spending there with little oversight. Everyone who has been missing out now wants a slice of that big pie. How do you get into the club? By getting behind the Democrats and Joe Biden.
This actually also explains why the Republicans had been so intent on crucifying Hunter Biden, because he is a prominent link that exposes the Biden family and their proxies to the Ukraine laundering operation.
I am not saying that this is the truth, but it all makes sense when you see it this way and piecing together all the events that happened over the past 2 years. Also, this is literally how AIPAC works, a money laundering front for Israeli money (funded by the US federal government) to flow back to both Republicans and Democrats in Washington.
I wonder if there was an increase in MIC flavored campaign donations before the vote that the Repubs decided to stop fighting the bill on?
