US House Member Initiates Discharge Petition for Ukraine Aid Bill
Amidst growing support for Ukraine in the US House of Representatives, Representative Brian Fitzpatrick, a Republican, is taking steps to circumvent House Speaker Mike Johnson regarding the approval of a bill to aid Ukraine. Employing a legislative tactic known as a discharge petition, Fitzpatrick seeks to bring the bill directly to a vote on the House floor, thereby circumventing the standard committee process and the speaker’s authority. To succeed, the discharge petition needs at least 218 signatures, which is a simple majority of the House. Fitzpatrick intends to have the petition ready by early March and has suggested that a number of his Republican colleagues are ready to support the maneuver. The requirement is that the House must be in session for at least 30 days prior to the vote on the petition. While signaling the need for urgency, Fitzpatrick has not yet decided on the exact form of the Ukraine aid bill he wishes to present.

Back in 1983, Ronald Reagan labeled the Soviet Union an "evil empire" during remarks before evangelical Christians in Florida. The president was warning about a buildup of Soviet strength and global menace, and the need to confront it.
History is now repeating itself. Today's Russia is a pale version of the communist regime that finally dissolved in 1991. But Russian President Vladimir Putin, famously embittered by that collapse, is bent on reacquiring some of that former glory.
Putin's Make Russia Great Again strategy is a font of international mayhem.
Russia invaded neighboring Georgia in 2008 and Ukraine in 2014, where fighting rages on and 10,000 have died. Its illegal annexation of Crimea was the first effort to alter European borders by force since World War II. The Russian military, dispatched to Syria, shored up the regime of Bashar Assad and committed atrocities, bombing a United Nations aid convoy and targeting hospitals.
High-confidence findings by the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency concluded that Putin ordered a cyber and propaganda attack to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election and undermine public faith in the American democratic process. Russian "trolls" posted false stories on Facebook that reached 140 million Americans, and Russian hackers stole thousands of emails from Democratic leaders and leaked them. Similar attacks have since occurred in Germany, France and the Netherlands.
Other Russian aggression includes selling weapons to the Taliban in Afghanistan and oil to North Korea. The Kremlin also provides sanctuary to a rogue's gallery of cyber criminals,dispatches fighter aircraft that harass U.S. military jets in Syria and NATO aircraft over the Baltic, and sends submarines to prowl suspiciously close to crucial Atlantic undersea cables carrying 97% of global communications. All the while, Putin works to rig upcoming Russian elections in his favor.
The Trump administration's response to this mounting threat has been schizophrenic. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson writes in The New York Times that the Trump administration has "no illusions" about a resurgent Russia. And a suddenly tougher line emerged last month with the welcome announcement that anti-tank weapons would be sold to the Ukrainian government for defense against Russian-backed rebels.
Even so, these steps run contrary to President Trump's tendency toward appeasing Putin. The administration has slow-walked implementation of tough, new sanctions against Russia passed overwhelmingly by Congress last summer. The sanctions are to finally go into effect this month.
And Trump has not convened a Cabinet-level meeting on Russian interference in the presidential campaign. "When will all the haters and fools out there realize that having a good relationship with Russia is a good thing," Trump tweeted in November.
Reagan famously urged listeners in 1983 "to beware the temptation ... to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire." Thirty-five years later, those words are again worth heeding.

I guess you don't even respect the content of you own threads!
In any case, this is just a slow withdrawal. Iraq will eventually demand that our troops leave their country, so we will probably shift them over to Saudi Arabia.
It's a mess for Putin because when Trump is gone payback is coming. That said, Putin doesn't have the budget to fill Americas shoes. His entire budget comes from oil and it's the size of Italy's. Not enough to do more than bluff.
What will come out of this is a renewed effort to straighten NATO. All Trump succeeded in doing was to point out weakness that exposed it attack. They will cut the fat and excommunicate the bad actors. This will happen as we fix the holes in the rule of law in this country that let Trump be Trump.
tick tock comrade troll. And I'll post what I want where I want.
T
I sure called that. We're getting big time payback on Russia.

But you obsessively track everything to do with Russia because ...
Because it pisses you off comrade. For years now you and sig have defended Putin and Russia against every, and I mean every negative thing said about them, while bashing America. You are fooling no one comrade...
We here don't have to see you visually to see the Putin dog collar you wear around your neck.

Poor signym, she posts a propaganda video to make her point. That Putins' russia is able to bully not just the US but Britain as well. Good luck with that comrade. And comrade kiki cannot think of anything to say to defend Putin against what's posted in this thread so she can only nonsensically repeat herself. Too funny; time for her to ask her handler for assistance.

Well, we all know that you post lies, THUGR. So, is what I posted TRUE? Did Britain decide to deploy its destroyer in the Black Sea, or did it reverse itself?
I'll bet you're too afraid to find out for sure because you're NOT all about "facts", you're all about telling yourself stories that you like, because they soothe your excited fears.

ODESA, Ukraine—In his office overlooking Odesa’s Pivdennyi Port on the Black Sea, Viktor Berestenko smiled contentedly at the half-dozen large international cargo ships just beyond the harbor. “It’s as beautiful as your first kiss,” said the grinning president of the Association of International Freight Forwarders of Ukraine. Speaking to Foreign Policy in late March Berestenko was only too happy to inform me that Ukraine’s three free ports—all in and around Odesa—are operating 24/7, and that the country’s grain exports are back to prewar levels.
On the floor laughing here comrade. Ukraine owns the Black Sea. Russia's fleet is being destroyed and won't go near the Black Sea anymore. Putins' navy has lost to a country that doesn't have any ships. Again, way to funny comrade.
