Three justifications for House GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy's Ukraine aid stance Analysis by TomRTweets:
If the midterm election polls hold true, House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy will become speaker of the House in January. But McCarthy attracted media criticism this week after he told Punchbowl News that a GOP majority would adopt a more cautious stance toward financial aid for Ukraine. As McCarthy put it,"I think people are gonna be sitting in a recession, and they’re not going to write a blank check to Ukraine. They just won’t do it.
Well, just look at the Kiel Institute's graph below. The graph shows respective national/European Union commitments to Ukraine as of Oct. 3. Of relevance: The EU's total GDP is approximately 90% of that of the U.S. But just look at how much more the U.S. has committed to Ukraine versus the EU and its top economic powerhouses — France, Germany, and Italy.
Contrary to the commentariat consensus, the populist anger former President Donald Trump cultivated when he railed against European"freeloading," etc., was rooted not in arrogant delusion but rather in truths born out of math. Namely, the math that proved Europe's enduring choice to divert money to social welfare programs at the expense of its security needs. And the associated, enduring burden on American taxpayers and service personnel to fill the gap.
