In a tense game of chicken, remarkable for its mix of petulance and audacity, congressional Republicans are threatening to halt U.S. aid to Ukraineāguaranteeing a Russian breakthrough and possible victory in that warāunless Democrats help pass a bill that all but locks down Americaās Southern border.
If the impasse isnāt resolved by the end of next week, when Congress goes on recess until the new year, the Ukrainian army could run out of ammunition. President Joe Biden could resupply the arsenal from U.S. stockpiles without legislative approval, but the move would be temporary, and the signal sentāthat Ukraine, and by implication other allies, can no longer count on U.S. support in a pinchācould be a holiday cork-popper for Russian President Vladimir Putin and all of our other adversaries.
It is a non sequitur. I just found it odd to scorn conservatives for genocide while not mentioning that Democrats are actively abetting a current one.
I think itās a non sequitur because American Democrats ARE conservatives, as is noted later. With that in mind, the comment chain reads as:
Them: Conservatives have always supported genocide.
You: Then why is the other conservative group supporting genocide?
I believe a significant chunk of the site agrees with you regarding the subject matter, Iām just pointing out why I believe itās not going over well. Take it or leave it, Iām just trying to provide constructive criticism.
Edit: shit, i read your comment as āit is not a non sequiturā. Iām too tired, words hard, leaving original comment for posterity.
Donāt apologize for being secure enough to apologize. There is so much negativity on here, that you absorb it without realizing. Much love š
