How Republicans erupt into open warfare over Ukraine aid
"I really believe the intel and the briefings that we've gotten," Johnson said. "I believe that Xi and Vladimir Putin and Iran really are an axis of evil. I think they are in coordination on this. I think that Vladimir Putin would continue to march through Europe.
"I am going to allow an opportunity for every single member of the House to vote their conscience and their will," he said, adding: "I'm willing to take a personal risk for that, because we have to do the right thing. And history will judge us."

Should Congress Stop Funding the War in Ukraine? (John Donvan; Open to Debate podcast)
Since the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the United States has provided more than $75 billion in aid to Ukraine, which has been directed toward military operations, economic support, and humanitarian assistance. As the war has gone on, members of Congress have questioned whether we have done enough to help the country and if continuing funding is sustainable. Those who want to continue funding Ukraine say the U.S. has a moral obligation to support the country in its time of need, it sustains alliances while serving strategic interests, and it demonstrates the United States’s support of democratic values and sovereignty. Those arguing it’s time to end the funding say that it diverts necessary resources that could go toward domestic and foreign priorities. They also question whether the funds are being used efficiently, whether the war is winnable, and whether providing military aid is genuinely contributing to a path toward peace.
