Scott Fitzgerald (GOPe-WI) planted a big kiss on "lend-lease" legislation for Ukraine. We are now formally supplying weapons and equipment to Ukraine; under some interpretations of international law (not Globaloney "rules-based" bullshit), Russia can look at us as a formal enemy.
...The bill, which revamps FDR’s lend-lease program, passed 417-10 in the House and now proceeds to President Biden’s desk for signature.
“It is vital that the U.S. does everything possible to get the necessary weapons to Ukraine and our eastern European partners to defend against Russia’s unprovoked war of aggression,” said Texas Rep. Michael T. McCaul...
...The updated bill for Ukraine lifts some reimbursement requirements and allows military equipment to be leant or leased for more than five years....
(The Lusitania was a casualty of FDR's "lend-lease" program. Apparently history is irrelevant to Fitzgerald.)
There's a larger point here. Fitzgerald was a member of the Reserves. He knows that the chain of command ends at the President's desk. He also knows--or SHOULD know--that Biden is non compos mentis.
Why does Fitzgerald--an ex-officer--place the Armed Forces at grave risk of combat with a C-in-C who cannot think?
