It's insane that a bill with such a majority can be delayed 8 months, when it's desperately needed to pass.
Hopefully the fact that other countries have attempted to increase help to somewhat fill the void, will help Ukraine more in the long run.
The period without American aid has been a clear demonstration that although Europe mostly agreed we needed more military independence from USA already 5 years ago, we are far away from achieving that. Hopefully the result will be a stronger NATO, and hopefully Ukraine can join NATO soon.

Truly disastrous. And hopefully a serious wake up call for Europe. Inconceivably sad that many Ukranians died and will die as a result of this stupid political game that delayed funding for the most critical conflict of the 21st century.

Seemingly anything is leverage for US politicians to discuss MeXiCo and GuNs!

Not even a potential conflict with their arch enemy "the commies" can focus them away from fearmongering internal affairs

Yes, especially since we (Europe) realized with the election of Trump, that USA clearly couldn't be trusted anymore. But I guess most people thought we'd have more time? Or maybe even that USA would become trustworthy again? No doubt we'd prefer that.
