This is a small stop gap, and we already know the Mega GOP are against supporting Ukraine. The US has a lot of support going to Ukraine, so this little gap isn't going to hurt them. The training for F-16 is already paid for so they is no stopping that, same with tanks. The good thing is the non-Mega GOPs are starting to distance themselves so hopefully that makes them more willing to compromise with the Democrats so things can get done. You know how the government was set up to work.

A little gap or any delay at all probably will hurt them, at the cost of lives. It might not be statistically significant to the outside observer though.

Yeah, I'm kind of shocked how dissociated the comments this thread are from what they're talking about. People are dying, right now - people will die as a result of this, too.

We're talking about death, here. Needless, wasteful death. War is hell - not an economic stimulus package.
