Latest drama, seems more plausible this time but still file in “believe it when we see it”:
Speaker Mike Johnson on Monday said he planned this week to advance a long-stalled national security spending package to aid Israel, Ukraine and other American allies, along with a separate bill aimed at mollifying conservatives who have been vehemently opposed to backing Kyiv……came days after Iran launched a large aerial attack on Israel, amplifying calls for Congress to move quickly to approve the pending aid bill.…Mr. Johnson said he would cobble together a legislative package that roughly mirrors the $95 billion aid bill the Senate passed two months ago but is broken down into three pieces. Lawmakers would vote separately on a bill providing money for Israel, one providing funding for Ukraine and a third with aid for Taiwan and other allies. They would cast a fourth vote on a separate measure containing other policies popular among Republicans…

“Why? Because there were zero missiles. We have run out of all the missiles that protected the Trypillia TPP.”
Nothing has changed; there should be no vote on aid to Israel until after aid to Ukraine has been confirmed. But Johnson will want the vote for Israel first and promise to (insert soothing meaningless rhetoric here) for Ukraine after the first vote.Latest drama, seems more plausible this time but still file in “believe it when we see it”:

The security of nearly 1 billion people across Europe and North America is under threat from Russian attempts to target the extensive vulnerabilities of underwater infrastructure including windfarms, pipelines and power cables, a Nato commander has warned
Ukraine war briefing: attacks on nuclear plant are Russian ‘false flag’, Kyiv tells UN security council
Wants to transfer air defenses, perhaps. But can or will they? Russia has been struggling to cover their asse(t)s.
Excellent. Then Israel can join in the fun of taking that crap out.
