Make no mistake about it – this week’s ejection of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has already cast a dark cloud over the future of Washington’s free-flowing financial and military aid for Ukraine.
It’s now been over 18 months since Russia launched its Special Military Operation (SMO) against NATO’s proxy Ukraine, and initially there was bipartisan support for quarterly multibillion dollar aid packages. But that support is now breaking up along partisan lines – with the Democratic Party now being the new party of war, and with many Republicans taking a differing view of ‘war effort’. According to a survey released this week by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, showing that most Americans still support sending cash and arms to Ukraine, but there are now stark divisions over whether this investment is worthwhile for America.
