War Whores in Congress Advance $95 Billion Funding Bill for Ukraine, Israel
$45 billion will go to the U.S. military-industrial complex and bill includes language that could ban TikTok after disapproval from Israel lobby.
Our “wartime speaker” Mike Johnson has lived up to his Israel-first reputation and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s favorite Evangelical in Congress.
Johnson’s bill allows nearly $61 billion for Ukraine, about $48 billion going directly into the U.S. military-industrial complex, and $26 billion for Israel — $12 billion higher than the initial $14.1 billion ask.
Johnson, who is one of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Evangelicals in the House, also did the Israeli Lobby’s bidding and put in language that could result in TikTok being banned in the U.S.
Johnson called himself a “wartime speaker,” and said, “We cannot allow Vladimir Putin to roll through another country and take it. These are very serious matters with global implications,” according to the Associated Press.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky did his best last week to try and capitalize on Iran’s attack on Israel and tie Ukraine security to Israel's.
“I want to ask you a question: Is Israel part of NATO?” Israel is not a NATO country. The NATO allies have been defending Israel. They showed the Iranian forces that Israel was not alone,” Zelensky said in an interview. “When Ukraine says that its allies should not turn a blind eye to Russian missiles and drones, we mean action is needed. A bold one.”
Dmitro Kuleba, Ukraine’s warmongering foreign minister, also said, “Everything we are asking from partners, even if you cannot act the way you act in Israel, give us what we need and we will do the rest of the job,” according to The Asia Times.
TRENDPOST: Professor John Mearsheimer, the professor and co-author of “The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, said in an interview published Wednesday that the Israeli lobby in the U.S. has nearly complete influence over main news outlets like The Wall Street Journal and New York Times, so it will likely turn its attention to TikTok, which is more influential to young Americans than either of these outlets.
