In the USA they want to vote for money for Israel without Ukraine: a political scientist assessed the risks

Will there be military assistance from the US

< p>For now we can hope for a package vote on the agreement, which includes assistance for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and the like.

If the agreement is brought to the Senate and voted positively, then there will be chances. If it fails at the Senate level, then the White House needs a “Plan B.” Perhaps this will be a division of packages, as Republicans previously insisted on. Then the vote for aid for Ukraine will be separate,” said Reiterovich.

In this case, the White House may have a free hand. There they will be able to put pressure on the Republicans that they are playing along with Putin by delaying the vote for military aid for Ukraine.

To put it simply, then, conditionally, White House representatives can go to the media and accuse the Republicans of playing along with Putin. The president of a country that is the main strategic rival of the United States today. Then the process can go faster,” noted Reiterovich.

It is interesting that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will arrive in the United States on February 9. It was his state that was at one time actively criticized for insufficient assistance for Ukraine. Now the situation has changed – and Scholz can “teach” Americans about democracy.

Military assistance for Ukraine from the United States: briefly

• US House Speaker Mike Johnson is going to put $17 billion in aid to Israel to the vote. It does not include money for Ukraine.
• In parallel, the US Senate published the text of the agreement, which provides for agreements on national security and assistance for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. Biden called on Congress to quickly pass this bipartisan agreement.
• A Senate vote could take place as soon as February 7. However, we can expect further complex debate on the part of the agreement that deals with US immigration policy.
