$40BN Ukraine Aid Package Held Up in Senate

Rand Paul has blocked a rapid senate approval of the massive extra $40 billion Ukraine military aid package by demanding his loyalties lay with the American people, not Ukraine, as he called for closer scrutiny on how the money is spent.

“No matter how sympathetic the cause, my oath of office is to the national security of the USA. We cannot save Ukraine by dooming the US economy,” he explained, highlighting the total spend on Ukraine almost matches Russia’s annual defense budget.

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who insisted Washington has a “moral obligation” to back Kiev, claimed “all he will accomplish is to single handedly delay desperately needed Ukraine aid.”

No moral obligation to protect your own economy?
