Another Russian asset holding aid for country in stress

 Rand Paul stalls quick Senate OK of $40B Ukraine package

Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul defied leaders of both parties Thursday and single-handedly delayed until next week Senate approval of an additional $40 billion to help Ukraine and its allies withstand Russia's three-month old invasion.

FYI Trump surrogates (including Donald Trump Jr.) are online today pushing for Republicans to oppose more defense funding for Ukraine.

Just further confirmation which side Trump is on.

Rand Paul spouts Putin's talking points:

• Sen. Rand Paul says Putin only invades countries that ‘were part of Russia’
• Sen. Rand Paul on Tuesday largely blamed NATO for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
• In a fierce exchange with Blinken, he said Russia attacked because Ukraine was "part of Russia...part of the Soviet Union."

Part of the Soviet Union!! — I bet Rand wishes he could have that one back. A US Senator apologizing for an attempt to reinstate the Soviet Union is a sure tell your bank account is lined in Rubles. Many of us remember the 40-yr Cold War we waged to break up the Soviet Union.

Rand Paul blocks quick passage of $40 billion Ukraine aid package

Rand Paul blocks bipartisan effort to swiftly pass Ukraine aid

In a rare showing of public unity, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Republican Leader Mitch McConnell took to the Senate floor to press for quick passage of a $40 billion aid bill for Ukraine but were blocked by GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky who is demanding changes to the legislation.

Rand Paul would oppose firing the missile that would knock the asteroid off a collision course with Earth because people would benefit from government spending.

The GOP really is the Party of No. They don't fix anything, they do nothing that benefits anyone, they have no plans to repair, modernize, expand, heal or advance, all they do is sit on their mountains of cash and blood, and sabotage anything within their reach.

What a profoundly petty little man. He doesn't like it so he tries to take the ball and go home despite it not being his to take.

Senator Rand Paul single-handedly holds up $40bn US aid for Ukraine 

The top Democrat and Republican in the US Senate joined forces in a rare moment of unity on Thursday in an attempt to pass $40bn in aid for Ukraine, only to be stymied by a single Republican lawmaker: the Kentucky libertarian Rand Paul.

Because he is more loyal to Russia than he ever was to the country he's living in. 

Rand Paul objection delays $40 billion Ukraine aid package

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) hit the brakes Thursday on bipartisan hopes that the Senate could quickly pass nearly $40 billion in Ukraine aid before leaving town for the week. 

He tanked it intentionally. If you want to know why, John McCain explained it years ago. 

John McCain Warning on Rand Paul and Putin Resurfaces After Ukraine Vote

Video of the late Senator John McCain (R-AZ) saying that Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) was working for Russian President Vladimir Putin has garnered renewed attention online after Paul single-handedly blocked a vote on a new aid package to Ukraine on Thursday.

Notice that Rand Paul never defended himself against McCain’s accusation that Rand Paul works for Putin. Instead, he attacked McCain being too old and term limits. Tells you everything.
