• The House passed a more than $60 billion bill that provides more military aid to Ukraine.
  • It's part of a larger foreign aid package that's likely to pass the Senate and be signed into law.
  • 112 Republicans voted it against — the most ever, and a majority of the GOP conference.

Saturday's vote marked the first time the House had approved billions of dollars in Ukraine aid since December 2022, when Democrats still controlled the chamber.

In the two years since Russia's invasion, opposition to aiding Ukraine has grown from a fringe position to a majority view among House GOP lawmakers. Many argue the money should be spent domestically or that policy changes at the US-Mexico border should take precedence.

Here are the 112 House Republicans who voted against the bill.

Send them to the front line to fight for their motherland.

    If you care as much about Ukraine as you claim to why don't you go to the front lines and fight for them... Better yet, why aren't you advocating the United States to go directly to war with Russia? Wouldn't it be cheaper to get rid of Putin once and for all and to make Russia pay for the war?

    Ukraine isn't asking anyone to go to the front and fight for them. They're asking for this aid. Anyone who cares about Ukraine as much as they claim will listen to what Ukraine asks for.

    Halp me. They are attacking me send money, not reinforcements.

    Geez, you have to be either blind or dumb to not see what this is. Proxy war is war. This is about money at this point, and what better way to funnel money than through aid packages.

    You think they are going to send a bag of money to Ukraine? Are you really that dumb? The approved amount is for weapons and ammo.

    Idiotic.

    • why don’t I go fight? Because I’m not a fucking soldier. It would be a net negative for me to go fight. I have no military experience whatsoever. Ignoring the myriad other reasons.
    • No, it’s far less expensive to send equipment and give intel to Ukraine. Why the fuck do you think proxy war is a thing?

    Of course, you’re just shit-talking.

    Getting rid of Putin, and for that matter Xi, will likely not do a thing to stop the war on the Russian side, and the clear plans for invasion in the Chinese side.

    Hard evidence that neither country has functioning nukes would, but getting rid of either one just creates a power vaccume that will quickly be filled by someone that is likely to look much like their predecessor.

    So what you're saying is that there is no winning the war against Russia... Just sending more money to Ukraine indefinitely?

    No, I'm saying we have entered a new Cold War against both China and Russia that is likely to last for the next several decades. We can't win a war. There are no winners in war. All we can do is provide enough resistance now to prevent the cold war we are in from boiling into active shooting in other theaters.
