The Senate passed a $95 billion foreign aid bill early Tuesday morning that allocates money for Ukraine‚ Israel‚ and Taiwan. The bill passed on a 70-29 vote‚ with over half of Senate Republicans voting against the measure.  The aid package allocates $61 billion for Ukraine‚ $14 billion for Israel‚ $4.83 billion to U.S. allies in the Indo-Pacific‚ and over $9 billion in global humanitarian aid. The bill passed with support from nearly all Democrats and 22 Republicans. “It’s certainly been years‚ perhaps decades‚ since the Senate has passed a bill that so greatly impacts not just our national security‚ not just the security of our allies‚ but the security of western democracy‚” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said‚ according to Reuters.  Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnel (R-KY) also pushed the bill forward.  “The Senate understands the responsibilities of America’s national security and will not neglect them‚” McConnell said after the vote. “History settles every account. And today‚ on the value of American leadership and strength‚ history will record that the Senate did not blink.” Sens. John Boozman (R-AR)‚ Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV)‚ Bill Cassidy (R-LA)‚ Susan Collins (R-ME)‚ John Cornyn (R-TX)‚ Kevin Cramer (R-ND)‚ Mike Crapo (R-ID)‚ Joni Ernst (R-IA)‚ Chuck Grassley (R-IA)‚ John Hoeven (R-ND)‚ John Kennedy (R-LA)‚ McConnell (R-KY)‚ Jerry Moran (R-KS)‚ Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)‚ James Risch (R-ID)‚ Mitt Romney (R-UT)‚ Mike Rounds (R-SD)‚ Dan Sullivan (R-AK)‚ John Thune (R-SD)‚ Thom Tillis (R-NC)‚ Roger Wicker (R-MS)‚ and Todd Young (R-IN) joined Democrats in passing the measure.  The bill was opposed by conservative senators who have pushed for funding to prioritize the border crisis and the influx of illegal immigrants into the United States.  “Americans are going to hold people accountable that chose to move on from border security and fund foreign nations before we took care of our own homes‚” Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) said during debate on the bill. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “This morning the America last caucus got a $61 billion aid package out of the Senate. But they paid dearly for this small win. The House won’t pass the current bill. We must fix our country before devoting more resources to Ukraine. That’s our message‚ and the fight goes on‚” Sen. J.D. Vance said.  Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) criticized McConnell for backing the aid package.  “Most Senate Republicans vote no. McConnell of course votes with the Democrats. He is Biden’s chief foreign policy supporter these days. That position is an island — and the gulf between it &; the rest of America is only getting wider‚” he said.  “Nearly every Republican senator under the age of 55 voted NO on this America Last bill. 15 out of 17 elected since 2018 voted NO. Things are changing just  not fast enough‚” Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) said.  The foreign aid package followed up an attempt to pair it with some border security measures earlier this month in a proposal negotiated between Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) and top Democrats. That measure failed after conservative senators said that the bill would do nothing to stop the flood of people illegally crossing the border. House Speaker Mike Johnson has been critical of the Senate’s foreign aid bill‚ saying on Monday that it was “silent on the most pressing issues facing our country.” “The mandate of national security supplemental legislation was to secure America’s own border before sending sending additional foreign aid around the world‚” Johnson said.

  In a recent groundbreaking interview‚ American talk show host Tucker Carlson sat down with Russian President Vladimir Putin‚ leading to significant revelations about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. According to Carlson‚ who spoke at the World Government Summit in Dubai‚ his conversation with Putin suggests that the Russian leader is now prepared to negotiate a compromise over Ukraine‚ signaling a potential shift in the prolonged crisis. Carlson’s engagement with Putin was the first of its kind since the February 2022 invasion‚ providing a rare glimpse into the mindset of the Kremlin amidst international tensions. During their discussion‚ Putin took the opportunity to articulate his narrative on the war‚ emphasizing Russia’s interests and calling for Washington to recognize them. He urged Kyiv to engage in talks‚ asserting that negotiations are the path to peace. Tucker Carlson on Ukraine “Ukraine cannot win this war” This was obvious to anyone paying attention from Day 1. Any Politician or MSM outlet that State we must keep funding Ukraine with weaponry &; or Russia must be defeated is simply LYING to you. They are aiding &;… pic.twitter.com/vxBZf4knwi — Concerned Citizen (@BGatesIsaPyscho) February 13‚ 2024 The interview‚ which received extensive coverage in Russian media‚ allowed Putin to reject claims that Moscow plans to attack Poland or other NATO countries. He also addressed the West’s inability to inflict a ‘strategic defeat’ on Russia‚ underscoring the resilience and industrial capabilities of his nation. Carlson noted that contrary to Western belief‚ Russia’s production of military equipment like missiles and artillery shells has proven robust. Despite the gravity of the situation‚ Putin appeared confident and composed throughout the interview‚ even making occasional friendly remarks towards Carlson. The Russian president stayed focused‚ delving into over 800 years of Russian history to provide context for his country’s actions. Notably‚ Carlson refrained from questioning Putin about allegations of war crimes by Russian troops in Ukraine or the domestic crackdown on dissent. Subway in Moscow that Tucker Carlson was talking about pic.twitter.com/99DnxdesTP — Jack Poso (@JackPosobiec) February 13‚ 2024 Carlson’s commentary on the interview and subsequent ‘off the record’ conversation with Putin has stirred interest and speculation. He suggested that as the conflict drags on‚ Putin would not become more open to negotiations‚ but rather‚ Russia will only grow stronger. This perspective challenges the prevailing narrative in the West and calls for a reconsideration of the approach towards Russia. The talk show host’s insights come after his own critical stance on U.S. support for Ukraine following the invasion. His commentaries‚ which have been circulated on Russian state-run media‚ question why Americans are encouraged to harbor animosity towards Putin. The Kremlin’s decision to grant Carlson an interview‚ according to Putin’s spokesman‚ was due to his differing viewpoint from the ‘one-sided’ stance of other Western media outlets. Ukraine remains steadfast in its position‚ repeatedly stating it will not compromise with Russia involving any cession of its territory. The country is determined to reclaim all land occupied by Moscow’s forces‚ including the Donbas region and Crimea‚ which‚ despite annexation by Russia‚ are still widely recognized as Ukrainian territory. As the world watches the unfolding events in Eastern Europe‚ Carlson’s revelations offer a new dimension to the discourse on the Ukraine conflict. His assertion that Putin is willing to compromise could be a pivotal moment in the search for a resolution. However‚ with both sides holding firm to their stances‚ the path to peace remains complex and uncertain.   The post Tucker Carlson’s Insightful Moscow Interview Hints at Putin’s Readiness for Compromise appeared first on The Conservative Brief.
