be loaded onto MAC aircraft as soon as Pres. Biden signs it into law, hell, they'll probably start loading it before it's even signed and the birds will be in the air before the ink is even dry.

Putin must be fuming, not only did his mouthpieces in the House fail him, but now he faces the fact that his dream of a delay in delivering that aid is shattered also.

And the US doesn't have the capacity to rapidly crank out mass quantities of said ammunition anymore.

For all the money we've invested in the military industrial complex, we don't have the surge capacity like we once did, and it will be problematic in the coming months.

Executives from Lockeed Martin and Rayethon look forward to upgrading their yachts this summer.

Ukraine is fighting for their very existence against a tyrant nation and this is what you come up with.
Shame on you.

Instead of advocating for peace.

interested in unless it's on his terms, something you seem to be cheering for.
So you ascribe to the Chamberlain theory, you know, Peace For Our Time?
Gee, how well did that work out for the world?

So, what's your solution for peace when one side has zero interest in peace?
Ukraine surrender under Putin's terms?
Or should we just stop supporting Ukraine with the necessary aid they need, something you are in favor of, and let Ukraine fall?

BTW, I have never cheered for war in my life time, I have always preferred the peaceful way out, but when there are tyrants in the world, IE, Putin, Xi, Hitler, etc., bent on conquest of other nations, then that is the time to stand up to them. even if it means military action.

Please don't put your words in my mouth, I've no idea where they've been.

I am thankful you weren't in charge during WWII, I hate to think what language I'd be speaking right now.

... can these bills be held up if one senator objects?

I hoped these bills would be passed and then signed by the prez before the Trump trial opened this morning. We need to deliver this ammunition to Russian soldiers asap.

Edit to add: I know, we deliver to Ukranian soldiers, then THEY deliver to Russian soldiers.

But they would all need to go through the usual procedural steps of cloture, debate, etc. They might even try for some kind of expedited Rule for debate that limits debate and fast-tracks these. They could even do them as a "unanimous consent" but that would definitely be blocked, forcing the usual procedure.

What will help is that the bills being sent over are mostly the same, policy/amount-wise, of what the Senate had originally passed, but broken up into 4 separate bills and including some $$$ as loans (probably considered even more "palatable" to some of the GOP Senators who already voted for the original version).
