Thank Republicans — even Donald Trump — for Putin’s very bad week
NY Post
Thanks to the statesmanship of Speaker Mike Johnson, Russian President Vladimir Putin has suffered a very bad week.
The House of Representatives passed Saturday a $60.84 billion aid package for Ukraine.
The Senate passed it Tuesday, and Wednesday the president signed it into law.
Weapons from the package are already arriving in Ukraine.
The Kremlin has closely followed and celebrated the nearly seven-month delay in US aid.
The reason is easy to understand. As Putin himself made clear in Tucker Carlson’s deferential February interview, if the United States stopped sending weapons, the war would be over “in weeks.”

Imagine if Allied intelligence had located Adolf Hitler in late May 1944 and killed him before the Normandy invasion. Imagine that in the same hour, strikes eliminated Hitler’s designated successor, the head of the German Armed Forces High Command, the chief operational planner of the war effort, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, responsible for defending Western Europe, and the rest of Germany’s field marshals and senior commanders.
