Puppet Master for Speaker Johnson: It's Trump Also Over the Entire GOP

Trump's Control Over Speaker Johnson

(His lapdog without any doubt)

GOP Speaker “MAGA Moses Trump Lapdog” Mike Johnson (R-LA) gets a message from NATO ally about his resistance for more aid to Ukraine in their war against Russia in an article from NEWSWEEK with this their headline story:

“NATO Ally Has Strong Warning for Mike Johnson”

Radoslaw Sikorski, the NATO foreign minister for Poland, issued a strong warning against Speaker of the House Mike Johnson regarding the state of aid to Ukraine.

Military forces in Ukraine are struggling with shortages of ammunition and other resources as they continue to contend with Russian invaders after over two years. In light of these struggles, considerable attention has fallen on the U.S. and the state of its continued military aid for Ukraine, which the nation's leaders and

Johnson recently came under fire after sending the House of Representatives on a two-week recess without voting on a measure to provide aid to Ukraine. A $95 billion international aid package previously passed in the Senate by a strong 70-30, but was not brought to the House floor for a vote before the recess. 

That package included $61 billion for Ukraine, $14 billion for Israel, and $4.83 billion for U.S. allies in the Indo-Pacific region, including Taiwan. 

It would also provide $9.15 billion in humanitarian aid to conflict zones, like Gaza, Israel, and Ukraine; (plus I note it had a strong bi-partisan border package that Republicans have been demanding, too).

Speaking before the Atlantic Council think tank Reuters reported that Sikorski noted how Johnson “…has in the past spoken warmly about Ukraine and urged him to get the aid for Ukraine passed.” He then warned that should the aid not be passed, any Russian successes on the battlefield would be his responsibility, adding: “Therefore I'd like him to know that the whole world is watching what he would do and if the supplemental [aid package] were not to pass and Ukraine was to suffer reversals on the battlefield it will be his responsibility.”

NOTE: Newsweek reached out to Johnson's office via email for comment. Any responses received will be added to this story in a later update.

MAGA Moses Mike Johnson's response 

(Updated: My hunch - nice fit)

Following an Oval Office meeting it was reported that Senate Majority Leader Schumer, Minority Leader McConnell, House Democratic Leader Jeffries, President Biden, and Vice President Harris all leaned on Johnson to get aid for Ukraine passed, and according to a post on X from CBS reporter Scott McFarlane, “Democratic leaders called the meeting intense.”

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Johnson only said: “We'll get the government funded and that the GOP's top priority is still border security.” 

He then departed without taking questions.

Many others on X were quick to point out after the comments that Johnson recently opposed a bipartisan Senate bill with major border reforms, after pressure from Trump, saying: “It is dead on arrival.”

Added: From Putin’s recent “State of the State” speech – key parts from Business Insider with this headline: “Putin may be speaking directly to Americans:”

Hey Vlad that's the wrong finger 

(During his Feb 6 Tucker Carlson interview)

Remarks from Matthew Schmidt, an associate professor of national security and political science at the University of New Haven who previously taught planning at the US Army's School of Advanced Military Studies: “Putin is aiming these remarks at Western publics and Western civilian political leadership. He's trying to make sure that Ukraine does not get significant aid from the US. Chalking Putin's most recent nuclear threats up to an attempt to sway American voters against supporting politicians and policies that would result in further US funding for Ukraine. American politicians are already responding to this war in a way that helps Russia. Putin is trying to create the conditions for that to continue happening.”

Since the war began, the Biden administration has directed nearly $75 billion in assistance to Ukraine.

That included military and financial support, according to The Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a German research institute. But further funding for Ukraine has been stalled in Congress as House GOP support for U.S. aid wanes. 

Plus, Congress narrowly averted a government shutdown but still made no progress on passing the $95 billion package with emergency funds for Ukraine, Israel, and other foreign allies – all thanks to Speaker Johnson.

My 2 Cents: Boy, do I have a lot to say about Speaker Johnson in his poor performance as Speaker of the house.

Whatever his personal, religious, marriage, sexual, or other views are, I don’t care – they are irrelevant to me, but his policy views that impact the country are very much a serious concern for me.

First, I’m not sure how, but maybe like Kevin McCarthy was booted out, but Johnson needs to go, too, and ASAP.

Second, not giving aid to Ukraine now after two years of resisting Putin and Russia is the same as supporting Putin while abandoning Ukraine.

Third, Johnson then tells the House “take off two weeks and enjoy the break” while dismissing serious problems here at home and abroad.

Finally, just imagine if our allies after Pearl Harbor had abandoned us, or we didn’t help our allies in Europe against Nazi invasions – where would the world be today, um, Mr. Johnson – Seig Heil?

Johnson has zero leadership skills about war and aid for our friends and allies and public policy in general for the country as a whole.

In a word he is pathetic and perhaps the worse Speaker ever in my view.

Thanks for stopping by.
