Playbook: McCarthy\u2019s latest gambit falls flat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

IS UKRAINE AID DEAD? \u2014<\/strong> Which brings us to the bigger picture: Ukrainian President VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY<\/strong> heads to Washington later this week in a last-ditch effort to shore up American support for his war-torn nation. But while there\u2019s a broad bipartisan coalition keen on continuing aid to Kyiv, it increasingly looks like that assistance could become the latest casualty of the battle inside the GOP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To recap:<\/strong> The White House and Ukraine\u2019s bipartisan allies in the Senate have plotted for weeks to advance $24 billion in supplemental Ukraine aid alongside whatever temporary funding patch moves around the Oct. 1 shutdown deadline. House conservatives have erupted at the notion of attaching Ukraine aid to a CR<\/strong>, and even McCarthy\u2019s gambit of moving it separately with border security legislation has gotten a chilly reception<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the notion of moving any<\/em> Ukraine aid<\/strong> has appeared on the litany of grievances the hard right is using to threaten McCarthy\u2019s speakership. And even Greene, one of McCarthy\u2019s top allies on the right, told Playbook recently that no amount of border funding could compensate for another injection of U.S. taxpayer money overseas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s getting to be a very taboo issue<\/strong> in our conference, and the American people don\u2019t support it,\u201d Greene said, calling the battle against Russia\u2019s invasion \u201ca war that should be over.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soros\u2019s article from March;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russian defeat is inevitable, and will allow world to focus on our real problem \u2014 Climate change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The countries of the former Soviet empire eagerly await defeat of the Russian army in Ukraine, and the world will be able to focus on climate change, writes George Soros<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THU, 23 MAR, 2023 \u2013 01:28
GEORGE SOROS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is just over one month ago that I gave a speech on the eve of the Munich Security Conference. Since then, so many remarkable things have happened \u2014 and have happened so fast \u2014 that it is worth comparing my predictions of a month ago with actual developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The countries of the former Soviet empire, eager to assert their independence, can hardly wait for the Russian army to be crushed in Ukraine. At that point, Putin\u2019s dream of a renewed Russian empire will disintegrate and cease to pose a threat to Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The defeat of Russian imperialism will<\/strong> have far-reaching consequences for the rest of the world. It will bring huge relief to open societies and create tremendous problems for closed ones. Most importantly, it will allow the world to concentrate on its biggest problem, climate change.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the opportunity to do the opposite of what Soros wants isn\u2019t convincing enough, there is an additional problem which must be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is evidence Europe is spending a lot of cash on interfering with US domestic politics<\/strong>, by attempting to bypass US politicians who oppose the extreme European green agenda, and by providing substantial support to US politicians who share Europe\u2019s green ideals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t often get to glimpse behind the curtain with European politics. Quite apart from the language barrier, European politics is generally a lot less open than US politics. But European politicians occasionally let important information slip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One such slip was a public boast by then British Climate Change Minister Claire Perry<\/a>, about all the good they were doing, reaching out to elected US politicians, and helping them to coordinate and sabotage President Trump\u2019s America First agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UK bypasses Donald Trump to discuss climate change with US city mayors directly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Claire Perry, the Climate Change Minister, says British Government is now speaking to \u2018other players\u2019 in US about how to fight global warming<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UK has started bypassing Donald Trump over climate change, talking directly to city mayors and other officials<\/strong> committed to trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the new Climate Change Minister has revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Claire Perry, who was appointed to the post after the general election last month, said that British ministers had not \u201cmissed an opportunity\u201d to tell the US President that they were disappointed he had decided to withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change, the news service Bloomberg reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said she had been speaking to \u201cother players\u201d in the US, including the mayor of Houston, Sylvester Turner, who visited the UK last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to know why US politics today is so messed up, I suggest a potential explanation for what went wrong is good people in the USA are experiencing collateral damage from an ongoing and well funded European effort to destabilise and reshape the political landscape of the United States. These are the people Biden wants US taxpayers to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stopping US financial aid to Ukraine, forcing Europe to step up and commit their own resources to stopping Russia, instead of treating the people of the USA with contempt, yet still expecting the USA to pay all their bills, would not only impede George Soros\u2019 global green revolution, and potentially save the people of Russia from a completely unnecessary replay of the 1990s post Soviet social chaos and economic and political collapse, it would hopefully also draw resources away from whatever nasty games state sponsored European influencers are playing on the ground inside the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update (EW): Just published, UN Zelensky speech confirming climate action is a key reason for supporting Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 We know the possible effects of spreading the war into the cyberspace. The artificial intelligence could be trained to combat well \u2013 before it would learn to help the humanity. Thank God, people have not yet learned to use climate as a weapon. Even though humanity is failing on its climate policy objectives \u2013 this means that extreme weather will still impact the normal global life and some evil state will also weaponise its outcomes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when people in the streets of New York and other cities of the world went out on climate protest \u2013 we all have seen them\u2026 And when people in Morocco and Libya<\/a> and other countries die as a result of natural disasters\u2026 And when islands and countries disappear under water\u2026 And when tornados and deserts are spreading into new territories\u2026 And when all of this is happening, one unnatural disaster in Moscow decided to launch a big war and kill tens of thousands of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must act united \u2013 to defeat the aggressor and focus all our capabilities and energy on addressing these challenges.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My opinion, European climate activists are desperate for Russia to be utterly crushed, and soon, so they can turn the billions of dollars of resources they are currently spending on Ukraine against the political opponents of their extreme green agenda. Every dollar the USA sends to Ukraine brings that opportunity closer to their grasp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update (EW): Like I said, glimpses behind the curtain.\u00a0US citizen in jail in Ukraine<\/a>, facing 5-8 years for the crime of journalism.<\/strong>\u00a0Claims he has been beaten and extorted in prison. No contact since July. I wonder how long any of us who have ever criticised Zelensky would last, were we to ever set foot on Ukrainian soil?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
