"I don't think Ukraine aid is going to pass without a discharge petition that allows a simple vote.

I do think what Johnson is doing now is specifically designed to prevent the discharge petition from getting enough votes.

By bringing up Ukraine, he is giving members of Congress an excuse not to sign the discharge petition

For the last six months, all of Johnson's ploys have had the same logic.

Make a promise, create some hope, generate excuses for European and executive branch inaction, weaken Ukraine, advance Russian genocide.

Press coverage dwells now on hope rather than recalling that Johnson's entire record thus far as Speaker involves dishonest gambits to prevent Ukraine funding.
