    I wish Ambassador Taylor didn't frame his problem with trading aid to Ukraine for dirt on Biden largely as a betrayal of our sacred duty to defend Ukraine. You can be against giving lethal aid to Ukraine and against extorting it for campaign help.

        Taylor's claim, spurred by Schiff's questions, that the aid provides Ukraine negotiating leverage and thus advances the odds of a settlement, seems wrong. Aid may well prolongs the war by encouraging Ukraine not to cut a deal they otherwise would.

        I'll point out that the lethal aid provided hasn't been of huge utility.

        True, but George Kent told the Counsel that the extortion for campaign help was not in the American interest in any way.

        You could be but the POV of the heretofore bipartisan consensus was that the Russian aggression on Ukraine could not be addressed without same. There’s also the fact (presented) that Ukrainians are dying right now because of this delay.

        You may be against it, but abandoning an ally as it's soldiers die is a betrayal of the highest order.

        Yes, this was executive overreach against a coequal branch of government.

        This is an example of a reasoned point of view where disagreement btw us is natural. Sadly debating points like this are completely omitted from the narrative
