Division, win-at-all-costs negotiations, and partisanship are serious threats to our standing in the world. Other countries have taken notice with deep concerns.

The U.S. is a “fat buffalo trying to take a nap” as hungry wolves approach, the envoy mused. “I can hear those Champagne bottle corks popping in Moscow — like it’s Christmas every fucking day.”

In particular, they criticized the decision to connect the issue of Ukrainian aid and Israeli aid to U.S. border security. Not only did the move tangle a foreign policy issue with a largely domestic one, but border security and immigration also are topics about which the partisan fever runs unusually high, making it harder to get a deal. Immigration issues in particular are a problem many U.S. lawmakers have little incentive to actually solve because it robs them of a rallying cry on the campaign trail.

They remember how, when Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, many Republicans downplayed concerns about the far-right fringe in their party that questioned what was then solid, bipartisan support. Now, as the debate over the aid unfolds, it seems the far-right is calling the shots.

There’s a growing sense among foreign diplomats that moral or national security arguments — about defending a country unjustly invaded, deterring Russia, preventing a bigger war in Europe and safeguarding democracy — don’t work on the American far-right


When Republicans and Democrats strike deals, they love to say it shows the system works. But simply having a fractious, lengthy and seemingly unnecessary debate about a topic of global security can damage the perception of the U.S. as a reliable partner.

“It is right that countries debate their foreign policy stances, but if all foreign policy issues become domestic political theater, it becomes increasingly challenging for America to effectively play its global role on issues that need long-term commitment and U.S. political capital — such as climate change, Chinese authoritarianism, peace in the Middle East and containing Russian gangsterism,” a third European diplomat warned.

The current and former diplomats said their countries are more reluctant to sign deals with Washington because of the partisan divide. There’s worry that a new administration will abandon past agreements purely to appease rowdy electoral bases and not for legitimate national security reasons. The fate of the Iran nuclear deal was one example some mentioned.

“Foreign relations is very much based on trust, and when you know that the person that is in front of you may not be there or might be followed by somebody that feels exactly the opposite way, what is your incentive to do long-term deals?” a former Latin American diplomat asked

Just goes to show that 100% of donks and 60% of conks in Congress are a uniparty that doesn’t GAF about the national debt and mortgaging the country’s future..

Not giving "AF about the national debt and mortgaging the country’s future" also applies to all of the elected officials who voted for/signed The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA).

Or really any spending bill in the past decade. The money we're sending to Ukraine is peanuts compared to the unfunded spending that members of both parties have signed off on through multiple administrations over the past 10-15 years. To all of a sudden get fiscal religion now just to help Putin is strange indeed.

Its not all of a sudden getting fiscal religion now to ‘help Putin’. Most of those also voted against monster Covid bill #2 under Trump and all of them voted against #3 under Biden, and against’s Bidens so called infrastructure & inflation reduction, and new Green Deal bills A few of those (granted its not even close to the 35% or so who voted against the Ukraine bill) have consitently voted against big spending bills going back before Covid. Heck, I think Massey was the only 1 (or might have been a few) in Congress to vote against the 1st big Covid bill under Trump. He has a career of voting against almost every major spending bill.

Massie votes against spending because he wants smaller government not because he's a fiscal conservative.A fiscal conservative prioritizes the debt when voting. I counted 35 Representatives including Massie who voted against Ukraine aid but voted for The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). They don't get to use the impact on the debt to justify their vote.

A fiscal conservative votes for less spending, less taxes, and less govt. Massie checks on all 3.

That's your convenient opinion. True fiscal conservatives don't vote for less taxes without less spending. They don't pretend the debt is only a problem when a Democrat is POTUS.
