Dear Antiwar.com Reader,<\/p>\n

Did you watch any of the Congressional session on Saturday? I’ve been watching these things regularly since I was a kid, and I have literally never seen anything like it.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/i><\/span><\/b><\/span>US lawmakers passed a raft of legislation containing some $95 billion in military aid<\/a> for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, and also approved a bill that will allow Washington to hand Kiev assets seized from Russia and pave the way for a ban on TikTok.<\/p>\n

They considered all four war bills in a single debate, with only three House members allowed to speak in opposition. They allowed voting on only seven amendments for all four bills combined. Usually the voting is “limited” to 15 minutes, but that is not enforced and often goes for 30-40 minutes. But this time, the voting time limit on each bill was for FIVE MINUTES, strictly enforced. For the seven amendments, the time limit for each was for TWO MINUTES!<\/p>\n

The Taiwan bill is for $8 billion, but it allows the President to divert those funds to Ukraine. Part of the Ukraine money is technically a loan, but Ukraine’s government is allowed to pay that back with stolen Russian assets.<\/p>\n

The entire thing lasted only a little over three hours. After the Ukraine vote, the House broke into chants praising Ukraine and many of them waved Ukraine flags. It was surreal.<\/p>\n
