For some reason I get a bad feeling every time I listen to him. I'm skeptical he was ever involved in actual combat, and feel most of his beliefs are based primarily on academics.
I wish I was one of his students, we would have had some great and lively discussions. Of course he would fail me.

The person who made this video doesn't even understand what the actual issue is in Congress....
The problem isn't in authorizing aid for Ukraine.
Mike Johnson and the Rs in Congress have indicated they will vote for more aid for Ukraine, but they have tied this aid to a demand that the Biden administration do something to address the crisis at the southern Border.
In response, Joe Biden has refused to admit that there even is a crisis.
IMHO Mike Johnson is making a very reasonable request.....and it's very much line with the way that Congress has operated ever since the American Republic was founded. Trading votes and reaching compromises is the very essence of democracy....but Biden won't give an inch to help Ukraine.
The real problem here is Joe Biden......it is impossible to negotiate with someone who is such a confirmed liar that they won't even admit to the most obvious facts, i.e. that there is an immigration crisis going on at the southern border on his watch.
Biden is such a confirmed liar that he won't even admit that there is an immigration crisis going on at the southern border on his watch.
Cheers!
