"It will look stupid when Ukraine collapses": Criticism of celebration with Ukrainian flags in the US Congress
Those who voted in favor of the measure have been accused of putting the interests of kyiv first, rather than those of the American people.
When the US House of Representatives
approved the bill for additional aid to the Kiev regime this Saturday, lawmakers who supported the measure immediately began celebrating by waving little Ukrainian flags and chanting "Ukraine, Ukraine." At the same time, this action was harshly criticized on social networks.
American businessman David Sacks shared these images on his X account,
noting that "
these scenes of celebration will look particularly stupid when Ukraine collapses anyway " He stressed that although the federal government "can print more money, it cannot print more shells or more soldiers."
For his part, Republican Senator Rand Paul
wrote : "Ukrainian flags fly in the US House of Representatives as they vote to send more of their hard-earned money to a corrupt foreign regime. And they shout 'Ukraine!' while they happily work to secure Ukraine's borders, not ours."
Republican Party Senator Eric Schmitt also recalled that while his own country's border is not secure, tens of billions of dollars are being sent to kyiv. "
First there is Ukraine, and then the US," he
said.
Following the vote, Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, known for actively opposing funding to Kiev,
accused those who voted in favor of working for Ukraine, and not the American people, calling it "
despicable ." "
It's about the sellout of America today. [...] I think every American in this country should be furious," she later
told reporters. Additionally, she called Republican Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House of Representatives, a "
traitor."
In turn, Republican Congressman from Arizona, Andy Biggs, pointed out that while Washington sends enormous sums to the Kiev regime, the US is rapidly approaching $35 trillion in national debt. "
The DC cartel cares more about Ukraine than you," He
tweeted .
"It infuriated me to see American representatives pass out and wave Ukrainian flags in the US House of Representatives,"
said Republican Congresswoman Kat Cammak, adding that her team is already drafting a bill that would ban the display of flags of foreign nations in the Lower House of Congress.
