I believe Mike Johnson has certainly been compromised in some fashion.

That’s the only thing that makes sense.

I think Mike Johnson has an opportunity to salvage the disaster Joe Biden, Zelensky and the rest of the dead enders driving this conflict to the bitter end for their own corrupt purposes have created in Ukraine.

Absent US funding the Ukraine will likely collapse both militarily and economically by summer.

This would be bad for all parties ( and the rest of the world) , including the Russians.

It is in the interest of everyone to cease fire and negotiate and armistice ASAP.

Johnson may have the leverage to be the adult in the room and make the Ukraine funding contingent upon a near term end to the war.

If he can pull this off, he will be a hero and he will have done the world a great service.

If successfully, this will stop the death and destruction in Ukraine and allow portions of the aid package to be used for reconstruction of a post war Ukraine instead of even more extensive continued destruction. Russia pressing this war to it's ultimate conclusion will destroy most of whats left of Ukraine's infrastructure
