    This is almost certainly not true. There are ways to push the breaks lightly, without cutting off funds. There are ways to press the gas too. If you don’t think lightly tapping the breaks is any different than not doing it, I’d have to disagree. In my opinion there’s likely a countable difference in body count. Not to mention that the other guys could easily increase the funding, which could cause a few of the other meat grinding dominoes to fall. I don’t see the Republican Blinken running around trying to negotiate some ceasefire.

      Biden literally circumvented congress twice to give Israel more weapons, using an unusual method that is not standard practice. He did not have to do this. No matter what comes out of his mouth, his actions put the lie to it.

      I do agree the Republicans would probably be even worse, while simultaneously dropping the much needed Ukraine aid too. But Biden ain’t tapping any breaks.
