    Hard to say. Some republican, support trump. Some see trump as president and so don’t want to burn bridges. some are isolationists. All three would vote against aid but for difqerent reasons.

    Then there are republicans who oppose the soviet union and see russia as the same thing. Then there are those who support the military industry. Those who suphort ukrain for other reasons. These would all vote for aid.

    finally there are those who want toekeepithair job and are guessing what voters care about in november. Hard to say whatethese will do.

    many are in more than one group. Some will chenge their mind. people are complex.

      You are talking about the R’s from a decade and a half ago. Those folks all got tossed. The R’s are bought by Putin and everyone knows it. They are just too cowardly to admit it and thus arrange the deck chairs to give cover.

        “Cowardly” is not correct. They are cowards, but they aren’t doing this cowardly. If they did it in the open, they’d be stopped for being traitors. They hide and gaslight in order to progress their plans, not to hide their face.

        This is intelligent self-preservation of evil cowards. Not cowardly behavior.
