5. As if Donnie would listen.

They're talking about "impounding" funds congress allocates, i.e., not spending on what congress appropriated spending for.

So Donnie could use that to halt helping Ukraine. Zelenskyy sees the writing on the wall and has signaled he will consider peace in exchange for nato membership, apparently even conceding crimea to Russia.

This would allow Putin to take over if he can rebuild his military against a weakened Ukraine. Or he can take over the baltic states. Then Donnie will refuse to help, as he indicated during the campaign.

Congress can hoot and holler about the treaty and this new bill, not what could they do if Donnie just says no?
