A Republican-controlled House isn't going to abandon Ukraine for Russia, writes TomRTweets.
Much media attention has been given to comments from Rep. Kevin McCarthy , who stands to become speaker of the House if Republicans do win a House majority. McCarthy warned last month that Americans don't want their elected representatives"to write a blank check to Ukraine." Alongside skepticism of U.S. support for Ukraine from other prominent Republicans, notably Sen.-elect J.D. Vance , some believe U.S. aid for Ukraine may soon come to an abrupt end.
Pertaining to Ukraine, the Republican focus in 2023 is likely to center on three issues. First, scrutinizing U.S. financial aid more closely to avoid its being lost to corruption . Second, pressuring European powers to carry their share of the burden in Ukraine's support. And third, ensuring U.S. munition stocks expended in Ukraine are rapidly replenished .
Nor will the Republican consensus that China now poses the preeminent threat to U.S. national security mean some kind of GOP push for detente with Putin. Instead, concerns over China will likely inform moves to increase military and security-related investments. Even if new military capabilities are rightly prioritized for the Pacific, at the margin, increased U.S. military power will translate to increased U.S. deterrent power against Russia.
So anyone hoping for some kind of alliance between Kevin McCarthy and Nikolai Patrushev will be disappointed.
