In Washington the House of Representatives votes on a number of foreign aid bills including financial support for Israel and Ukraine in their war with Russia.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
The bills have been stalled for months in a standoff led mostly by some Republicans who oppose continuing financial and military aid for Ukraine.

Israel needs another 26 billion dollars. Really, for what? They have already flattened Gaza. It's such a depressing state of affairs.
Got push them in to Egypt .

Probably more of support of their economy. GDP fell by 19% in the fourth quarter of 2023.
What do you even know? Would have loved to see you being surrounded by neighbours who want you out. Neighbours who made war to you for the last 100 years who now complain you are having a tantrum. Start protesting against Hamas first, if you really love Palestine
@LawrenceReitan Blaming Hamas for everything is a tired talking point. We all know this all started with the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their homes to make room for Zionists. So come up with something better or just shutup. Any reasonable person knows that Israel is an apartheid state currently committing genocide against the Palestinian people. Most young Americans do not support Israel's actions. I believe that because of the young people, Palestine will eventually be free. Bye Felicia 👋.
Oh so we DO have $95 billion! Just not for the healthcare and education of Americans
I want to know , where was that money when American troops where being sent out as a suicide wish

Me, too. I did not count on: 1) colossal mistakes by Russia (Zelenskiy would flee, Hostmel would fall without resistence, the Sikivka convoy would reach Kiev without resistence), and 2) the bravery of the Ukrainians.

@@Ghostshadow714 Nope. This guy nailed it $60 billion doesn't mean squat for Ukraine. Pissing money away. The war was lost before it began!!
There are those who disagree with The Lt Colonel and believe that Ukraine indeed stand a chance of beating Putin. I wish you would have interviewed them as well so we would’ve had a balanced, both sides, discourse.
The Western media has spent the 2 years providing a platform to war mongers pushing for a endless war and death. It's about time they had someone on spitting facts.
99% of people on Channel 4 are on that side.
That was a very poor useless lackluster and potentially counterproductive interview by Channel 4 as if they just wanted to get on with it
Oh please, the Ukraine has already lost. The US is merely paying Zelensky to keep on providing cannon fodder for a lost war.

He's actually right. The U.S. with the allies and partners after WW2 created World order based on international law. And the U.S. is the major beneficiary of that order. So it's not only the U.S. responsibility to protect what's theirs from those who attempt to destroy it but it's in their strategic and economic interests to save it. If they fail to do so they will pay much much more.

Russia has ramped up it's production and western countries are doing the same. This guy says we should just give up and let Russia do whatever it wants. This man is a disgrace. Unfortunately if the US keeps its level of support where it's been up to now, Ukraine will lose, and then this loser of a guest can say, see I was right.

How is thay a contradiction? Ukraine can not defeat Russia. But Russia doesn't have the ability to fight an alliance with 4 times the manpower, 50 times the economic power and military spending. That is very accurate.
@@dragonlord1225 Only if you don’t consider the others who could join the fight. You have to understand that Iran, North Korea, China, Hamas, are on russia’s side, and countries like Slovakia and Hungary have Putin sympathisers in office. Belarus too, of course. They need Ukraine to prosecute the wider war they have planned, so while it won’t be an immediate attack on NATO, not stopping russia in Ukraine is a big mistake, and Ukraine can win, if fully supported. Cherrs from an American field living in a country once subjugated by the Soviet Union, close to Ukraine, with people in this fight. Americans must continue to support Ukraine, or it will cost far more in both money and lives later, American ones too.

All the coping in the comments here is at once hilarious and terrifying. Dan Davis is a retired US Army armored officer with combat experience. He saying what should be obvious to anyone with a basic understanding of the war: Ukraine started the war with 700k troops. Now it desperately needs 500k recruits to avoid losing. Clearly Ukraine has taken very heavy casualties and a negotiated settlement is now the most humane way forward. It’s also clear that the Russians have faced challenges. The BBC has said they’ve lost at least 50k KIA. So clearly they’re not in a rush to go with NATO after Ukraine (a war that everyone knows would go nuclear anyways). Guys it’s our own media and governments that have been lying to us about this war. Get a clue.
go bigger if ya gonna lie, say 10 million lulz
10 years ago Ukraine did not have an army and putin destroyed the few warships they had in Crimea! It is estimated that Russia loose at least 5 soldiers for every 1 soldier from Ukraine ! You CAN NOT TRUST Russia and Putin , negotiation is not an option for Ukraine before Russia leave their land
@@giovanni-ed7zq what part of what I said is a lie? Ukraine themselves have said they need 500k troops. And it’s a matter of public record they started with an army of 700k. So how have they only lost 30k as Zelensky says? They likely have well over a million casualties, and 400-500k of those are sadly KIA

Can’t make the artillery shells faster than we are right now?? What? Then how have we already increased it? Yes we can and we are. We’re on track for going from 28,000 per month to 70-80,000 by the end of this year with the goal of over 120,000 per month being a later target and the pentagon said we’re actually ahead of the scheduled timeline. And if you don’t make enough per month to do this now then that means we can’t fight a war with Russia or China because they would simply out-produce us so if you’re not going to increase the production now then just surrender America right now because that’s what this guy is saying. This guy clearly doesn’t know anything about defense production in the US.
Listening to Daniel Davis take about how it's too hard and think Russia can't be beat is so weak and frankly wrong in so many ways. Ukraine are beating Russian will limited support. If we all stop making excuses and just give them the damn weapons yesterday when the asked for it it Russia would be back in Moscow crying. Daniel's wrong and most of congres is right. I just want to say thank you to the majority of Americans that don't want to let Putin invade and try to take another democratic nation. Thank you for standing up for the values of your nation that you rightly care so much about. Thank you for helping this smaller nation that is getting destroyed by RUssia, day by day over the last 2+ years.

@@CountDuckEgg he watches too much CNN
"Ukraine is beating Russia"?? Oh I never knew we still have delusional people to this level!
I as an American fear my own government far more than Putin. Russia is the biggest country on earth and its growing at long last into the country it should be! In today's world, it's not about how much land you have but how you manage your resources and develop a life of value for your citizens! And Putin is staying on a course of solid value for families where as the UK and US are falling behind so how about us taking care and valuing our people and letting Putin continue doing a better job than either of us!!
The United States has the strongest military force. Our "government" can't shut down our entire force, there would be a civil war which is unlikely that rebels would jeopardize their evil scheme to put hippies up against Patriots. They are trying to move silently and undetected but that takes years and there are still people willing to fight against it. A government is made up of people. Not all of us are corrupt. Even if immigrants are coming in, most of them are stupid and don't know how to fight. They just have things handed to them like little sissy babies. The reason they're coming over is to either escape from conflict, get healthy, get an education, or some will become tyrants but not all. It's unlikely that the tyrants will outnumber the good ones.
I see you're ripe for emigration to Mother Russia. Go for it, don't dawdle on KZhead!
Imagine asking somebody on life support to go out and do a bunch of charity work. Yeah, it's like that.
My understanding is that both European and American defense companies are ramping up production. Russia had a head start for sure but if we keep funding and arming Ukraine we can wear them down.

From Hungary again: It's so generous from a country who gives out money while it can't handle his own loans! Just like one of the senators told: with the money sent to Ukraine, all the homeless would have a house or a flat in the USA!.. So I did the math! (only cash/transfer money) around 300 Billion dollar (including EURo-s too;) If we count 500k Russian soldiers (now in 2024 it may be more like +100k +200k) and we split the 300B USD = 600k USD per Russian soldier! Do you think it would had been easier and cheaper to buy them for like 75k USD?! (tho in this way the weapon factory owners doesn' t get any money)
So when Social Security qnd other American programs run out of money maybe we can get a loan from Ukraine.

Instead of asking questions about Col Davis people might be better served asking questions about how our media in the West has been in virtual lockstep with our governments and NATO on Ukraine. Zero critical questions asked, either about the historical context and reasons behind Russia’s invasion, about the realities on the ground and about Ukraine’s ability to win the war. It’s just been a simple tale of good vs evil and that “freedom must prevail against tyranny or else” narrative since the beginning. When has the world ever functioned like this? When has the US ever been involved in a war on a moral and ethical grounds since WW2?

@CountDuckEgg They can’t stand the truth, anyone saying anything against their sick brainwashed logic is Putins puppet.. 🐑 mentality
You are not disturbed about the 500,000 dead Ukrainians?
No one likes Americans, it’s not just the Russians.
Frederick, no peace talks mean more deaths, mainly on the Ukrainian side, but who cares, right?
Ukraine, Taiwan, Israel and the Philippines have all put their faith on the US. It's now the turn of the US to show that it is a true and reliable friend and ally. Thank you USA. This have strengthened my faith in America.
you can't even speak English...
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 people here don't like to hear the truth... why hating on the messenger? He is just talking facts
They care about their own pockets more than human life. Disgusting.
Back in the game. Slava Ukraine!
YESSSS!!!!! Sooo relieved and so happy!!! Makes me calm my nerves being a polish person living in the UK whose family lives near the border with Ukraine. SLAVA UKRAINE!!!
@@crow22zeroHow it makes you feel better. Ukraine has 0 chance of winning the war, it just extends the war and risks escalation , in this case , poland is a battlefield. What is your logic? That Ukraine is going to win with Russia with 60 bln? It’s 10 to 1 soldiers on battlefield and Ukraine package will last for few months.
@@crow22zero ukraine need to surrender for it's own good, russia will not take the defeat and you know that
@@aerokasyeal4840”America needs to surrender its for your own good. Nazi Germany will not take the defeat and you know that.” It doesn’t matter if they won’t take defeat. We will never bow down to evil.
@olivka7560 Haha cry more traitor 😅
This guy is on Putin's payroll....
Mabye he's just being tactical and has experience in this field. Be academic.
He was probably a Lt. In the coast guard.
sorry men; All Europe and US, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea etc can not produce more ammunitions then Russia does?
Amazing really. The problem is that the West thought that sanctions would cripple Russia and there wouldn't be a need for sustained production so they didn't shift industry into massive armaments production.
It’s a lack of willingness to focus on it, if those countries would focus as much of their industry on armaments production as russia dose they would out produce russia by a very large margin.
With $96 billion US can easily fix homelessness in their own country.
Lieutenant colonel what’s his name does not have a grasp on the situation. He is not considering that Russia is also Iran, China, North Korea, Hamas, and others. Helping Ukraine is critical to our own security needs, and aligns with our values. Ukraine can win if given what they need. He is wrong. I support Ukraine. 🇺🇦 🇺🇸
He’s a member of a think tank founded by Rand Paul supporters and he cites an article by MAGA congressman JD Vance. Make of that what you will.
Ukraine can only win with NATO troops on the ground which means direct hostilities with Russia. This is NATO telling Zelensky, “We’re willing to fight to the last Ukrainian, especially if Boeing, Raytheon, and McDonnell Douglas stock goes up.”
@@honved1would you say in that case that he is biased or is his view well-balanced? Really curious to hear what you make of it. He’s complaining about the lack of ammunition and missiles despite the bill passing, but wasn’t artillery part of the bill I thought?
Another Russian stooge, funded by Russia.
He also supports Ukraine. I do too, but it's gonna be hard to win it on the battlefield. Economically you can win it. A huge part of Russia is flooded by corruption. Resistance will grow against Putin too inside Russia. If Putin now comes for a deal in the next years you can just as NATO.. Get all out of Ukraine or we will intervene. He would be extremely weak and has to nuke or has to leave. He will never use nukes i think. Certainly not when Russian start to revolt.
60 BILLION FOR UKRAINE ALONE THIS IS SO F-ING UNFAIR FOR THE SUFFERING AMERICANS
They will suffer more without it.
@@ZigSputnikhow?
No mention of the 25 billion for Israel.
SO,ITS OUR TURN NOW OK
@@50_Pence After succeeding in Ukraine do you think Putin is going to stop there?
Just dont give money anymore, focus on our own US citizens first. Inflation is a b*tch.
10 years after US supplied Artillery was given to Azov Thugs, the death of Civilians in Donetsk still was being counted. After removing the Avdivka threat, it is quieter. The Artillery West of Donetsk can still reach the edge of Donetsk. That source is slowly being stopped. How long will American Citizens allow their Government to buy a Merc Military to wear Russia down?
60billion that could help hundred of thousands of veterans and homeless in the US.
There’s more than enough to help those in need here.
They're not sending money, just old weapons that are worth that amount.
@dri2383 Right. Biden just keep$ printing it....
Imagine not reading a bill in your own country. Actual money being sent to Ukraine is roughly 20% of the bill and that is being handled by the EU so there can't be any corruption interfering with where the money goes (which is the typical MAGA argument to giving them money), the rest is sending all of your old equipment that would cost billions to decommission and manufacturing the same quantity of missiles, giving the US a huge economic boost in jobs and manufacturing and in turn saving the billions to decommission the bombs in the US instead just sending them to Ukraine to be used. If you can tell me how old going out of date bombs are going to give your Veterans and homeless aid then I'm sure everyone will be all ears.
@@dri2383Can you explain further?
The best and clearest message they could send to Putin .
Putin cares?
Putin has to be stopped. He whines about nuclear war every 5 minutes and we treat that MFer like he is serious. The United States of America could send a more clear message.
@@fierybutmostlypeaceful1708 Well probably not it's time for his bayonet colonoscopy.
No blank check for isreal or any. I am for Ukraine, no blank checks. Gaza needs food and water and help medical.
Gaza and Ukraine are in a similar position
@@krisowy79 you are right both poked a bear they shouldn't have and now its up to the rest of the world to pay for it
That woman is an absolute embarrassment to our nation 😢 And that "expert" has no clue as to what he is talking about!
I guess all you people want to hear is "Ukraine is winning!!! Slava Ukraine!! Ruzzian Orcs is deads!!" Right?
60 bln up zelenskys nose 😂
I don’t think he’s 100% right because the amount of money converted into weapons from the US is buying time for Europe to scale up their own production to deliver to Ukraine. So it buys time and Europe will support even more and are gearing up at the moment.👍
This is so ridiculous
