It’s obvious, and either many congressmen are an agent of a foreign power, or are truly dumb enough to not realize the unspoken obviousness of this simple fact.
Prefix: I ended up ranting/venting a bit… our government is so frustrating at times:
From a US perspective, it is more a time for other countries to step up in this regard (as they have been), as while continued funding and support from the US will happen, it may be a long time from the US (maybe even 2 to 4 years if this election cycle doesn’t oust/block some of these nutjobs that are either beholden to outside powers, or don’t understand anything outside our own borders).
I’ll take this time to say what many keep unspoken, because Ukrainians have the balls to actually voice it to the world:
No offense to Ukrainians, I want them to win, but even a loss in Ukraine after a sustained long drawn out battle, is of benefit to any country Russia considers an adversary, a place to oppress, or a country were attractive resources. Ukraine should be supported in their opposition to this invasion for as many years as it takes, no matter what. Twenty years, fifty years, however long; there should be no metric of ‘it’s been 2 years, and Ukraine hasn’t won; are they just wasting our money?’. That is just a dumb concept.
Could Americans, just for once, take responsibility for their own shitty politicians and politics, rather than blaming it on foreigners? This “foreign agent” bullshit is basically the same kind of conspiracy theory scape goating that Republicans do with Qanon, and it’s bordering on fascistic in it’s attitude.
USA is a fascist country. Why do you even need to elaborate? Hitler’s racial segregation policies were inspired by USA. USA to this date has Confederate flags in houses and sundown cities. And this is not limited to Republicans. The “leftist” liberals used Uyghurs for a fake genocide agenda, cheered for Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan, and are happy about the genocide of brown skin Arabs. I trust sleeping naked with a cobra in a dark jungle over trusting USA.
Saying that foreign agents control your politicians is far more damning of those politicians and your country than it is of the foreign agents. Foreign agents are supposed to try to influence the politicians, and the politicians are supposed to resist that influence. One group is doing their job, and the other isn’t.
Nothing about my point is changed in the slightest by that distinction. If your country’s politicians are another country’s agents, your country is doing it wrong.
I get what you are saying, but but whether or not a country’s politicians are loyal to that country isn’t a fascist thing, even if fascists are quick to claim it as part of their fear generating schtick.
As far as I am personally concerned, the super wealthy are way more foreign to me than regular folks in the rest of the world. In that sense, our US politicians definitely serve foreign interests. Our politicians serve anyone with cash, and I don’t think they care much which side of the border that money comes from.
And they are correct. I really wish Congress would get their shit together.
There’s no verse about Ukraine like there is about Israel
As long as we [Arabs] keep Israel busy the US will ignore Ukraine and that’s a promise
Why? They’re doing exactly what they’re paid to do.

For one thing, they didn’t say their politicians are controlled by foreign agents, they said that their politicians are foreign agents.
But either way, turning to conspiracy theories in order to blame domestic issues on foreign scapegoats is a fascist thing to do.
