Hi,

I dislike the wording "funding a war in Ukraine".

What the US funds is the Ukrainian defense operation against the Russian  
genocidal incursion. That's quite a difference.

There is no taking a pause and reflecting as long as Russia makes it very  
clear in every single of its commuincations that its goal is to subdue not  
only Ukraine, but also to destroy NATO and subdue the rest of Europe.

I mean, from a U.S. perspective you could be isolationist and say who  
cares, but then you should calculate the economic consequences of losing  
all trade with Europe and make a plan where the refugess from Europe will  
end up.

Russia is the new Nazi Germany, the sooner everybody in the U.S. realizes  
this the better.

Now to your topic, I hear Johnson has been visted from leaders of  
Evangelical churches from Ukraine before his decision, who reported first  
hand on what Russia does to their congregations in the occupied  
territories and how Russia uses orthodox churches there as ammunition  
depots. If Johnson is indeed a Christian he may well have realized that  
Putin and his KGB-monch Kyrill are the latest incarnation of the  
Antichrist.

I have no answer as to why he supported later term abortion, but you  
should realize that in dirty politics not every topic is related with  
every other topic. If you try to find a single explanation for all of Mr.  
Johnson's actions this single explanation will very likely be wrong.

I am a German who lived in Ukraine for ten years and speaks Russian and  
Ukrainian, and am really abhorred by the plans for complete European  
subduement that are openly laid out in the Russian media space. I am  
deeply thankful to the House of Reps for passing the Ukrainian, Israel and  
Taiwan aid bill. From all the superpowers (and wannabes) in the world, the  
U.S. is by far the most human and Christian one. The world will become a  
much darker place if the U.S. decides to become isolationsts again.

Kind regards,
Tobias
