You caught that, huh? The only reason Jordan was not allowed to become Speaker of the House is because he is opposed to more Ukraine war funding.

Of course, there still won't be any until a Speaker is elected, and we're in uncharted territory here. I have no idea how long this wonderful situation where Congress can't do anything to us will continue, but I'll enjoy it while I can.

I would say that US constant support of Israel, although driven by a number of factors, could indeed be said to derive from its "desire to uphold its declining unipolar hegemony" in the region. The NATO- Russia proxy war in Ukraine, on the other hand, although begun by Russia in 2022, can be said to ultimately be the response by Russia to NATO's incremental encroachment over the years on Russia's sphere of interest. That encroachment threatened to involve Ukraine once Biden won the 2020 election and resumed his efforts to get Ukraine into NATO.
