 U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer warns U.S. will be fighting Russia if bill isn't passed. U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer warned that if Republicans don't help pass the Senate's border security bill that includes $60 billion in aid for Ukraine, Russia will prevail and U.S. troops will soon be fighting in a NATO ally in Eastern Europe. We're at a turning point in America, Schumer said on MSNBC. This bill is crucial, and history will look back on it and say, did America fail itself? Why is it crucial? Well, if we don't aid Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin will walk all over Ukraine, we will lose the war and we could be fighting in Eastern Europe in a NATO ally in a few years. Americans won't like that. Text of the bipartisan legislation, which also includes aid to Israel and Taiwan, was released over the weekend and got a chilly reception among GOP lawmakers, even though Senator James Lankford worked to negotiate the deal and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell gave it a thumbs up, it faces an uncertain future, especially in the GOP-controlled house. If we don't help Israel defend itself against Hamas, that perpetual war will go on and on and on. Schumer said if we don't help with humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza, hundreds and thousands could starve. And the border, everyone has said it's chaos. Schumer then blamed Republican objections to the legislation on the Democrats' favorite boogeyman, former President Donald Trump.
