‘David Cameron can kiss my ass’: Secretary of State sparks Republican anger in US after comparing efforts to curb aid to Ukraine to appeasing Hitler in 1930s

David Cameron sparked fury in the US after he compared efforts to curb aid to Ukraine to appeasing Hitler.

The secretary of state implored Republicans not to hinder additional military aid packages for Ukraine, equating such a move with Hitler’s appeasement ahead of the invasion of Poland that sparked World War II.

The former prime minister called out the Republican Party in an op-ed in the Hill, saying, “I don’t want us to show the weakness that was shown against Hitler in the 1930s.”

Lord Cameron said he was ‘dropping all diplomatic niceties’ and trying to convince Republicans that a decision to firmly back Ukraine would send a signal to Iran and China amid escalating tensions in the Middle East and around Taiwan .

‘I don’t want us to show the weakness that was shown against Hitler in the 1930s. He came back for more, costing us many more lives to stop his aggression,” he wrote in a sensational op-ed for The hill.

‘We all have to ask ourselves: who is watching? America is strong enough to protect itself both at home and to recognize that threats in Europe or Asia affect its own security. I would like Beijing and Tehran to see that.”

But Republicans fired back at the foreign secretary, saying Britain has not paid its fair share of aid to Ukraine in its fight against Russia.

‘That’s hilarious. David Cameron can kiss my a**’ Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is against sending extra money to Ukraine, told DailyMail.com in response.

Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., called Cameron’s statement “laughable,” adding that he has “a rich disdain for such an immature opinion.”

Republicans opposed to sending more aid to Ukraine worry about signing a “blank check” without clear benchmarks for ending the war.

Republican Mike Waltz, R-Fla., told DailyMail.com that it would be “nice” if “our British friends would pay more attention to demanding that the rest of Europe contribute its fair share, rather than demanding that the United States is signing a blank check. ‘

Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, wondered, “Where is Britain in all of this?”

The op-ed comes as Lord Cameron met with Bulgarian Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov and Foreign Minister Mariya Gabriel in Sofia, where he shared a similar message with reporters.

“Putin thinks he can outweigh us and outlast us, but we are going to prove him wrong,” he said.

Lord Cameron is currently on a whirlwind tour of Europe which started in Sofia and will be heading to Poland before culminating in an appearance at the Munich Security Conference later this week, where he is expected to urge allies to boost defense production for Ukraine.

Cameron’s visits will include discussions on how to strengthen Ukraine in the war now, how the country can win if Putin prolongs hostilities, and how to lay the foundation for Ukraine’s long-term future, he said. office.

Both Britain and the European Union recently announced new aid packages for Ukraine – another factor Lord Cameron used to pressure US lawmakers to approve a massive aid package for Kiev.

“If you add up the countries that support Ukraine, we outnumber Russia economically 25 to 1. All we have to do is make that economic strength pay off, and I hope that happens in Washington in the coming hours,” he said. Cameron.

US President Joe Biden on Tuesday called on Republicans in the House of Representatives to urgently vote on a $95.3 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. Putin’s hands’.

“Supporting this bill means standing up to Putin,” Biden said, raising his voice in strong comments from the White House as he referred to the Russian leader.

‘We can’t run away now. That’s what Putin is betting on.”

But the package faces a very uncertain future in the House of Representatives, where hardline Republicans aligned with former President Donald Trump — the frontrunner for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination and a critic of aid to Ukraine — are opposing the oppose legislation.

Speaker Mike Johnson cast new doubt on the package this week, making clear it could take weeks or months for Congress to send the legislation to Biden’s desk — if at all.

The potential standoff comes at a crucial point in the nearly two-year war, with supporters warning that leaving Ukraine could embolden Putin and threaten national security around the world.

Still, the months-long push to approve the $60 billion in aid for Kiev included in the package has exposed growing political divisions within the Republican Party over the United States’ role abroad.

Biden also lashed out at Trump, who said during a campaign appearance on Saturday that he once warned that he would allow Russia to do whatever it wants to NATO member states that are “backward” in spending 2% of their gross domestic product to defense.

The 31 allies have committed to spending 2% of their production on defense, but have not all done so individually.
