the allied war effort. i know that germany like worked around the atlantic did did germany ever work with japan in regards to like destroying shipping in like other areas like around africa, in asia, yes. so there are some german and japanese vessels operating in the indian ocean and there are there is a very limited exchange between german and japanese forces where german submarines or japanese submarines actually transmitting back and forth, carrying technology plans. or in some instances the germans were even loading up submarines with rubber when they got very short on rubber in japanese ports, sailing all the way back to to germany. so there is some exchange but very little coordinated planning between the two. really no coordinated operational planning though. again, technology skill exchanges and some some kind of help each other in the war at sea by exchanging information. but quite limited in terms of coordination. all right. i think that about does it for us. i will you all on monday have a great

secondly, our allies in ukraine can no more afford a delay than our allies in israel. ukraine is at a critical point in a brutal war to defend its sovereignty against putin's bloody invasion. we must not give putin a win and throw ukraine to the wolves for political expediency. after all, what sort of message does it send about our commitment to our allies if we delay ukraine aid further? especially after we have already missed our earlier opportunities to get this done. for american leadership to have any weight in the world, our word has to mean something. our commitments have to be ironclad. that means we do not abandon our allies in their time of need, period. failing to stand by ukraine now will only embolden putin and other dictators looking to trample democracies, which brings me to my last point -- while the challenges that we and our partners face across the globe have different natures and nuances, we have to be strategic enough to understand that they are connected. they are urgent, and they should be addressed as part of one package. the chinese government

our sole democratic ally in the meas deserves better. don't try to say you have israel's best interests at heart. the israeli people deserve better. the speaker pro tempore: i remind all members to address your comments to the chair. the gentlelady from connecticut reserves. the gentlelady from texas is recognized. ms. granger: i yield to the gentleman from georgia, a member of the appropriations committee, mr. clyde, for two minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognize for two minutes. mr. clyde: i'm proud to be a co-sponsor of of the israel supplemental appropriations act which provides critical assistance to our great ally israel while also replenishing our own defense stockpiles and ensthierg safe return of american citizens impacted by hamas' barbaric terrorist attack on israel. on october 7, iran-backed hamas terrorists committed heinous attacks the people of israel. in the days following the savmg onslaught, the world has watched in horror as images and reports reveal the vile depps of hamas' depravity. they have p

i believe we must move forward with emerging funding for our allies, all of our allies, not just the state of israel but also ukraine. we are in a situation where both of these countries are in tremendous stress. but it's very clear that the proposal before us, this unanimous consent to pass the bill, including only funding for israel, is just ironically an attempt to deny funding to ukraine. it's not really about helping israel, it's about making sure we don't continue our support and commitment to ukraine. that commitment is just as vitally important to us as our solemn commitment to israel. if we fail to support ukraine, we will send a very unfortunate message to our adversaries. you can succeed in overrunning america's allies if you simply wait us out. my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have been spinning a false narrative that says by providing support for ukraine, we already deny support for israel. the truth is that the only obstacle to providing help to both nations is them. and the truth is also that the united states is already supporting the state of israel. the

that is an interest of every single ally around the table.t is an interest of many countries beyond this alliance with the we have been working with since february of 2022 and accelerating efforts to enable ukraine to stand on its own feet, economically and democratically. even as we support ukraine's today, we are helping them to build a military. the supplemental budget request the president made is a demonstration of our own commitment to that goal and we are looking to congress to approve it in the coming weeks. another critical point that is really worth underscoring and it is reinforced by everything i have seen the last two days, when it comes to ukraine, the united states is not standing alone. we provided about $77 billion in assistance to ukraine. our european allies over the same period of time have provided over $110 billion. we often talk about burden sharing, when it comes to ukraine, that is what we have seen and we continue to see. ukraine knows that its future as a free democracy and its path to nato and the european union is

united states secretary of state antony blinken assures that the allies are not tired of helping ukraine, but if we talk about the united states, then a large package of military aid for ukraine is stuck in congress there, and it is not known what the support will be after the american presidential elections. elections why are we talking about western support for ukraine? this is. discussed by the ministers of foreign affairs of the nato countries, meeting in brussels. yesterday there was a meeting of only members of the alliance, and today a meeting of the ukraine-nato council took place in an extended circle with a representative of ukraine. what kind of advice is this? this is such an upgrade in kyiv's relations with the alliance, a format that appeared this summer after the nato summit in vilnius. more than a partnership, a conversation on equal terms, this is how this nato meeting place fits. and at today's meeting in brussels discussed the reforms needed by ukraine on the way to nato for better compatibility with the alliance, and yes, expressed support, here are some quotes from t

democrats are committed to defending democracy abroad and standing shoulder to shoulder with our allies. america's leadership on the world stage is being threatened. i said this during my speech, some of the greatest threats we face are through extremism and partisanship and we are seeing that play out with our new speaker today. this time they are seeking to condition life-saving aid to israel for the sole purpose for making it easier for billionaires to cheat on their taxes. according to the congressional budget office their bill is not an offset and the corresponding cuts and revenues would increase our deficit by $12.5 billion. let's keep this in mind, the deadline for government funding approaches and house republicans pretend to care about spending. they are leaving the ukrainian people high and dry in the war to stop vladimir putin and preventing the united states from bolstering our ally in taiwan against beijing's aggression. after 22 days of extreme maga republicans holding the institution hostage house democrats are ready to get to work to deliver for the most pressing issues

a call for that aid to be sent to allies without conditions. they also spoke about the war in ukraine and recent attempt to censure members of the house. >> good morning, please to be joined with vice chair ted lou this morning. i want to say that house democrats are committed to defending democracy abroad and standing shoulder to shoulder with our allies. america's leadership on the world stage is being threatened. i said this during my speech, some of the greatest threats we face are through extremism and partisanship and we are seeing that play out with our new speaker today. this time they are seeking to condition life-saving aid to israel for the sole purpose for making it easier for billionaires to cheat on their taxes. according to the congressional budget office their bill is not an offset and the corresponding cuts and revenues would increase our deficit by $12.5 billion. let's keep this in mind, the deadline for government funding approaches and house republicans pretend to care about spending. they are leaving the ukrainian people hi

, well, we call them allies , although, unfortunately, we do not have a single ally in the world that is not established by international agreements, but there may be, if we become a member of nato, then they will allies, then there will be direct obligations to come out on our side war, so i hear these words less and less, and more and more i hear giving ukraine the opportunity to defend itself in the future, i am very worried about this, because the vision of ukraine, which can defend itself there every time, mobilizing a million people, is the wrong vision for the country, then there will be no development, the right vision, when there will be collective responsibility and collective defense, and in this regard, i think i hear less of these signals lately from anyone from nato, from the political leadership, therefore, we need to think about what will happen... relatively speaking, in november of next year, we need to think about what will happen to ukraine in the following years, so let's be honest, ukraine will give a lot of forces, human forces, resources and everything else, we

and 19 nato allies have plans to do so. in other words, devoting 2% of their budgets to defense spending. that is 2/3 of our alliance. and contributions of forces and other capabilities. we are working together to boost our national defense capacity, finland and the 32nd, sweden will be among us. nato will continue to adapt to meet 21st century challenges, threats, russian adpretion, coercion from china, challenges in cyber space, the entire gambit of things we have to be concerned. and this has made nato the indispensible alliance and the actions we have taken are nato is the alliance in the next 75 years. the meeting focused on critical steps to advance reviet lization the summit that will take place next year. we focused on nato's support and commitment to ukraine. listening to all of our colleagues around the table, every single one expressed strong enduring support for ukraine. some are questioning whether the united states and other nato allies should continue to stand with ukraine as we enter the second winter of put

i believe we must move forward with emerging funding for our allies, all of our allies, not just the state of israel but also ukraine. we are in a situation where both of these countries are in tremendous stress. but it's very clear that the proposal before us, this unanimous consent to pass the bill, including only funding for israel, is just ironically an attempt to deny funding to ukraine. it's not really about helping israel, it's about making sure we don't continue our support and commitment to ukraine. that commitment is just as vitally important to us as our solemn commitment to israel. if we fail to support ukraine, we will send a very unfortunate message to our adversaries. you can succeed in overrunning america's allies if you simply wait us out. my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have been spinning a false narrative that says by providing support for ukraine, we already deny support for israel. the truth is that the only obstacle to providing help to both nations is them. and the truth is also that the united states is already supporting the state of israel. the

but of course, so are our allies? i believe so to each of you beginning with dr cha, what would be the impact on the psychology of our security alliance between the united states and south korea? what would be the psychological impact in south korea where the united states to discontinue its support to the people of ukraine? >> so it's a great question. i'll offer some thoughts on it. i think. so the region, south korea, our allies, south korea, japan and australia are watching very closely what the united states is doing in ukraine and how we're supporting ukraine if we were to discontinue funding, you know, i think politically they could rationalize it and say, well, you know, south korea and japan, we're treaty allies. ukraine is not a treaty ally, it's not a member of nato. so i think publicly, politically they could rationalize it. but inside, behind closed doors, i think they would be very concerned that an attack of this nature against a country unprovoked and then the united states does not continue its suppor

there are an ally, therefore _ and economic allies.ore it is really reducing risk in the current? that�*s exactly the idea and for example if we look at american chinese trade tensions, there is clearly been a policy to reduce trade and imports to the us from china which has led to mexico supplanting china as its top trading partner this year. similarly the eu has attempted its version based on what happened with germany�*s dependent on russian gas imports to try to do the same going forward. if imports to try to do the same going forward-— imports to try to do the same going forward. if we are seeing more trade _ going forward. if we are seeing more trade fran _ going forward. if we are seeing more trade fran shoring - going forward. if we are seeing more trade fran shoring going | more trade fran shoring going on with global trade, is that good or bad? it on with global trade, is that good or bad?— good or bad? it has mixed effects in _ good or bad? it has mixed effects in terms _ good or bad? it has mixed effects in terms of - good

i would say also asian allies including allies like australia, japan, south korea have also stepped up, they want to work with the united states and help to support the united states and nato in terms of what they are doing in ukraine as you know well, the japanese and south koreans have been providing a lot of assistance and the south korean president has even hinted he would provide more assistance not just humanitarian but lethal assistance. nevertheless, if the united states would stop funding the defense of ukraine. the allies think about our credibility to >> thank you, mr. snyder. i would agree as i suggested in my opening remarks that there is the risk of revisionist contagion that i think our allies are in -- in asia are focused on. there's a reason why the invasion had such a big impact on their own for perceptions in the region, so i do believe that would be a setback. as related to the idea of allies stepping up, i believe the idea that most have is that they would go together with the united states if they are asked to fill the gap, i think in particular in the context of

have to work with our arab allies and allies around the world to do this. i think the will will be the -- will be there to do that this time. host: is a diplomatic solution possible with the current prime minister, benjamin netanyahu? guest: we have yet to see that, but he had -- he has said some interesting things during this conflict. particularly on the future of gaza. what i'm doing is, i'm talking with many of the arab ambassadors. i talked with the ambassador to egypt. we have scheduled with the jordanian ambassador. even the vatican ambassador, for a different region. i'm trying to work the diplomatic circle around what is occurring in order to push for negotiations, and perhaps a breakthrough that world history has never seen. host: what are those arab leaders telling you? guest: you know what? they are very open. they are involved in their own discussions, behind closed doors obviously, with other arab leaders. they do not want this war going on in their region. that is such a blood-soaked region of the world, and i think they are all looking for a

in a price cap coalition allies can provide. but we knew todo keep an eye on the shadow fleetup the growth of the shadow fleet and the reality of what was up until last year a fairly homogenized global crude oil market has now been bifurcated into two channels. >> thank you if i courtesy my time is running out. thank you we have got to keep the pressure on. my last question relates to the reconstruction efforts. we had scott nathan the head of dfc before this committee not that long ago. as you don't we took opec and tried to beef it up into the dfc. but one of things apparently left behind as opec allowed much more easily available political insurance the way omb scores at the dfc that was not the intention intention was for that to be more robust are you aware of thiss issue and can we fix it so when it comes to getting more investment in ukraine under politically and other risky circumstances we have all the tools available. >> thank you center for your question and yes i am aware and i do know they carry political risk insur

with trusted allies producing enough ammunition to defend our own homeland and help our allies , to.having the capability required to suspend our nation and protect our interests. >> do you think we are producing enough. >> we are rampingng up. i know we are trying to. >> if we had to only research ourselves the allies and partners like ukraine. it will require -- >> i am just asking the question are we basically overproducing. that wasas a question. the other thing that is been asked of me is our commitment to win the it has not been too good with vietnam enough cap -- odafghanistan and ukraine giving out the result. i believe ukraine is the most, i think that it is the purpose in the most honorable position that we have ever taken in my lifetime seeing we were committed to playing the role the united states plays. defend almosts freedom and liberties. that is the least that we can do to support them. next of all, on our support israel, taking out hamas. are we committed to doing that? why can't the people and the palestinian people, are they committed to the cause? that is why they

our allies and partners, $90 billion. if you look at budget support, united states has supported about 22 billion. military sport, allies and partners, $33 billion. humanitarian assistance, united states, $2.3 billion. allies a partner, a 4.5 billion plus another 18 to 20 billion in caring for the many repudiation who went to europe. i think the message it would send, first of all, to impeach everyone of these countries, the united states is abandoning ship, we may as well too. second, our alliance itself is founded on the proposition we are all in this together. i think they would see this as a retreat from our own responsibilities. finally, you are the secretary of defense say this, there is no date in my mind that if putin is continue to allow, not only would he stop ukraine, it would send the message to would- be aggressors everywhere the world that if he can get away with it, so can we. then we are likely to have a world full of conflict and that is a world that is not for the united states. we are much better sustai

allies a partner, a 4.5 billion . plus another 18 to 20 billion in caring for the many who went to europe. i think the message it would send, first of all, to peach everyone of these countries, the united states is abandoning ship, we may as well too. second, our alliance itself is founded on the proposition we are all in this together. i think they would see this as a retreat from our own responsibilities. finally, there is no date in my mind that if putin is continue to allow, not only would he stop ukraine, it would send the message to would-be aggressors everywhere the world that if he can get away with it, so can we. then we are likely to have a world full of conflict and that is a world that is not for the united states. we are much better sustaining our effort now than having to pay a much higher price later. >> mr. secretary, it can't be a coincidence that putin would invite the head of the hamas terrorist organization to moscow to stay just days after the october 7 attack. a terrible massacre which you have d

and here are the thoughts of our western allies, they are now a reflection of what is happening now,t will not be this does not mean that with the change of circumstances in ukraine, for example, and in israel, these opinions will not also change and evolve. mr. taras, about the opinions of our allies at biden's in the white house, they said that the aid packages for ukraine... are smaller due to the fact that congress cannot reach an agreement in a vote, and we see that interest in ukraine is decreasing, decreasing in therefore, it manifests itself in this way, moreover, polls of americans have shown that among americans who believe that the united states provides too much aid to ukraine, there have already been more of them, they are now about 40%, six months ago there were about 30 %, but actually these trends are understandable to a certain extent, yes, with the rest of the united states of america, american citizens should focus primarily on their own problems, internal, on their own national interests, and to what extent , they argue, the need for assistance to ukraine and the

vasily, to what extent do bloc... allied relations generally correspond to the traditions of asia, itk like something bloc, the idea in our traditional understanding in asia can only date back to 1940, when japan proclaims such an ambitious project to create a sphere of co-prosperity for the great east asia, and, so to speak, without a doubt, it includes not only, say, pro-japanese regimes in manchego, china in thailand, but also a scheme, a plan for the future, simply because in asia at that time, let’s say, there were not very many independent states that could act as independent actors during the formation, this is, of course, a fundamental difference from the european theater; by the mid -thirties, germany and italy coincided in one desire, they wanted to reconsider the world order that had developed after the first world war war, so they looked for ways to expand influence. on november 25, 1936, in berlin, nazi germany and imperial japan concluded the anti-comtern pact; in september 1946, germany, italy and japan signed the tripartite pact. this is how the military alliance of th

llevaban a méxico, un pueblo en jalisco, que es en la región del oeste de méxico, y yo pienso que allíros de mexicanos, la cultura latina, y regresaba de méxico inspirado, y entonces eso, eso me ayudó mucho, y saliendo de la preparatoria aquí, tuve que ir al colegio comunitario, entonces ahí es donde agarré los primeros pasos para entrar en la medicina, pero fue la cultura nuestra historia de latinos.

our allies need to know we are with them. the european union is considering a proposal for a 50 billion euros, $60 billion over the next four years of support for ukraine. if we fail to provide the assistance, that will call into question whether their efforts will be enough. we have already spent the money that has been appropriated. we spoke about the need for additional funding for military assistance that is needed. this may all end in a week if we walk away. >> i was impressed by president zelenskyy's commitment to root out corruption. can you tell us how important the supplemental appropriation is to further president zelenskyy's campaign to deal with corruption in this country? >> thank, mr. chairman. we have witnessed not only the resilience and courage that they vote against the kremlin, but they have not skipped a beat in the reform agenda. the report just came out this morning and both ukraine, moldova ed other countries received support. that's because our support to strengthening and deepening the institutions, f

this gets rise to a new allied strategy and an opportunity for most of the come on out to tech. the allied forces attacked the deliberately put into now with infantry, sparking a static battle that lasts for months. the, the ultimate officer, most effect tomorrow, is in command of an entire section of the front. the, one of his orders from the trenches goes down in history. no great models of the audio not to attack the you to die in the time. all those were right. all right. the old though his troops are as number i took, is able to home disposition until reinforcements arrived. fish, steve does. there's no doubt that he was decisively involved in repelling the invading troops at 2 significant positions. guitar each talk about the overall military strategy, you should cause developed by the german general lehman funds on those of i leave on the phone. so i'm those get size that the to this day, chucky celebrates added to it as the great hero of collectively. there are many monuments to his bravery across the country. the indelibly, the ottoman empire achieves one final victory.

and our price cap coalition allies can provide.but we do need to keep an eye on this shadow fleet, the growth of the shadow fleet and the reality that what was up until last year a fairly homogenized global crude oil market has now been bifurcated into two channels. >> thank you. if i could, because my time is running out, thank you. we have to keep the pressure on. my last question relates to the reconstruction effort. we had scott nathan, the head of dfc before this committee, not that long ago. as you know, we took opec and tried to beef it up into the dfc. but one of the things that apparently was left behind is opec allowed for much more easily available political risk insurance the way omb scores it than dfc, that was not the intention. the intention was for that to be more robust. are you aware of this issue? and can we fix it so that when it comes to getting more investment in ukraine under politically and other risky circumstances, we have all the tools available. >> thank you, senator for your question. and yes, i am awar

its from its allies, in particular washington?— from its allies, in particular washinuton?n? its allies do share its ob'ectives, washington? its allies do share its objectives, which _ washington? its allies do share its objectives, which is _ washington? its allies do share its objectives, which is to _ washington? its allies do share its objectives, which is to destroy - objectives, which is to destroy hamas once and for all, but we are detecting as the days and weeks go by increasing signs of unease. we heard from the national security adviser, jim sullivan, who was on television this morning and the united states,... with the spectacle of gun battles going on around hospitals. the rising toll and palestinian lives lost is something thatis palestinian lives lost is something that is deeply troubling to israel's allies. you will remember that weeks agojoe biden came here and said, don't act out of blind rage, don't make the mistakes we made after 9/11, and the longer this goes on, and the more we see scenes of destruction and death, the more those calls for restraint will

in the whole world, not only kazakhstan, kazakhstan of course, as i said, are the most of all alliess how it turned out, this is exactly how it turned out in our relations, including , first of all, of course, thanks to the line of the president of kazakhstan, this is how we will act, well, except for education, everything, everything, what is connected with the humanitarian sphere, creates... a very good basis for relationships between people, in order to maintain, not just mutual interest , mutual respect, people for each other, our peoples for each other, and all this has developed over the course of, not just the last years and decades, for centuries, and we, for our part, will do everything to ensure that this trend continues, thank you very much, thank you, these were shots from kazakhstan, where it continues.

we will support our close friend ally israel. on appropriations we want americans voices to be heard in washington. that's what the republicans here in the house are dedicated to and that's why we are restoring regular order. we are finishing up our appropriations process and we are doing this in the a way that's very transparent. we have accountability to be assured here. we have participation from all members of congress and we are moving quickly op that agenda. last week as mentioned as i was sworn in, yesterday we passed our bill on legislative grant and later this week we are going to bring up two more appropriations bills that's interior and environment and trespasses housing and urban development. so while each of these bills fund different parts of the government they all share up with thing in common, they are fiscally responsible and ensure that the government is funded in a responsible manner while find finding critical savings for american people. as conservatives we understand that savings are needed now more than ev
