The new proposal underscores the Republican Party's "thirst for cruel budget cuts," said Democratic Rep. Brendan Boyle.
House Republicans unveiled a budget blueprint proposing trillions in spending cuts over 10 years, targeting steep reductions to Medicaid and food assistance programs. The plan seeks $2 trillion in Medicaid cuts and $800 billion from SNAP. It also calls for establishing a commission to propose changes to Social Security and Medicare. Democrats criticized the proposal as pushing “cruel cuts” that will hurt access to healthcare and raise costs for many. If enacted, the budget would slash nearly $5 trillion from discretionary spending and $9 trillion from mandatory programs over a decade. However, the proposal is unlikely to become law given Democratic control of the Senate. The resolution indicates Republicans remain committed to large cuts across many public services and low-income programs.
I have no clue what point you’re trying to make. Russia isn’t at war with Africa. Russia is at war with Ukraine. It’s about 3 times larger than Ukraine.
Yet, you talk about Africa as if it’s relevant or even a coherent statement.

Compare Russia to Africa and it’s small. One thing being larger doesn’t make another thing small, just smaller
