Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House of Representatives, spoke with Republican senators on Wednesday, saying that the House will prepare its draft to support Ukraine, but in a significantly different form than the one already approved by the Senate.

Senator Kevin Cramer also said that Mike Johnson clearly expressed his intention to help Ukraine.

“He was pretty clear about it,”

Sounds positive.

    Ah, I misunderstood the term then. Cheers.

    Is it correct to say that all US Christian Nationalists want a theocracy and would frame laws based solely on what’s in the bible? I’d expect Johnson is almost certainly one of those, but I assumed there were more moderate ones who are guided by religion wouldn’t want to go full Christian Sharia. edit: Like would Biden be considered a Christian Nationalist?

    I’m very fond of the US actually, having been there a decent number of times, but I haven’t met any of the proper loonies you see in the press as yet.

      It’s a growing movement, led, as best as I can tell, by television pastors. I don’t know if its fair to paint them all that way, there are probably people that would refer to themselves as a Christian Nationalist that don’t have a hardline interpretation of the words, and would not try to implement biblical law.

      The leaders of the movement routinely call for it though.

      A useful litmus test is do they want to ban the practice of Islam and ban existing Muslims from entering the country, or not?
