It easily could have.
Contrary to what was happening in the earlier months of the war, Ukraine of late-2022 was not retreating and at risk of collapse from one more Russian push. Prior aid (HIMARS a noteworthy one) Ukrainian competency in operations (to everyone's surprise), and winter had stabilized the frontline (pushed it into formerly Russian-occupied areas in notable arenas even--'momentum' was very much not on the Russian side).
There was not an existential crisis for Ukraine hanging over US aid being delayed for a few months (esp. with it flowing in from the rest of Europe). Plus, Ukrainian existential crises are not American existential crises. Our proxy not as efficiently killing Rooskies as they might for a few months is not the end of the world (let's be honest, our proxy collapsing entirely and miring the Russians in an occupation of a hostile country is not even an undesirable end-goal--even if one nobody in politics wants to say because it'd look bad).
Further stuff on that belongs in the right thread.
Anyhow, latest bit is Gaetz trolling/theatrics of nominating Trump for the position, though the rest of the anti-McCarthy folks stuck with Donalds.
