I'm so old I remember when you couldn't call yourself a Republican unless you hated Russia and did everything possible to curb its aggression.

8. So, in other words, the military contractors in his state got pissed off.

Which I suspect is the case for all the other GOPers who voted for the package. They are the ones who will be reaping big financial benefits from producing all that ammunition and military hardware.
