Here is what he said.
“we can’t let Ukraine
fall because if it does then there’s a
significant likelihood that America will
have to get into the conflict not simply
with our money but with our service
women and our servicemen WE CAN EITHER STOP RUSSIA IN UKRAINE BY CONTINUING OUR MILITARY AND ECONOMIC SUPPORT OR WE CAN FACE A CHALLENGING SITUATION WHERE VLADIMIR PUTIN AND RUSSIA ARE ABLE TO OVERUN UKRAINE AND THEN THREATEN NATO ALLIES”
(snip)
“are we to believe
that in the face of this kind of
consistent aggression that he’s only
going to stop in Ukraine of course not
let’s not believe his words let’s
believe his deeds and his deeds
suggests that he wants to recreate the
Soviet Union and that means threatening
NATO allies which as a logical
consequence will bring American troops
in to the
fight”
Here is that portion of the transcript.
“we can’t let Ukraine
fall because if it does then there’s a
significant likelihood that America will
have to get into the conflict not simply
with our money but with our service
women and our servicemen
we can either stop Russia in Ukraine by continuing our
military and economic support or we can
face a challenging situation where
Vladimir Putin and Russia are able to
overrun Ukraine and then threaten NATO
allies no doubt that that’s Putin’s goal
we have no doubt that if Vladimir Putin
is successful in Ukraine he won’t stop
Vladimir Putin went into Georgia but
said it was only about Georgia
but he didn’t stop in Georgia then he
went into Crimea but then it turns out
that it wasn’t only about Crimea because
he invaded the
entirety of Ukraine are we to believe
that in the face of this kind of
consistent aggression that he’s only
going to stop in Ukraine of course not
let’s not believe his words let’s
believe his deeds and his deeds
suggests that he wants to recreate the
Soviet Union and that means threatening
NATO allies which as a logical
consequence will bring American troops
in to the
fight”
