Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures earlier today.
During their discussion Senator Cotton argued that the US Congress had to give $40 billion to Ukraine in military aid or China will attack Taiwan. This was after they were discussing the record inflation rate in the US today.
Tom Cotton: It’s important that we support the Ukrainians as they defend themselves against this war of aggression by Vladimir Putin. So, first off I do understand the reservations some people had about the legislation. And there was some excessive or unnecessary measures. But a lot of that money went to support our own military and our own troops to replenish the stockpiles of our weapons that those troops need to defend themselves and protect our country. And not just support our allies in Europe but in the Western Pacific, Taiwan in particular. Second, I think it is important that we help the Ukrainians fight their own war. This is much like what Ronald Reagan did in Afghanistan… And finally, I think our main adversary Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party is watching very carefully what is happening in Europe. If they see the United States and our allies falter in our resolve to support Ukraine in defending itself against an invasion by Russia, then I think Xi Jinping would believe that there is no way we would come to the aid of Taiwan.

“....And there was some excessive or unnecessary measures....”
There were a lot. Cotton shoulda cut them out if he is series about running for POTUS.
I suspect that Taiwan would have different ideas about where that money should go, if we’re really just trying to protect them from China.
The warmongering Military Industrial Complex is hungry. Must be fed.
He always was the Big Business interests are always first and foremost in the minds of an Arkansas politician.
Republican Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson the Never Trumper and favorite of the Drive-By Media comes to mind for starters.
Cotton has an R next to his name and many years ago Bill Clinton with a D next to his name was the Governor of Arkansas with Don Tyson of Tyson Foods as his buddy.
And who sat on the board of Walmart with the late Mr. Sam Walton himself none other than Hillary Rodham Clinton.

A: Purple. Because ice cream has no bones.
the logic sounds stupid, but coming from a RINO, it doesnt surprise me.
It’s just an excuse for the deep state RINOS to pad their Ukraine bank accounts.
That’s a shame. I used to like him. But he’s just another tool of the globohomo deep state MIC.
"I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."
The Uniparty will go for any excuse they can to *&^% over the American people with no win wars.
My question is Senator Tom Cotton really so ignorant or is he in on the madness controlling the world now. And a huge portion of the money is going to be kicked back to dark actors including members of congress, and the democrat party. I bet Soros even gets a share.
Controlled opposition. I wonder what farm animal they have video of him romancing.
No! I thought this guy had more sense. Disappointing but good to see him out himself.
GOP Senators are the absolute worst people in the entire country. And yet......”we gotta keep that seat Red”.
.
The Money hole.
Like China won’t know we are broke?
The Dems said this is just the beginning.
So now the United States bribes other countries?
To me, THIS is actually more egregious than just blowing money at Ukraine; Ukraine's war (and our support to it) has ALREADY REDUCED our capacity to fight future conflicts (e.g., China over Taiwan). If we are to believe this from Cotton, then I am further steeled against meddling in Ukraine, period.
He showed his true colors on January 6th, 2021.
