‘The Squad’ urges Biden administration to negotiate ceasefire in Ukraine
Jpost ^ | 10/25/22 | Staff

Posted on 10/25/2022 2:02:36 AM PDT by Libloather

Members of “The Squad” – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley – were among 30 signatories on the letter urging Biden to calm tensions.

30 Democratic US Congressmembers – most notably the young progressives who have become colloquially known as “The Squad” – penned a letter to President Joe Biden’s administration on Monday in which they ask the administration to avoid direct military conflict and attempt to bring Russia and Ukraine to a ceasefire.

“Given the catastrophic possibilities of nuclear escalation and miscalculation, which only increase the longer this war continues, we agree with your goal of avoiding direct military conflict as an overriding national-security priority,” the letter read.

**SNIP**

“The alternative to diplomacy is a protracted war, with both its attendant certainties and catastrophic and unknowable risks,” the letter continues.

The signers of the letter also pointed to the food and commodity crises brought upon by the war as reasons to seek an end to the war. “Economists believe that if the situation in Ukraine is stabilized, some of the speculative concerns driving higher fuel costs will subside and likely lead to a drop in world oil prices.”

Members of "The Squad"

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, perhaps the most recognized member of “The Squad,” was criticized by protesters at a scheduled speech in October for “supporting” the war, as they accused her of not advocating hard enough for an end to the war.

Members of “The Squad” include Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley. The controversial new-age liberal congress members have become known as vocal critics of Israel – with several comments that have even been regarded as veering into antisemitic territory.

There have been proposals, even going back to stop this thing from starting. I am one of those critical of our irresponsible efforts in the matter for ignoring every last one of them. We ARE NATO and Ukraine is NOT a member of NATO. We dont have to check with anyone (nor do other members) on negotiating peace. We have gone from “I support Ukraine” to “Regime Change” in less than a year. Shows me that people in our government dont know WTF they are doing.

Yes, apparently watching too many libs fake news outlets and Liz Cheney interviews would lead them to think we are at war.

I should never have thought I would agree with and this set but give credit where it is due. These individuals are saying what much of Congress should have said. Donald Trump articulated the same view two weeks ago and, to my disgust, got a barrage of bellicose ranting from our resident barca lounger warriors who seem to pine for another ‘good war’ just like daddy or grand dad had. Kudos and to quote another distinguished soldier FM von Rundstadt; ‘Make peace you fools.’

(“Given the catastrophic possibilities of nuclear escalation and miscalculation, which only increase the longer this war continues”)

I thought the bartender was just busting a move about this and her having to go (out of office)?

Pressley is not white. But I thought the other squad member was Cori Bush.

We Americans who think it is proper to take a limp-wristed approach when faced with nuclear blackmail rather than a proven Ronald Reagan approach.

So your idiotic solution to ‘nuclear blackmail’ is to ratchet up the nuclear rhetoric and takes us into a nuclear war.

Awesome sauce.

Wrong. The solution is to stand steadfast against Bolshevik invaders and not to cop out with appeasement. Putin and his henchmen are the scum of the earth.

Yep. The people in our government are placeholders, puppets.

Whoever it is that at the top of the Left's management team is calling the shots. And if the idiot placeholders destroy the existing system in the meantime, all the better.

The Left's goal is a world-wide totalitarian government with it in charge. World chaos is helpful to the cause.

Scum of the Earth is relative to user given some consider the scum of the Earth to be located in a green screen room somewhere in a basement in Kyiv.......

Ukraine is not in NATO...yet. But that is something Russia is understandably afraid of.

Because of its geography and because of its political/economic interactions with the West, Ukraine is a natural lighting rod between the West and Russia. It is not surprising that a conflict arose there.

Any efforts to negotiate a ceasefire must involve the U.S.

“The bartender is always right.”

The bar waitress got shook up at the last town hall and was called out on poking the bear and inviting a thermo nuclear exchange. She called the interruptions “rude” while trying to drive her talking points of climate change, LBTQZZZ issues, CRT, and K-3 mandatory sexual/gender immersion programming.

I do but speak the truth. Russiophobia. Putin is frightened of his troops. He may arrange a photo op but let’s see him in Izium ... Oops that is now in Ukrainian hands.

After getting a BEATDOWN by her constituents, she is suddenly saddened by all the death and mayhem in Ukraine?!?

Nope, she is pandering for votes, which is to say...SHE HATES THIS WAR...UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION.

Then she will go right back to voting for every single penny she can get siphoned to Ukraine.

Isn’t it interesting how suddenly ‘they’ want the war over? I’m not buying it, particularly Biden as a ‘peacemaker’. It’s as laughable as 0bama getting the NPP 8 months into his first term and then creating the debacle in Libya which culminated in Benghazi.

This theater is setting us up for the next 9/11 and likely according to plan.

Ceasefire? They only want a ceasefire because of mid terms. Negotiating and end is the only way to go.
