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.

“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.

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

So how much have we depleted our munitions funding the pecker playing pianist?
Putin has requested going to the table numerous times.
We will walk this back and so will Russia.
Of course we are at war using the Ukraine as a proxy.

Truth is not relative. It is absolute. You, a criminal defender of a murderous pedophile, also promote the criminal invasion of Ukraine. How can you defend the destruction that the 22-year dictator has brought down on both Russia and Ukraine? How can you defend his criminal invasion of the Republic of Georgia?
Your “truth” is not my “truth”
Therefore, again, it’s relative to user.
I know, which i am assuming is why they brought her into the squad to have their “more diversity” quota filled
I could think of a lot worse scums of the earth than Russians on God’s green earth. Should we rubbleize them too?
F it lets just drop nukes on all scummy places. Probably want to save one for Ukraine and their filth also. China. Africa. Slum lords in Brazil. Glass em all.
You’re an idiot.
How can Conservatism, actually, succeed in the Bluest Of Blue political areas of the U.S., the U.S. territories, and throughout the entire world? Worldwide Conservatives, together, need to create their own version of an entity that’s what the U.N. should be, IMHO, but without the incompetences and without the corruption! It would help to bring Conservatism to places that haven’t, even, experienced it, yet.
The US ran a Color Revolution to get our people in the Ukraine government. I guess so that the families of the Bidens, Kerrys, and Romneys could get no show jobs there making millions with their corrupt government. The reason the conflict arose is because Russia did not want NATO troops on its border and asked specifically for that, of which deep state ignored. I guess the pay checks coming from Burisma were just too fat. But at that time, this could have been avoided. I place that on the the deep state department.
Yeah, it’s strange and it’s on rare issues but I think this shows that we are approaching a point where the old middle of the road pro-government school of thought is about to be pushed into the trash heap of history
They want a guy who has no idea who Dr. Biden is, gets lost on stage and can’t finish a sentence to “negotiate a ceasefire in Ukraine”?
The squad of ignorant women is pretending to be relevant
It is you appeasers who bring on aggressors. You have no argument. I never said Russians were scum. I said quite accurately that Putin is scum. The Russians are his victims. You misrepresented what I said and then resorted to name-calling. That does not speak well for rural Michigan.
And shows his good will by continuing to bomb them
Even the US halted their bombing of Japan when the Japanese finally agreed to surrender
The ukes wont agree to surrender so my guess is this war continues
Here’s a reasonable solution. Russia can have all the Ukraine real estate they occupy as of today and we get every single nuclear weapon they have including all lauch assets and the industrial assets to make more.
If we surrender to RUSSIA now, we will ease the dangers of nuclear escalation.
What’s this “we” Horses**?
