Stay tuned about a plan to go after the seized assets more aggressively. Stay tuned for a plan where America will begin to sell to our European allies tremendous amounts of weapons that can benefit Ukraine. Putin has calculated that we would get tired, and Europe would get weary. He made a huge mistake. NATO is bigger and stronger, and we're more committed to ever to make sure he does not take Ukraine by force. So, Congress is on the verge of passing the most consequential sanction package in the history of the- of the country. It will give President Trump tools he doesn't have today, a literal sledgehammer. And the big offenders here is China, India, and Brazil. India buys oil from Russia cheap and resells it. That's despicable. I've talked to President Trump. He said last week, it's time to move. He's tried to entice Putin to the table. But my goal is to end this war, and the only way you're going to end this war is to get people who prop up Putin make them choose between the American economy and helping Putin. And you can only have one negotiator, and that's going to be President Trump, with maximum flexibility to end this war. China, India, and Brazil, you're about to get hurt big time if you keep helping Putin.

Fair to say Blumenthal is out of the closet.

I didn’t vote for Lindsey Graham to run foreign policy.
I’ll second that.
Did seeing Lindsey arouse your doink?
