Sunday on FNC’s “Fox News Live,” Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) emphasized the importance of doing everything possible to “allow the Ukrainians freedom and democracy.”
Ernst called Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aggression “absolutely unacceptable.” She added that the United States needs to do more to provide lethal aid to the Ukrainians,” including cutting off Russia’s energy sources.
“[T]his is heartbreaking, Bret,” Ernst said in response to Putin ordering his country’s nuclear forces to be on high alert. “And as I’ve asked point to many viewers before, I spent some time in Ukraine while it was part of the Soviet Union in 1989. And what I learned from the Ukrainians at that point was that they wanted to be free; that remains true today. Ukrainians want to be free.”
“And what we see, this aggression shown by Russia, by Vladimir Putin — it is absolutely unacceptable, and it should be unacceptable across the world stage,” she continued. “We have to do more to provide lethal aid to the Ukrainians. We need to cut off Russian energy sources, we need to become energy independent, and we need to make sure we are doing absolutely everything we can to allow the Ukrainians freedom and democracy.”

What retarded thing for a US Senator to say.
Russia EXPORTS energy.
Ugh Russia sells energy
Better yet we should stop buying a half million barrels a day and pump our own. Oh yeah, AirheadOCommie won’t let us.
I think they have enough energy resources to last them quite some time, Joni - but thanks for playing.
Sounding like a broken record, but they would have already been “cut off” in effect if we had not given up massive amounts of market share to them under Biden’s policies. And he continues to do it to this very day - just announced the other more halting of domestic energy production. Literally an insane policy.
I’m sure they do, as does the US.
But the US imports a lot of energy too.
Not sure about Russia.
Commodities are fungible, mostly.
I hear tell that we take in(import) about 20% of our oil from Russia. Has that ceased? Just think only about 14-15 months ago we were exporting the stuff........ And mean tweets too.
Joey B:
Ukraine needed help, he sent them Junkie Hunter Biden.
Angela Merkel needed help, he sent her a Russian Pipeline.
The Greenies needed help, he killed the U.S. Gas Pipeline
The Sick needed help, he sent them Anthony Fauci and Andrew Cuomo
The Black Community needed help, he sent them free Crack Pipes.
The Coal Miners needed help, he sent them ‘How to Code for Dummies.’
Putin needed help and he sent them the Nord Stream Pipeline
.
Our politicians on both sides are an unintelligent bunch. But they can be bought and given whatever thoughts the buyer cares to give them.
Yeah, like cutting off America’s. Working for us right?
Why do only the idiots get selected to be congresscritters ?
Another useless Bush League Republican that couldn’t be bothered to secure the US border that got re-elected with Trump’s endorsement.
What retarded thing for a US Senator to say.
Russia EXPORTS energy.
/\
She wants is to quit buying Russia energy, to live in the cold quiet dirt eating bugs .
No thanks.
How about
DRILL BABY Drill
instead !
why doesn’t she, instead, fight like hell for the US to produce it’s own oil?? she’s a fraud like so many others.
‘Splains EVERYTHING!!
Why are our congress-critters such imbeciles??
Why do we allow imbeciles to govern us??
Trump had us energy independent in a few short years.
The Left worships at the Church of Latter Day Climate Change.
When we take the House in November, we need to cut the ability of Brandon to execute his absurd Green Energy debacle.
Biden is STILL BUYING Russian oil.
U.S. politicians have ZERO SAY about freedom and democracy with the current state of our country. We have Democrats actively supporting foreign invaders, hosting “sanctuary cities”, and issuing illegal diktats for forced injections in violation of the Nuremberg Code.
