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.”

Sorry, I meant Ethanol SUBSIDIES not production.
It’s not about our pockets but it is certainly about THEIR pockets.
Seems to me, when the Soviet Union folded that in exchange for Russian nukes Ukrainian independence was declared and guaranteed by the US and Russia. Seems like Russia is faltering despite this guys analysis. Chechen troops were brought in? Why? The Ukrainians bloodied their nose and killed their commander. The Wagner group has been brought in. There is evidence of very poor planning. I think some of his analysis is correct.
I totally agree with that.
Somebody is paying Joni to say that and isn’t us taxpayers.
Then stop buying it. Corporations buy the Russian oil not the government.
All of these financial bullets are hitting good Russian people who are not complicit in Putin’s idiotic invasion anymore than good Americans are complicit in Biden’s idiotic actions.
Better yet, Joni, before we cut off the Russian Energy, why don’t you talk to your friend Joe Biden and get the XL pipeline going again.
I got it wrong.
Apparently she meant “Stop buying Russian Energy.”
Which is still a silly idea until we’re energy independent again (more nukes, more drilling, more pipelines), but makes more sense.
Because honest folk have instinctual disgust towards anything Modern day fedzilla
She’s a Republican?
A stalwart defender of Personal Liberty?
Oddly enough it’s easy to buy non-alcoholic gasoline in I-Owe-Wah.
Casey’s....
She is a Bush League Republican, stalwart defender of the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA)
So now wars are fought by cancellation?
It’s good to be the official canceler.
Yeah, of course she is. Not as bad as some obviously.
Yup, Russia is the energy source!
” We need to cut off Russian energy sources, we need to become energy independent,”
Joni, you forgot the word AGAIN.
You admit you were wrong.
I admire that.
OBiden will not admit he was wrong.
President OBiden, there is an iceberg.
This from one of our 100 brain trust leaders in the Senate.
OH like we did to OUR Oil supply line here?-)
Laugh, Cry who the hell knows what to do or think anymore!-)
