SEN. CRUZ ISSUES STATEMENT AFTER CALL WITH UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY
Senator Ted Cruz ^ | Mar 5, 2022 | Ted Cruz

Posted on 03/05/2022 12:06:26 PM PST by conservative98

HOUSTON, Texas – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, put out the following statement after a call with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy today:

“The Ukrainian people and President Zelenskyy are showing the world what a free country looks like when fighting for its survival against totalitarian aggression, even at overwhelming odds. We have all been moved by their bravery and heroism.

“It is incumbent upon the United States to ensure that our Ukrainian allies have what they need to defend themselves, and that Putin does not have resources he needs to fund his war machine.

“President Zelenskyy told us his top priority is that the Ukrainians need to take back their skies, which are being used by Putin to wage war against cities and murder civilians. The United States and our allies should move immediately to provide them above all else with fighter jets, as well as with Stingers and other anti-aircraft assets. We must also continue supplying them with additional lethal aid, especially Javelins. Democrats in the Senate need to end their delays, and the Biden administration needs to cease withholding actionable intelligence from Kyiv.

“Meanwhile, the United States should immediately implement an oil and gas embargo on Russia. If the Biden administration won't do so on its own, Congress should mandate that they do so. As President Zelenskyy told us, boycotting Russian oil and gas would be the most potent sanction we can impose, by far, and it is also the only economic sanction that can tenably and quickly affect Russia's ability to continue financing its aggression.

“In the coming days Congress will focus on aid to Ukraine. We should consider a standalone Ukraine military aid package to get them the assistance they need as quickly as possible. Ukraine, its people, and its leaders will not survive if we settle for half-measures and delay.”

“If a Ukranian Air Force Lieutenant in Nevada pushes a button launching a missile into Russia, is it not a Ukrainian defensive action?”

If it is, then can a Russian hypersonic missile hit that office in Nevada and say he was attacking Ukrainian forces, not the USA?

Well... NATO... Yes.

But it’s only a matter of time at this point anyway due to the fact that the murderous KGB guy is putting the Soviet Union back together.

I heard on the Mark Levin show that the pilots in Ukraine are trained to fly Russian planes.

Poland was going to send their Russian aircraft to Ukraine but Biden or Antony Blinken intervened and stopped it.

The plan is to fly our American planes to Poland & other Eastern European nations to enable them to send their Russian-made planes to Ukraine whose pilots are trained to fly Russian aircraft.

I think so.

However there must be a working missile capable of the task and one is inadequate

“Moron. Ukraine is a bastion of Soros and DC and democrat corruption. It has a healthy helping of nazism and sex trafficking as well. It is a money laundering ATM for Biden and the democrats. The darling of the globalists.

Ted is a simpleton.”

the antichrist that comes from the revived roman empire needs an army to do what is prophesied here, nato is not united enough to be that army yet.

this may be an impetus for the creation of that army, also, knowing putin is hearing many calls from the chechyans, and them being muslim, that they want to invade for him, and knowing that in the end of the tribulation the armies from gog and magog meschech and tubal all come from muslim areas now, and ukraine is geographically part of all the nations called out in Ezekiel...

we may be seeing the final scenes

Dan 11:36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
Dan 11:37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
Dan 11:38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. r
Dan 11:39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge [and] increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain. s
Dan 11:40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
Dan 11:41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many [countries] shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, [even] Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. t
Dan 11:42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. u
Dan 11:43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians [shall be] at his steps.
Dan 11:44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.
Dan 11:45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

Jn 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
Jn 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Jn 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Jn 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Jn 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Jn 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Jn 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

It’s all a big, deadly, staged, play I’m afraid. This time the curtain is just going up.

We can all see it… The most dangerous thing imaginable is already here… A moral panic where everyone tries to prove their anti-Putin purity through more and more extremism until America is once again killing hundreds of thousands of civilians in a war we’re eventually going to lose anyway. And it’s all being ginned up by a D.C. War Machine that can never get rich enough and a corporate media that put ratings above human life.

We cannot fall for this.

Wouldn’t it be nice if our elected officials were as concerned about the people who elected them? My dad sent me a photo today, diesel where he lives in east Texas is $4.69 per gallon. It was $2.88 when I was back there over Christmas. This is going to cause a lot of pain, especially for lower income and fixed income people, and yet Biden has his heels dug in against producing oil and gas. I I don’t disparage Cruz for supporting Ukraine, but who is fighting for us? But I am sure they look at the pain as a campaign issue to help them win in November.
