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.”
Bingo. These charlatans pretend we need to protect the Ukrainian border when they actively aid those who invade ours.
History repeating. We never learn, so we never change.
and you can have your Commie killers.
Who is killing commies?
You can have them ALL.
We have enough to deal with, right here.
You can have your neocon warhawks, though.
Is that you, Linda?
He should ask Soros for a few billion. After all it was Soros who got him elected.
For the record, I’m not on either side. I do feel bad for the people stuck in between the elitists that are playing a real life game of “Risk”.
With our southern border open to all comers, he [Ted Cruz] remains silent.

BTTT!

Mike Lee, the "Gold Standard", is sending his "thoughts and prayers" to Ukraine. I didn't hear anything about starting WWIII or assassination talk. That's how you do it. FYI.
Indeed!
Ted Talks
Wish Ted would listen. Stay out of the spat.
A new problem for the NWO to save us from. Covid was getting stale.
The Ukraine people are between the NWO and the Russians. I feel for them.
I’m good with sending thoughts and prayers!!
China has all that.
You’re probably right on!
Not a bad idea.
Remove the regulations that keep the oil industry from increasing production with one caveat.
It all stays in the USA. Violators will be imprisoned.
This is what happens when it's a crime syndicate posing as a country. The syndicate bugs out and the puppet president is left with the bag.
Let Zelensky get his money from Burisma, Jao Bai-din, Hunter Biden, Paul Pelosi, John Kerry Jr., Christopher Heinz (Kerry), and Alex Vindman.
Ukrainian puppet Alex Vindman, as a U.S. military officer, took part in an attempted coup of a U.S. President - Trump. Let Zelensky ask Vindman's handlers for money.
I’m not moved by any such thing, Ted.
Everything I ever needed to learn about “totalitarian aggression” was on display right here in the United States of America over the last two years. And he can right across our northern border to his home country to see how it played out just in the last few weeks.
Let's also remember that we have a government that was willing to purge its military ranks of people who refused to take an experimental "vaccine" that doesn't work and has unknown long-term health effects. Anyone who thinks this same government is capable of deploying and using its military forces and assets wisely is 'effing retarded.
Thank you! Apparently the Russian gas shipments have been shut off. F*** Joe Biden. He’s not done yet….
Just imagine, we got to energy independence under the former president.
Cruz could KMA before, and now he can SMD.
Worry first about our own borders, along with the hard working people who pay your salary Ted, as well as Democrats who are turning our Republic into a 3rd world commie shithole, before you go sending our tax dollars overseas to support a country that isn’t of any national interest to us. F*ck Ukraine, and f*ck Russia. F*ck South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Middle East too. President George Washington, in his farewell address to the country, said to steer clear of permanent, entangling alliances with ANY portion of the foreign world. Why can’t politicians ever understand that concept? Because they’re making too much money from the alliances and wars they get us involved in, within other nations. I’d like to know where Ted invests his tax payer money.
“Didn’t Putin today say that such an action would be an act of war?”
Putin also said the sanctions were an act of war. He isn’t going to initiate a conflict with a peer or superior opponent. Thugs like him only attack down.
“How does any rational or caring human being watch us lose a 20-year war against cave-dwelling barbarians, and not just lose that war, but lose it in the most humiliating fashion imaginable, and less than a year later already have a war-boner for Ukraine?” — John Nolte
