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.”
We are being governed by idiots.
He’s a thug, no doubt. But I don’t think he outdoes either W or Barry for having started international conflicts and killing military—or civilians.
And all of them were in their national intel agencies.
Ted is dead to me so long as a single J6 patriot rots in a dc jail.
Sounds like the world isn’t willing to wait for depopolulation via vaccine. The lunatics in charge probably think a few well placed nuke hits along with mass casualties from conventional war is the ticket.
How long until these pigs are calling for boots on the ground?
I have a hunch France is going to drag us into this.
“What’s weird is that your very statement is WHY Zelensky was elected”
True. And he is not able to change that place any more than Trump could root it out in DC. Zelensky also had no real ability to keep the nazis under control. Any policy he implemented had to placate them lest they return to Kiev for another coup.
Lot’s of nice people there, but they have a problem.
“oil and gas embargo on Russia”
I suppose we all shoot ourselves in the knees as further virtue signaling.
This is why the Republicans are called “the stupid party”.
“It is incumbent upon the United States to ensure that our Ukrainian allies have what they need to defend themselves”
NAM.
Seducing spirits. Never any revelation.
Now that the covy cover is off.
This is why the Republicans are called “the stupid party”.
************
Someone has to fill the slots in “the stupid party”.
Ted wants in on Brandon McRomneyosi’s 10%.
Lying Ted.
NAM.
💲 The lust of it.
Dear Ted,
Having followed Ukraine since CIA/NED funded Maiden, having watched the US which is not a party to Minsk interfere, having watched the rise of Neo Nazism in Ukraine, the forbidding of the Russian language, and the killing of over 10,000 people in Donbas and Luhansk for the crime of being ethnic Russians, I am not impressed by the Ukrainian Government.
Much like my own Government, which ignores the will of the people while boosting their own wealth via the interests of corporations such as the weapons industry, pharmaceutical industry, banking, as well as endorsing the continued criminalization and spying on its own citizens. The list goes on and on.
Perhaps you should return to that nice resort in Mexico that you ran off to while Texans were literally freezing to death. You are such a cheerleader for Ukraine. It might have been nice to have seen you cheerlead Texans that way just over a year ago.
Maybe you can deliver soccer balls and Teddy Bears on the Border Crossing from Ukraine to Poland. I guess not since those people are actual refugees, unlike the illegals crossing our Southern Border.
And lest I forget- you blaming antifa violence against Citizens in Chicago who went to hear a Presidential Candidate speak.
So, please, don’t tell me I want the US involved in providing more weapons to Ukraine costing billions because of some insane Dominionist Wish to bring about Armageddon or a Russian Regime Change Fantasy.
I have no doubt when a hypersonic missile hits 40 miles from me, you will be in some Underground Safe Space or at the resort in Mexico you fled to last year.
I see Ted Cruz is still as clueless as ever.
Moving that finger a little closer to the red button.
Totally agree. But Fox News reported last week they heard that the Biden administration not only stopped the pipeline but were actually pulling out the pipes.
Not surprising.
But, then again....it is FauxNews....
Yes keep it here until we have all we need
Then we can export again
Biden etc Is destroying our country
LOL....we need a meme, for that!
Spot on, to the rest of your post, sock.
