Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Thursday defended the continued aid that the United States is providing to Ukraine to defend itself against Russia, saying that as a country “we care about human life.”
Romney said in a video post on his Twitter account that the U.S. support for Ukraine is both the “right thing” to do and necessary for U.S. national security interests.
“I begin, of course, with just the humanitarian reality, which is we care about human life and about the suffering that’s going on in Ukraine,” he said. “We’re just appalled by the fact that Russia has invaded a peaceful, sovereign nation next door.”
Romney said the U.S. has more prosperity when the world is more peaceful, and conflict makes the U.S. “less well off.”
He said history has shown that when one country sees that it can invade another country without any consequence or reaction from others, that type of mentality continues spreading throughout the world and eventually involves the U.S. getting attacked.
“That’s one of the lessons of history, which is that violence in the world spreads, and it ultimately comes to our own shores,” he said.
Romney said Russia is a “geopolitical adversary,” and the U.S. is helping to deplete the Russian military through its aid to Ukraine. He said Russia is China’s only “real” ally, so weakening Russia is also an effective way to weaken China.
He said the spending given to Ukraine is “of the same manner” of the spending for national defense. He said the U.S. spends about $750 billion on national defense, and the $20 billion to $40 billion being spent on Ukraine is “basically in the same category.”
“It is defending American interests, America’s national security against adversaries that would threaten us,” he said.

STFU, father of RomneyCare.
If Zelensky cared about human life he’d sit down at the peace talks table so the 6.6 million Ukranian refugees spread across Europe can return home
A relative of Romney’s (possibly his niece) conducted ‘business’ in the Ukraine along with Brandon, Hunter Biden, Pelosi’s son, Schumer’s son etc. Romney and all the others are trying to protect their dirty dealings and a key source of money laundering and DNC election funds.
Glad that I don’t support Romney, but then again, I was never a NeverTrumper.
“LOL! Ukraine was a mostly peaceful country. Ask the Russian speaking population in eastern Ukraine.”
Don’t say that, their bots here will get mad at you.
“LOL! Ukraine was a mostly peaceful country. Ask the Russian speaking population in eastern Ukraine.”
And don’t forget their party line: Ukraine, including its government, was (and is) loaded up with GOOD Nazis*, not the ‘bad’ Nazis of WW2.
*’good Nazis’ because Ukraine’s Nazis are willing to do the dirty work of the Neocons when it comes to Russian speakers living there.
The only thing he, and the rest of the DS "care" about, is lining their own pockets. SMH
Your post 23 👀
Ukrainian doesn't resemble a democracy or free country.
I can't believe I had to vote for these two losers.
coming from a despicable human
“They are just appalled by.......”.
But they are not appalled by the invasion occurring on our Southern and now Northern border? They don’t care about American human lives or the lives of the people dying, being trafficked on said Southern border. Romney is a disgrace and needs to be removed from office as he is violating his oath of office.
It’s a good comment but is there really a need to insult other posters to make that point?
It was one, maybe two, of Romney’s sons.
How much MONEY is Pierre Delecto getting for his War Mongering??
“ we care about human life.”
Sure Mittens, we all do which is why we don’t want to see millions of human lives floating around in a Russian thermonuclear cloud.
How much aid has mcromney sent to hurricane ravaged Florida?
