SENATOR MANCHIN TRAVELS TO UKRAINE, CALLS FOR ‘DEFEAT OF PUTIN’
Libertarian Institute ^ | 4/12/23

Posted on 04/15/2023 5:00:00 AM PDT by Wilderness Conservative

A group of three influential senators traveled to Kiev and met with President Volodymyr Zelensky. Accompanied by country music singer Brad Paisley, the lawmakers called for the defeat of Russian President Vladimir Putin and pledged more weapons for Ukraine.

The three senators, Joe Manchin (D-WV), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), met with Zelensky on Wednesday. In a press release from his office, Manchin called for Putin to be defeated without providing a clear meaning of what that entails. “After this visit, I am even more convinced that defeating Vladimir Putin and ending his ruthless war against the Ukrainian people must remain our top priority,” he said.

Senator Murkowski claimed the visit inspired her to vote to send more military aid to Ukraine. The senator explained, “As I return home, I’m more thankful than ever for the blessings of our American democracy, and more committed than ever to ensuring that Congress provides the assistance that Ukraine needs.”

In his statement, Kelly echoed both of his colleagues. “For the sake of democracy, freedom, and our vital national security interests, Putin must lose this war,” he said. “We must do more, and when I return to the Senate, I’ll continue working with my colleagues and our military leaders to get Ukraine the weapons and support they need to win.”

Zelensky asked the American lawmakers to remove restrictions on the weapons it supplies, a statement from his office said. The Ukrainian president has been pressing NATO countries to provide Kiev with Western-made warplanes. So far, President Joe Biden has resisted calls to send F-16s to Ukraine.

Denmark is attempting to build a coalition that aims to have multiple counties transfer fighter jets to Ukraine. Washington and London have started to train Ukrainian pilots on Western warplanes.

Zelensky, Murkowski and Kelly framed the conflict in Ukraine as a war for democracy. However, since the Russian invasion, Zelensky has nationalized the media and outlawed his opposition. Additionally, Kiev is waging a culture war against a branch of Orthodox Christians it believes is too close to Moscow.

They must be traveling over there to get their bags of money that’s been laundered for them. No more paper or digital paper trails.

Brian Kilmeade usually travels with Manchin. He’s found a comfortable spot, attached firmly to his azz.

Manchin is a LIAR and IDIOT........PERIOD!! STOP believing what our lying media and government are telling you....IT IS ALL A LIE!!!

“Ukraine is being LIBERATED by Russia, not attacked. The are removing the Khazarian mafia, the US biological weapons labs, and the Biden/Obama money laundering operations. My organizations speaks to dozens of people currently living in Ukraine and they are so happy that liberation has finally come. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE MEDIA....ALL STORIES ARE LIES. The enemy is in the gates, not in Russia. CLUE IN”

Tell us that you’re a crooked, compromised POS without telling us you’re a crooked, compromised POS.

Brad Paisley.....shame on you. Hope you join Dylan Mulvaney on his tour down the toilet. Then you can actually ask him if he’s “still a guy.”

Actually, that post had links to articles from different sources.

Your post shouted liberal slurs with a Canadian Marxism accent.

Manchin is a scum traitor that only enriches himself. Something is wrong with the people of WV to continually buy his snake oil.

I’d like to see Zelensky ground up and put in one of W.Va’s million potholes along with his hoard of our cash.
