A coalition of GOP lawmakers has urged the Biden administration to stop sending “unrestrained” aid and weapons to Ukraine amid its ongoing war with neighboring Russia.
“We write to express concern regarding the U.S. response to Ukraine. Over a year ago, Russia launched an invasion that has upended decades of peace in Europe,” the lawmakers wrote in their letter to Biden on Thursday. “We are deeply concerned that the trajectory of U.S. aid to the Ukrainian war effort threatens further escalation and lacks much-needed strategic clarity.”
The lawmakers noted in their letter the risks associated with supplying Ukraine with necessary aid and weapons, saying how the country’s continued contribution could escalate the conflict between the two countries and create a proxy war with Russia.
“The current strategy of sanctions and drawn-out aid will only prolong the conflict, leading to escalation and more violence,” the lawmakers wrote in their letter, adding how the country needs to focus on its own military and economic resources “rather than allocating substantial resources to a foreign conflict.”
The lawmakers also said that Biden should prioritize more diplomatic efforts to advocate for a peace agreement between the two countries.
The letter was signed by 19 Republican lawmakers, including Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah.), Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH.), Sen. Rand Paul (R-K.Y.), and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.).

I honestly didn't know I posesses this heroic level of sarcasm. That was difficult to actually complete. I need a shower...
Wow! Signed by almost 3% of all members of Congress!
NOTE to these lawmakers: You don't win a war by de-escalating!
Russia can de-escalate the war at any time, simply by withdrawing.
Regards,
Unrestrained? Biden is siphoning off most of it for domestic projects. Ukraine gets whatever scraps are left over.
.
Pence just said on a couple shows - he wants unrestrained Aid to not be questioned. Spigot open, don’t ask.
.
Like Bagram base in Afghanistan, ALL equipment impounded by Russia?
That’d be a reasonable end to Biden’s attack on the USA!
Don’t “urge” the out of control maggot. TELL HIM!
The majority of the GOP is on-board with this war, grifting their own cut of the slush fund.
“lacks much-needed strategic clarity.”
The strategy is to do anything to stop Putin from taking over the Deep State playground.
The GOP now controls the nation’s “purse strings”.
So where does comrade Biden get the billions of dollars he keeps handing out to the world if the expenditure is not approved by Congress?
You don’t win a war by de-escalating!

We’re at war with Russia? I know declarations of war are so passe’, but I don’t even recall an authorization to use force.
We’re at war with Russia?
Thanks for taking the bait, and revealing how poor your reading comprehension is (or, alternatively, how malicious your intent is).
I never said we (the West) were at war with Russia.
As is obvious to anyone with eyes to see, the free countries of the West are coming to the aid of a beleaguered European nation which was viciously attacked by a neo-imperialist power under the rule of a near-absolute despot.

The republicans can start impeaching him and jailing the Biden crime family.
Our aid is quite limited. PRotesting against a delusion is a sign of mental disease or peddling lies.
