Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) said Sunday that forcing Ukraine to agree to a resource deal with the U.S. in exchange for the possibility of support against Russia is akin to “victim extortion.”
The moderate Republican said Russian President Vladimir Putin, who launched the invasion of Ukraine three years ago, should be the one forced to pay.
“Putin, and Putin alone, should bear the economic costs of Putin’s illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine,” Fitzpatrick said in a post on the social platform X.
“To force Ukraine to pay these costs is the epitome of victim-blaming and victim extortion.”

He forgot to say “unprovoked”. No USAID FOR HIM!!
I guess this Rino doesn’t understand that Biden supposedly gave the support as a grant (according to Zelensky) whill European support is to be paid back. With people like this in the Republican party dwell on don’t need democrats.
The worst part is that it ties us to that hopelessly corrupt neonazi government forever.
DC is absolutely rife with corruption and Trump is trying to address that. Tying a hopefully recovering DC to Ukraine is like tying a recovering alcoholic with a hard core drunk and expecting him to stay sober.
Trump is SMOKING THEM OUT!!!
So be it.
What is giving billions of dollars that the recipient can’t account for called, smart guy?
Better to just see the 500 billion we gave them as a sunk cost and walk away. The resource deal is nothing more than a SOP to Blackrock and our bankers.
But it’s horrific to put America in a partnership with Ukraine.
The sHill is trying to craft a New Narrative.
“Full Scale Invasion!!”
“Putin, and Putin alone, should bear the economic costs of Putin’s illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine,” Fitzpatrick said”
Idiot, it was highly provoked, and well within international law. The ethnic cleansing in the Donbass allows any nation to intervene to stop it. It’s a long established UN principle.
England borrowed billions from us in WW2 and paid it back...we did not extract it from Germany...Ukraine is no better than England. These congressmen are pretty free with other people’s money.
Rep Brian Fitzpatrick, another damned FBI type in Congress.
“During his time in the FBI, he spent time in Kyiv (Kiev), Ukraine;”
So THAT is who he represents.
“ Trump is SMOKING THEM OUT!!!.”
lol Fitzpatrick wasn’t smoked out. He’s always been a rino POS.
A deal that includes a share of Ukraine’s natural resources for America is putting America first instead of putting Ukraine first.
No one is forcing anyone.
Funny how NATO will say if you agree to X, y, and z, you get to join and we will protect you.
The Trump administration, here, says the following in the video below and somehow it’s “extortion”

Nothing says RINO like a Pennsylvania RINO.
Check this guy’s bank accounts to see how much US funded Uke graft is coming his way.
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) is obviously involved in the billions that the little
Ukie pipsqueak can’t seem to account for! Fitzpatrick stole money from US taxpayers along with his demoncrat friends. Money laundering bastards! Of course the pipsqueak got his cut too.
Not really.
We had no particular alliance in place with Ukraine.
Requesting some payback from the assistance is warranted.
