Listen to this article 0:00 / 1:30 1X BeyondWords The Biden administration has made it clear that the U.S. will not fight in Ukraine, opting instead to provide assistance in the form of arms to the Ukrainians, but Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., argues that even this is too much.
In a Twitter post Tuesday morning, the Minnesota congresswoman claimed that it would be difficult to know where American weapons might end up.
"The consequences of flooding Ukraine with billion dollars in [American] weapons, likely not limited to just military-specific equipment but also including small arms + ammo, are unpredictable & likely disastrous," Omar said. "Specially when they are given to paramilitary groups w/out accountability."
Omar has also warned that while the U.S. deals with Russia's aggression in Ukraine, they should not form stronger ties to other countries with questionable records. On Sunday she pointed to an Axios report that Biden might travel to Saudi Arabia in order to get them to pump more oil, providing an alternative to Russian energy.
Omar said this would be "wildly immoral" due to Saudi Arabia's involvement in Yemen.

Its immoral to buy oil from Russia! We’re going to Saudi Arabia, Iran and Venezuela instead.
I should add, she’s absolutely right.
So we are to interpret this as she is PRO PUTIN and she should resign!
Thanks SJackson. This won't get a second of coverage anywhere else in the MSM.
I never, ever thought I’d agree with her. This time she is correct.
Yeah go figure, twice she has said something that I agree with, one was regarding leftists going after donors who gave money to the trucker convoy, and secondly she went after Lindsey Graham for wanting someone to assassinate Putin
She’s right . We shouldn’t be sending Ukraine anything anyway , it’s not our problem
She’s not wrong.
Our guy McConnell is green lighting sending Ukraine 14 billion dollars though so its all good.
I would be ok with recipients having to sign for the weapons but it would be discriminatory for them to have to provide photo ID.
Well, I would wager the Ukrainians are actually going to use the weapons to fight the people trying to take over their country. Unlike Biden’s cluster fornication in Afghanistan where the weapons were left for our enemies.
She is just worried that they will not end up in Palestinian or Somali hands.
Seems pretty clear which side of the Islamist line she sides with...definitely, she is a supporter of Iran...and Iran is probably supporting her, too.
If she isn’t complaining about it, it must have ended up in Iran or China.
Squad’s Ilhan Omar is no Muslim. She’s in the Church of the Sub-Genius
She is correct. When Zelensky offered weapons in town squares, and opened the prisons, automatic weapons ended up in the hands of gangs.
I can assume when some of those, and US arms make their way across Europe and perhaps beyond, we can expect calls for strict gun control, maybe Martial law situations.
I was in BiH when the OSCE/UN had their voluntary small arms/ weapons collection/disarmament program. The criminal elements decided to keep theirs, and ordinary citizens gave theirs up. I urged my friends there to not comply, but they turned theirs in.
She needs to keep her paws off them then.
Did this woman graduate from high school?
Ilhan, don’t you have a brother who’s feeling randy? Run along and service him.
LOL. But she didn’t complain when Biden gave billions of dollars of serious military equipment to the Taliban. I guess they aren’t the “wrong hands.”
