Embattled Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) on Thursday’s night debate state justified the war in Ukraine, while challenger Harriet Hageman said former President Donald Trump would have prevented it.

“It’s the frontline in the battle for freedom,” Cheney said of President Joe Biden’s involvement in the conflict with arms gifts and intelligence operations.

Dick Cheney’s daughter, who has been dubbed by Trump as a “warmonger,” has consistently supported Biden’s costly involvement in defending Ukraine’s border from Russia, aligning herself with Biden’s administration.

“[O]n the issue of Ukraine, there is no daylight between us [Biden],” Cheney wrote in a Washington Post May 6 op-ed. “And there should be no partisan divide among members in Congress. It must be the policy of the United States that the strategic objective in Ukraine is a victory for a free and democratic Ukraine.”

But Cheney’s opponent has taken a different approach to the war in Ukraine. Speaking on the debate stage with Cheney, Hageman said Russian President Vladimir Putin never would have invaded Ukraine if Trump’s strength was still in the White House.

“Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if President Trump was still the president,” she said. “I truly believe that there is a special place in hell for people who will adopt policies that are intended to increase the cost of energy, housing, and food, and that’s exactly what the current administration is doing.”

On Tuesday, Biden’s economic adviser Brian Deese claimed the prolonged war in Ukraine is worth it, even if it means gas prices

The deepstate wanted a war in Ukraine because they are drinking their own cool-aide thinking that Europe's largest army, supplied by NATO, would make short work of the backward, obsolete poorly supplied, ill-led, and ill-trained Russian AF, which didn't comprehend how the modern doctrine we used to defeat the Iraqis, ISIS and the Taliban would make short work of the Russian military.

Sooner or later they are going to wake up to the fact that they were had, and the folks who had them were themeselves, the MIC, and an intelligence community who has been spreading pixie dust for years. Lizzie's dad was on the game.

The old war horse Lez Romney hates Trump for not supporting pointless wars and filling pockets of defense contractor buddies 🤪

This conflict could have been avoided. However, current people in office are actually pushing for it.

“Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if President Trump was still the president,” she said.

Easy to say, hard to prove. Which makes it the perfect campaign position.

Lizard has 5 kids-two of them are male-but since she and her swamp/China serving lawyer husband have been married since 1993, they are too old to “offer”-they would already have served by now...

No, Liz, the frontline in the war for freedom was domestic energy production...Biden has had that dying a death of a thousand cuts since literally his first day in office, empowering Russia from day one, and continuing to do so.
