San Luis Obispo Tribune: GOP representatives must approve more aid to Ukraine. If not, they’ll lose my support | Opinion

San Luis Obispo Tribune published an opinion piece from Ahsaf Goldman, a Republican for Ukraine:

After reading that Russian missiles killed an 8-year-old boy mere months after they attacked a pizza shop, I feel compelled to speak out against the isolationist viewpoint some in my Republican party have adopted.

The Republican representatives who have continuously voted against sending aid to Ukraine need to do some self-reflection. This is the party of Ronald Reagan, who believed in global democracy — never backing down in the face of oppressive totalitarian regimes. Now, some Republicans would rather appease a dictator than stand up for what’s right.

The fight in Ukraine is not only for Ukrainians’ freedom. This is a war for the freedom of all of Europe, and the whole world, too. We must continue providing them with both humanitarian and military aid.

GOP representatives must approve more aid to Ukraine. If not, they will lose my support and that of many others.
