Relevant Statements

“I sit on [Intelligence], and I don’t know if this is a one-year problem, a six-month problem or a 10-year problem. And it’s tough for the American people to get behind something like that without definitive sell-off criteria.”
-
“I’m not necessarily opposed to supporting the Ukrainians further, but I am opposed to doing it at this point without some sort of explanation from the executive branch, Secretary of Defense [Lloyd Austin] telling us what we are doing with this money and where it’s going and what the end state is. You can’t give a blank check to the executive branch.”
-
“It’s not clear to me that the Ukrainians have a clearly defined win strategy to get the Russians out of eastern regions of Ukraine.”
-
“Everyone knows that Ukraine needs money. Everyone knows that Ukraine being victorious is good for the planet. The question is, how do we win? How do we enable a victory? And how do we prevent this from being effectively a stalemate?”
