Relevant Statements
-
“I support standing with Ukraine, and I support fiscal responsibility. That’s why I have introduced the Ukraine Aid Oversight Act to guarantee that American taxpayer money is being used for the defense against Russia’s invasion, not to enrich bad people or be wasted frivolously.”
-
“I think it’s a separate issue that needs to be addressed by adults. We need to have a very complex conversation about the history of Ukraine, where the money has already gone, and the success [Ukraine has] already had, going against the third-largest army in the world.”
-
“I have been to Kyiv. I’ve talked to 101st, 10th Mountain. I have watched the handover of weapons. I’ve watched their effectiveness, of weapons taking out 50% of the armor on the third largest army in the world, stopping thier advance, and actually getting ground back because they had the munitions they need. If we supply them the munitions they need, they will make the sacrifice to protect their own… Europe has a GDP of $20 trillion. We have a GDP of $25 trillion. Russia has $1.8 trillion GDP, do the math. Russia cannot win this if we support Ukraine. We need a unanimous NATO support.”
