“The history of Europe shows us that if we remain isolationist in our outlook and foreign policy we end up paying in the long run by getting involved in major wars. This was true during World War II, and I think that we’re at a point now where we see Russia playing its hand fully and they have no hesitation to go into a full scale war if we back off.

We have every opportunity here to support a country that is striving for democracy and is on the very front lines of what’s happening in Eastern Europe.
“Americans have always been supportive of democracies around the world and that has led to our leadership in many different areas, so we need to continue that in order to stake our claim as leader of the free world.
“The whole history of the Republican party has been one that has been proactive in terms of supporting democracies around the world and if Senate Republicans and House Republicans cannot get together and make something happen here, they will be belying their own history.”
