Hopefully these same Republicans can encourage their fellow Republicans to provide the funding for these missiles.
Excerpt:
“Ukraine’s requirement for deep-strike capability remains urgent, particularly to range targets throughout Crimea,” Representatives Michael McCaul and Mike Rogers and Senators James Risch and Roger Wicker wrote.
McCaul chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee; Rogers chairs the House Armed Services Committee; Risch is the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Wicker is the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
They sent the letter as the Republican-majority House of Representatives nears a vote on a separate Israel aid bill, ignoring Democratic President Joe Biden’s demand that it pass a broad US$106 billion national security funding package that includes money for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan.
In their letter, the US lawmakers noted that Ukraine had requested the long-range missiles and demonstrated the ability to use them responsibly and that Russia had not escalated in response to their use.
MIC members? Nevertheless, do it!
I guess I have to eat my hat. Hope it works
Cool. That’s great and all, but you need to pass a funding bill first asshats.
Based and Biden is a dithering pussy when it comes to long range weapons pilled.
If only all, or even the majority, of Republicans were like them.
They’re literally doing this at the exact same time that they’re refusing to take up the Ukraine aid bill…
And immediately after voting in a Speaker who is categorically opposed to this…
Actions speak louder than words.
That’s awesome news, hopefully it puts pressure on the Democrats to get it done!
