The United States refused to accept Soviet missiles in Cuba, and was ready to fight World War III (which nearly happened, and which the CIA wanted) in response. But Russia should have no say in the matter if the United States provides Ukraine with missiles that can reach hundreds of miles into Russia? Senator Tom Cotton is a LUNATIC … see tweet below.
What’s next if the long-range missiles like every other weapons-system we have already provided fails to win the proxy-war? Do we provide Ukraine nuclear weapons in the name of “saving lives”? What happens if Russia commits some or all of the more than quarter-million being held in reserve in response to this escalation? Intervention by NATO?
This is madness. Either Cotton and his UniParty ilk accept that they have failed and Ukraine is not going to be a puppet-State for Blackrock, Chase, etc., etc., etc., and make peace … or we are going to end up in a hot war with Russia.
I wrote to President Biden with my colleagues and urged him to provide Ukraine with the missiles its military needs to win. Not doing so will only prolong the war and cost lives. pic.twitter.com/MBhG2H7Oa7
