House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Sunday suggested that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine if the U.S. provided weapons to Kyiv sooner.

“This is going to get stronger and rougher and what really needs to happen is, Ukraine is not asking for American men and women to fight, all they’re asking for is the weapons to defend themselves,” McCarthy told Fox News chief Washington correspondent Mike Emanuel on “Fox News Sunday.”

What he knows is that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine if he stood up and stopped a stolen election. He is clearly feeling guilty.

What about the invasion on our southern border ? That’s a lot more dangerous than the Russians

once again, this Zonder-GOP phoney would rather PROTECT
the BIDEN tunnels, BIDEN trafficking, and corruption
instead of impeaching him.

Reconcile:

The GOP chose HIM to protect their interests.

More likely Putin would have invaded with a larger force. Western arms to Ukraine would have been as provocative to Putin as Soviet missiles to Cuba were to JFK.

I’m not saying that arming Ukraine early would necessarily have been wrong. But by golly, we tend to ignore how our adversaries think. That’s just dumb.

Once Putin saw Biden’s incompetency in Afghanistan this couldn’t be stopped.

Wouldn’t have happened if evil democrats hadn’t stolen the election. No one respects the Biden administration.

Trump shoulda just signed Zelensky up with NATO and placed Jupiter missiles there along with all the bio labs and prevented the whole mess.

/s

At least that’s the popular opinion among many hypocrites.

Yeah, that was the whole problem. Another moronic Republican leader following the neocon plan. They are so immersed in the thinking that they simply cannot conceive that their belligerence and alliance sphere building directly causes these wars.

And nice of him to be in lockstep with Biden and Zelensky. Maybe his “roommate” Luntz told him to say that.

A clear demonstration of why Ukraine has more lobbyist in DC than any other nation. They have four times as many as Saudi Arabia.

Nope. It was all dependant upon WHO was POTUS at the time of the invasion.

Russia was going to invade Ukraine even if NATO troops were there in large numbers.

It’s strategically essential to them.

Evil Democrats could not have stolen the election without the assistance of evil Republicans.
