‘’’ Thomas Massie Explains Why He Voted Against Resolution Supporting Ukraine’’’
Mar 4 2022
“Look, we fully support the people of Ukraine for their right to self-determination. And that was basically the middle of this resolution, but this resolution ended up to be seven pages. And I think it runs the risk of escalating the conflict in Ukraine and drawing us into it.
“For instance, it guarantees that we will have ‘defensive security assistance to Ukrainians.’ What does that term mean? It’s so broad that it could mean boots on ground. Or some of my colleagues in the House and the Senate have already called for a no fly zone. Can you imagine that, that the US would be engaging Russian jets, shooting them down to impose a no fly zone? We shouldn’t be playing chicken with a nuclear power and we certainly shouldn’t be shooting down jets that they have.

Can we get through the situation in Ukraine before we expand the conflict to Belarus? I would hope so. And then finally it calls for crippling sanctions on Russia. Now look, the sanctions that we have now, I agree with your previous guests on this.
“They’re really not going to affect Russia that much. But if we have crippling sanctions on Russia, number one we run the risk of alienating those protesters who are pushing against Putin if we end up starving them out.
