um Mr President I rise today to talk
0:02
about the unwinable war in
0:05
Ukraine which has already cost American
0:08
taxpayers billions of dollars now anyone
0:13
who dares question the unit party's
0:15
narrative on the war in Ukraine is
0:18
obviously going to get
0:20
criticized that's okay the media has
0:24
been complicit in pushing this
0:27
narrative think about when was was the
0:30
last time you saw live footage footage
0:33
on the ground in
0:35
Ukraine it's rare because Ukraine is
0:39
losing and is losing badly this comes
0:43
after we just gave Ukraine 6 billion
0:47
dollar
0:48
more of taxpayer money earlier this year
0:52
to prolong this War I see President
0:56
zalinski a uni party puppet is here
0:58
begging begging for more money on a
1:01
campaign trail with Camala Harris it
1:05
feels like he's here every other month
1:07
demanding more and more taxpayer money
1:11
that's because he knows that the money
1:13
spot will cut off if Cala Harris doesn't
1:18
win in
1:19
November look this subject is too
1:22
important to go
1:24
unaddressed over the last several months
1:27
I've asked multiple high ranking members
1:30
of the Biden Harris Administration to
1:32
articulate what it is trying to
1:34
accomplish in Ukraine just tell us tell
1:39
us what it'll cost and how we plan to
1:42
achieve these results basically I'm
1:45
asking what is our game
1:48
plan not one official in this
1:50
Administration has answered my questions
1:53
clearly not one one of the most
1:56
interesting responses I received was
1:58
from secretary a himself Secretary of
2:02
Defense he says we want to see Ukraine
2:05
remain a sovereign independent and
2:08
Democratic state that has the ability to
2:10
defend itself and its territory and
2:13
deter
2:14
aggression okay secretary Austin
2:17
continued stating that it is the
2:19
administration's goal to bring Ukraine
2:22
into NATO while I'm taneously blaming
2:25
Russia for NATO's past expansion
2:31
now here's when the DC establishment
2:34
really really gets
2:36
upset I'm going to review a few
2:38
undeniable facts about NATO's
2:42
history predictably the unip party will
2:44
accuse me of spewing Russian propaganda
2:48
but these are the facts and that's what
2:51
we have to go by and we can't shy away
2:54
from them NATO was formed 75 years ago
2:59
in 19 1949 as a defensive Alliance to
3:03
counter the Communist Soviet
3:05
Union it was wildly successful in that
3:09
it maintained peace through deterrence
3:11
throughout the Cold War NATO helped us
3:15
win the Cold War and dissolve communist
3:19
Soviet Union when the Cold War ended in
3:22
1991 Ukraine instantly became the
3:25
world's third
3:26
largest nuclear power Ukraine
3:30
following a series series of
3:33
negotiations ukrainians agreed to give
3:36
up their nuclear weapons in exchange for
3:39
security guarantees from both Russia and
3:43
NATO territorial integrity and political
3:48
Independence these efforts were
3:50
successful because they included
3:52
assurances by many many heads of state
3:55
including our own that would no up
4:00
Eastward expansion of NATO towards
4:02
Russia ever happened it was over at that
4:07
time there were 16 NATO
4:10
members today 33 years
4:13
later after this
4:15
agreement there are
4:18
32 NATO
4:20
members even though in
4:22
1991 we agreed to no more Eastward
4:26
expansion we broke the agreement
4:30
we NATO and United States NATO has
4:34
expanded Eastward seven times since that
4:38
agreement in
4:39
1991 the largest expansion in 2004 four
4:43
included two countries that share a
4:45
border with Russia Estonia
4:49
Lativia today NATO includes three
4:52
countries that border Russia six NATO
4:56
members are Warsaw former Warsaw packed
4:59
m MERS the bulk of this expansion
5:03
happened before Russia annexed Crimea
5:06
and invaded part of Ukraine in
5:09
2014
5:11
again these are all the facts all play
5:16
apart in the NATO story and Russia's
5:19
response to
5:21
it here's another fact NATO's expansion
5:25
was on NATO's
5:26
terms separate and apart from any Russ
5:30
input or activity let me read that
5:33
again NATO expansion was a NATO on
5:37
NATO's terms separate and apart from any
5:40
Russian input or activity contrary to
5:43
secretary Austin's claims ask
5:46
yourself how would the US
5:48
react if China or Russia entered a
5:51
mutual defense
5:53
organization with Mexico or Canada how
5:57
would we
5:58
react what if what if they started
6:00
basing troops or participating in
6:02
military exercises just miles from our
6:07
homeland having covered a brief history
6:09
of NATO let's ask logical follow-up
6:12
questions that we should always ask
6:15
before involving oursel in any armed
6:19
conflict first how far are we willing to
6:22
take this proxy war with Russia how far
6:24
are we did we think about that before we
6:27
got into
6:28
this are we committed to winning as
6:31
Russia's president is Vladimir Putin are
6:34
we committed to winning what happens if
6:37
the momentum
6:39
turns what happens if it turns against
6:42
Ukraine and Russia starts making real
6:44
gains as it appears is happening
6:48
today will the US send more taxpayer
6:51
money more weapons will NATO send troops
6:54
with the United States send troops
6:56
what's the plan
7:00
war is a serious business we should
7:04
understand that by now you don't have
7:07
ask your way into one and certainly
7:09
don't have as your way out of one that
7:12
doesn't seem to resonate around here
7:14
since a Russian offensive began we have
7:17
sent more than
7:18
174 billion taxpayer dollars to Ukraine
7:23
one of the most corrupt countries in the
7:27
world recently the Biden Harris
7:29
Administration announced their intent
7:32
their intent to send an additional 700
7:34
million taxpayer dollars to
7:37
Ukraine in cash are you kidding
7:41
me why on Earth would we give cash to
7:44
the most corrupt country on the face of
7:46
the
7:48
planet so after all
7:51
that after the last two and a half years
7:53
of funding billions of taxpayer
7:56
dollars getting hundreds of thousands of
8:00
people
8:01
killed what do we have to show for
8:05
it the war has only gotten worse
8:09
hundreds of thousand are dead Ukraine is
8:11
becoming more desperate as its forces
8:14
are engineering
8:16
widespread insubordination and even Mass
8:19
desertion we don't hear that on TV we
8:22
don't hear that in this propaganda media
8:25
over 6 million ukrainians have fled the
8:27
country have run have left our country
8:30
Ukraine is playing with
8:33
fire now seeking to conduct offensive
8:36
operations deep inside Russia why you
8:41
can't win most recently Ukraine launched
8:44
a drone attack that struck in
8:46
Moscow what are we trying to do start
8:50
World War
8:51
III most recently Ukraine launched a
8:54
drone attack struck several other office
8:57
buildings in Moscow
9:00
adding to the uncertainty of this
9:02
situation this administration's current
9:05
policy towards Ukraine has all the
9:06
Hallmarks of every Biden Harris foreign
9:09
policy decision that has preceded it
9:11
weak planning disaster results zero
9:16
leadership this Administration never
9:19
considered the consequences of Ukraine
9:23
losing how can that ever
9:25
happen this is really sad it's sad for
9:28
the United States of America it's sad
9:29
for the taxpayers it's sad for our
9:31
military it's sad for our allies and
9:33
it's sad for
9:35
NATO some of the democratic colleagues
9:37
have said Joe Biden never made a correct
9:39
decision to form policy in 40 years well
9:42
they hadn't broke
9:43
that Biden Harris Administration has
9:45
dumped billions of dollars also into the
9:48
lap of
9:49
Iran remove the terrorist designation
9:52
from the hoodies who by the way we're
9:54
fighting against right now but they're
9:56
not
9:57
terrorists alienated one of our most
10:00
important friends Saudi Arabia and
10:03
they've executed the disasters
10:05
Afghanistan and a withdrawal that
10:07
unnecessarily CA the lives of Americans
10:12
all this weakness was a direct signal to
10:14
our
10:15
adversaries Now's the Time to make your
10:19
move and that's exactly what our
10:21
adversaries
10:22
China Iran Russia and North Korea are
10:25
doing China today testing another
10:28
ballistic missile into the Pacific Ocean
10:31
they're
10:33
preparing Russia now has pounced on
10:37
Ukraine whatever you hear in the media
10:40
is not
10:41
true it is a Slaughter Iran has released
10:45
its proxies and terrorized the Middle
10:48
East our Ally Israel is fighting for its
10:51
life against Hamas following the
10:53
gruesome October 7th attack almost a
10:56
year ago the hoodies the hoodies are a
11:00
bunch of people that live in the
11:04
mountains have been emboldened to attack
11:07
ships which has negatively impacted
11:10
global
11:12
trade we can't even beat the hoodies and
11:15
we're trying to create more
11:17
Wars China has stepped up its aggression
11:20
in the China Sea we're losing influence
11:23
across the GL Globe especially in South
11:25
America and Africa where the Chinese and
11:28
the Russians are taking over we're
11:30
leaving Leaps and Bounds so let's be
11:34
very clear despite the administration's
11:37
incompetence I still believe Putin was
11:41
wrong to invade Ukraine and I think we
11:43
all
11:44
do he should have withdrawn his forces
11:47
immediately after it started Putin is
11:50
responsible for his actions and he has
11:52
made no secret of the fact that he sees
11:55
Ukraine as historically a part of Russia
11:59
at the same time I do not think that
12:02
Ukraine's border is more important than
12:05
ours not even
12:08
close which we have been completely
12:11
neglected and neglecting the last three
12:14
and a half years we have been overrun
12:18
Southern border northern border and from
12:21
airplanes all over the world flying into
12:22
our cities it's an
12:26
embarrassment we do not need the
12:28
administration to enable Ukraine to use
12:31
offensive weapons and strike strike deep
12:34
into Russia that cannot happen we are on
12:37
the cusp of a nuclear war nobody seems
12:41
concerned it won't happen yes it will
12:43
happen Putin is told us it will happen
12:47
if you continue this this would only
12:49
escalate this conflict to an entirely
12:52
entirely new level that none of us can
12:54
ever imagine do you think this offensive
12:56
would convince Putin to come to the
12:58
table and negotiate a peace agreement
13:00
well I would hope we would go but we do
13:02
not seem to want to make a peace
13:04
agreement we had better and we better do
13:06
it in the very near
13:08
future this will provoke him to even
13:11
more deadly weapons if we continue to
13:13
attack within their
13:15
borders costing more and more lives NATO
13:19
and the US would be forced to respond as
13:22
a
13:23
result we're trying to create a war we
13:26
must consider these questions thoroughly
13:30
before we involve ourselves in another
13:32
one of these crazy conflicts that should
13:35
never
13:36
happen improvising won't cut
13:39
it now is the time for the US to lead
13:42
and negotiate a piece to the end of this
13:45
Bloody
13:46
War I keep hearing people say well we're
13:50
building equipment for our military yeah
13:53
right or argue men and women are not
13:55
losing their lives we're getting close
13:58
to it we're getting very
14:01
close now look I come from a military
14:05
state in the state of Alabama we build
14:07
everything we have thousands of
14:10
troops I want it to be well funded and
14:14
well equipped if we ever have to fight a
14:16
war we need a lethal killing machine to
14:21
deter other
14:23
aggression that's what a military is
14:25
about this is not about defining our
14:28
military I want our military laser
14:30
focused on protecting Americans and not
14:33
woke Dei
14:35
initiatives and it's not about
14:37
abandoning our allies either we need to
14:40
support our allies it's about this
14:42
administration's funding a proxy war
14:45
with no plan zero no plan on how to stop
14:50
it or how to win
14:52
it Biden Harris Administration needs to
14:54
negotiate a peace agreement now
14:57
immediately or there will be huge
15:00
disastrous consequences coming in the
15:02
very near
15:03
future Mr President I yield the floor
