"Evil" Josh Hawley hit with bipartisan pushback after call to drop U.S. support for Ukraine NATO bid

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The White House accused Sen. Josh Hawley of "parroting" Russian propaganda after the Missouri Republican called for the United States to drop its longstanding support for Ukraine to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

Press secretary Jen Psaki made the statement Wednesday evening after Hawley sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin calling for the changes. He claims that a pledge to defend Ukraine — which would become effective if the country were to join the military alliance — would distract the United States from China's growing influence in the Indo-Pacific.

Hawley reportedly wrote "it is not clear that Ukraine's accession would serve U.S. interests."

"If you are digesting Russian misinformation and parroting Russian talking points, you are not aligned with long-standing bipartisan American values, which is to stand up for the sovereignty of countries, like Ukraine," Psaki told reporters.

8. He's just always looking for a way to stand out from the crowd.

11. "it is not clear that Ukraine's accession would serve U.S. interests."

Yes it is. Having Ukraine in NATO and moving closer to the EU would bring the largest grain producer into a friendly and strategic relationship with Key US ALLIES. Russia wants Ukraine for a bunch of reasons one of which is the capacity it has for providing grain.

12. Good point!

Ukraine has been known through history as "the breadbasket of Europe".

One of Hitler's reasons for invading Russia was he wanted their wheat production for the German Reich, along with oil from the Caucasus. Your post makes it clear Russia is looking at the same thing now.

Beating out Rand Paul and racist Kennedy will be hard.
