Ernst calls on Biden to be 'very clear and very strong' in call with Putin as US concerns grow over
Source: CNN
Washington (CNN)Republican Sen. Joni Ernst on Sunday urged President Joe Biden to be "very clear and very strong" in his upcoming call with Russian President Vladimir Putin as US officials grow increasingly concerned about a possible invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
"I do think that President Biden needs to be very clear and very strong in his message to Vladimir Putin," the Iowa Republican told Fox News Sunday. "He needs to say to Vladimir Putin that we are no longer going to allow you to continue with the Nord Stream 2 pipeline and we need you to know and understand that we will defend Ukraine and we will provide them assistance. He needs to make that very clear," Ernst said, referring to the controversial new pipeline built to move natural gas from Russia to Germany.
A member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Ernst stressed the need for Biden to push back against what she called "a very aggressive action" by Russia after reports of an increased Russian military presence at the Russia-Ukraine border suggested Russia could launch a military attack on Ukraine early next year.

(38,958 posts)1) the message from the WH (and State) already IS very, very clear. Has been since the start of the administration. So - thanks, Joni.
and 2) Joni Ernst is a vacuous nobody, that has virtually nothing that the rest of the world needs to hear. The end.

(6,265 posts)is Putin has been quoted saying there is no such thing as a former KGB agent. TFG found that out time and again to our chagrin. Now because of his being a totally compromised POTUS and the fascists running our government at that time we face this. China is in this potential maelstrom also.
