The Biden administration\u2019s virtual \u201cblank check\u201d funding of this conflict for \u201cas long as it takes,\u201d without any defined objectives or accountability, distracts from our country\u2019s most pressing challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:19px\">Without question, peace should be the objective. The U.S. should not provide assistance that could require the deployment of American troops or enable Ukraine to engage in offensive operations beyond its borders. F-16s and long-range missiles should therefore be off the table. These moves would risk explicitly drawing the United States into the conflict and drawing us closer to a hot war between the world\u2019s two largest nuclear powers. That risk is unacceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:19px\">A policy of \u201cregime change\u201d in Russia (no doubt popular among the DC foreign policy interventionists) would greatly increase the stakes of the conflict, making the use of nuclear weapons more likely. Such a policy would neither stop the death and destruction of the war, nor produce a pro-American, Madisonian constitutionalist in the Kremlin. History indicates that Putin\u2019s successor, in this hypothetical, would likely be even more ruthless. The costs to achieve such a dubious outcome could become astronomical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:19px\">The Biden administration\u2019s policies have driven Russia into a de facto alliance with China. Because China has not and will not abide by the embargo, Russia has increased its foreign revenues while China benefits from cheaper fuel. Coupled with his intentional depletion of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and support for the Left\u2019s Green New Deal, Biden has further empowered Russia\u2019s energy-dominated economy and Putin\u2019s war machine at Americans\u2019 expense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:19px\">Our citizens are also entitled to know how the billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars are being utilized in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:19px\">We cannot prioritize intervention in an escalating foreign war over the defense of our own homeland, especially as tens of thousands of Americans are dying every year from narcotics smuggled across our open border and our weapons arsenals critical for our own security are rapidly being depleted.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20370%20247'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-72.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load wp-image-2084\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"910\" height=\"147\" src=\"https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-72.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2084\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-72.png 910w, https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-72-300x48.png 300w, https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-72-770x124.png 770w, https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-72-293x47.png 293w, https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-72-390x63.png 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Original Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2023\/03\/haughty-kamala-harris-wags-her-finger-as-she-lectures-ron-desantis-on-ukraine-if-you-really-understand-the-issues-you-probably-would-not-make-statements-like-that\/\">https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2023\/03\/haughty-kamala-harris-wags-her-finger-as-she-lectures-ron-desantis-on-ukraine-if-you-really-understand-the-issues-you-probably-would-not-make-statements-like-that\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kamala Harris taped an appearance on the CBS show the Late Show with Stephen Colbert in New York City Wednesday night where she was&nbsp;jeered by protesters&nbsp;as she arrived and departed the Ed Sullivan Theater.
