“My amendment would say that none of the funds available in the NDAA may be used for assistance to Ukraine. I think this is an important amendment because I strongly support the NDAA. This is a great military funding bill that has many things involved in it that our military needs. It even contains a much-needed pay raise for our troops, and that is something I greatly believe in right now while many of our military members are suffering under this inflation caused by the Biden administration. I think it is extremely important for Members of Congress to be able to vote separately for funding of foreign wars, and I do not believe that funding for Ukraine should be a part of the NDAA. The mission statement on the Department of Defense's website says that its purpose and mission are to deter war and to ensure our Nation's security. Funding a war in Ukraine does not deter war. It funds it. Funding a war in Ukraine does not ensure our Nation's security, it actually puts us at risk for possible further military engagement with another nuclear-armed nation, and that is Russia. Americans do not support this and neither does the majority of the majority here in Congress, which has voted against funding the war in Ukraine. To date, Congress has appropriated $174.2 billion in emergency supplemental funding. That is a lot of Americans' hard-earned tax dollars going to support security for another country's border while our border is being invaded every single day.…”
