Angus King: “I do not want our current deterrent to be Maginot Line of the 21st century that does not deal with existing threats.”

National Veterans Suicide Prevention Day is a solemn reminder of our responsibility to the veterans we have lost, and to the families who carry their memory forward.

At the end of the day, this deal from the White House is an attempt to boost their short-term political prospects at the true cost of the American people.

Adding insult to injury, today’s deal is a slap in the face to every member of Congress who voted for the Lindsay Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act just last month.

This so-called deal with Russia will do little for America and much for Vladimir Putin as he seeks to sustain his murderous campaign on Ukraine.
