Bob Menendez said "I think we will do what it takes to see Ukraine win because it's not just about Ukraine. It is about the international order. If Ukraine does not win, if Putin can ultimately not only succeed in the Donbass but then be emboldened maybe to go further, if he strikes a country under NATO, under our treaty obligations with NATO, then we would be directly engaged.

And I think that ability not to have to send our sons and daughters into battle is priceless." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
