This amendment doesn't deal with Ukraine, it deals with NATO. It doesn't say anything bad. It denounces people that don't do what they said. I denounce people that don't keep their word. Shame on you. You said you would do something, and…

My amendment simply requires a mission statement from the National Command Authority. We used to insist on a mission and an exit strategy before we committed to wars. Make no mistake, this is a proxy war in Ukraine. Russians have unjustly…

The gentleman from South Carolina talks about war criminal Putin. That makes me think he supports regime change in Russia, because that is what it would take to prosecute Vladimir Putin for war crimes. Now, I am not saying that he is not a…

This amendment requires a mission. We have asked nicely, we have asked persistently, and they have given us no response, so there has to be consequences. We figure $300 million out of $113 billion is a small price. It is enough to get…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 230, nays 189, not voting 14, as follows: [Roll No. 289]…
