Continuing to support the courageous people of Ukraine is not only the morally right thing to do, but it is also best for American families. War criminal Putin's invasion is a prelude to a conflict which is death to Ukraine, death to Israel, and death to America. We are in a conflict we didn't choose, with dictators and rule of gun opposing democracies with rule of law. The war began with war criminal Putin invading Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and Iranian puppets invading Israel on October 7, 2023. We should always remember--and I was grateful to be at Normandy last week--that it was President Ronald Reagan in 1984 who stated: `` . . . isolationism never was and never will be an acceptable response to tyrannical governments with an expansionist intent.'' We know that Putin has claimed that he wants to restore the Soviet Union. He already has invaded Georgia. He has invaded Moldova. He has Russian troops in Armenia. He has threatened Estonia and Poland. We know that he will not stop. We must be successful in Ukraine.
