As a 31-year Army veteran myself, and the grateful father of four sons who have served overseas, I want America to maintain peace through strength. As a senior member of the Armed Services Committee, I know firsthand we have the capability of drawdown not reducing our capabilities. When concerns were expressed over providing 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine would reduce our defense, I quickly researched and found that we have 8,000 tanks available, and actually, the 31 were in excess. I support the proven Republican policies of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan of: Why not victory over dictators? Peace through strength with American leadership has led to the largest number of nations living in democracy in world history as fascism was defeated and communism crushed. Ukraine should receive the weapons it needs to achieve victory of restoring Ukrainian territorial integrity. The alliance of war criminal Putin, the Chinese Communist Party, and the Tehran regime must be stopped before they achieve death to Israel, death to America. I urge as quickly as possible that we provide the equipment that can bring peace to the region by bringing equipment to the people of Ukraine, who are so bravely fighting back against the war criminal Putin. Therefore, I oppose this amendment.
