Malliotakis (R-NY-11) 01/25/2022: Tweet – “While our energy costs skyrocket, the official policy of the Biden Administration seems to be that the USA and our allies Israel & Europe shouldn't have energy independence BUT adversaries like Russia should.  NO Keystone, NO EastMed BUT NordStream2 OK🤔 'US is undercutting three of its strongest allies in region by undermining EastMed'... | knews.kathimerini.com.cy”

Ossoff (D-GA) 01/24/2022: Retweet of @JacobMagid – “.@ossoff met virtually today w/ @idanroll for 2nd time in 3 months. During hour-long zoom, they "discussed regional security in the Mideast, developments in Ukraine, Israeli-Pal peace & strengthening Israel-Georgia ties in commerce, tech, and public health," per Ossoff's office”

Risch (R-ID) 01/24/2022: Twitter thread – “It was great to join @MikeEmanuelFox to discuss the most pressing foreign policy issues we face today including: unchecked #Russian aggression toward #Ukraine, #Iranian nuclear talks, and the future of #Taiwan. Link to quoted tweetOn today's FOX NEWS RUNDOWN, ⁦@SenatorRisch⁩ from ⁦@SenateForeign⁩ says on Russia “Words are good, actions are better.” #FoxNews ⁦@foxnewsradio⁩ (‎The Fox News Rundown: Risch On Russia: “Words Are Good, Actions Are Better” on Apple Podcasts... | podcasts.apple.com) Words are good, actions are better, & deterrence is incredibly important. When you're dealing with somebody like #Putin, or others who respect nothing except power, you need to demonstrate your willingness to take action. That will do more for deterrence than a thousand speeches. Under the prior administration, #Putin knew that he was dealing with people who were tough enough to do what needed to be done. With the Biden Administration, he's found weakness and he will exploit it. Every single member of Congress, 535 people, wanted #NordStream2 stopped. We passed law after law, but the Biden Admin just simply won't do it. If I were #Putin, I'd have a hard time believing these sanctions will actually be put on. Considering the way #Russia has built up troops on #Ukraine's border, there's plenty of reason right now to take action & enact sanctions. We cannot wait until after the fact – at that point, it's too late. Middle East problems are all about #Iran. The #JCPOA was a weak instrument that put the Iranians on the road to possess a nuclear weapon when we want to stop it. The Biden Admin doesn't have the strength to do what needs to be done – we'll have to leave that to #Israel. It's official U.S. policy that the tensions between #China and #Taiwan need to be resolved peacefully. How that happens and when that happens are unknown, but the U.S. cannot stand on the sidelines in the face of #CCP intimidation & aggression.”

Rose (R-TN-6) 01/25/2022: Tweet – “The relationship between the United States and Israel is critical for peace in the Middle East. We must stand with our ally. 🇺🇸🇮🇱”

Scott (R-FL) 01/24/2022: Tweet – “The Biden administration's refusal to inform Congress that it's working with Russia on a nuclear agreement with Iran is completely unacceptable.

Torres (D-NY-15) 01/24/2022: Retweet of @DemMaj4Israel – “"It does feel like our society increasingly fails to treat antisemitism with the seriousness that it deserves.” Thank you, @RitchieTorres, for making this essential point and for continuing to condemn #antisemitism wherever it appears.

Iran

Arrington (R-TX-19) 01/24/2022: Twitter thread – “President Biden must not mince words or use half measures with Russia. Putin will only respond to strength. I'm calling on the President to mobilize military assets, give Ukraine the weapons they need, & start sanctioning Russia NOW. Appeasement failed in Crimea. Learn the lesson and lead with resolve. If we fail to deter Russia, then China, Iran, and other adversaries will follow suit.”

Cramer (R-ND) 01/25/2022: GETTR Post – “I joined Larry Kudlow on Fox Business to discuss my recent trip to Ukraine and Ukraine-Russia tensions. The stability of Europe is at stake. It's not simply Ukraine, another former Soviet state again becoming a Soviet state, the ramifications are a stable or unstable Europe. If President Biden had been tougher up front and recognized Vladimir Putin's ability to use Nord Stream 2 as leverage and as a weapon we may not be here today. We also discussed Democrats' failed Build Back Broke plan and reports Seoul paid Iran's delinquent United Nations dues to restore their vote. Watch the full interview here: Sen.

Cruz (R-TX) 01/24/2022: Twitter thread – “Last week, I introduced legislation to impose sanctions on the Iranian-backed Houthis and re-designate them as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. 1/x Sen. Cruz Leads Bill to Impose Sanctions on Iranian Backed Houthis, Re-designate them as a Foreign Terrorist Organization | U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas President Biden made it an immediate priority to unwind pressure on Iran and its proxies, including by lifting terrorism sanctions on the Houthis and their leaders – a reckless, self-indulgent, and catastrophic move. 2/x This appeasement predictably caused Iran to escalate its aggression across the region, and in Yemen the Houthis launched a broad offensive within hours of the Biden administration's announcement they would lift those sanctions.3/x I've consistently sought to reimpose those sanctions, and it's now clear that if the Biden administration is unwilling to do so then Congress should mandate that they do. 4/x”

Hagerty (R-TN) 01/24/2022: Tweet – “Each week brings new attacks by Iran-backed proxies in Yemen vs U.S. forces & allies in Middle East.    Biden Admin should end talks to revive dangerously flawed Iran nuclear deal & to unleash tens of billions in sanctions relief to Iran's terrorist regime. Link to quoted tweetUAE says it shot down two ballistic missiles over Abu Dhabi launched by Iran-backed forces in Yemen.

Stefanik (R-NY-21) 01/24/2022: Tweet – “Joe Biden's failed withdrawal from Afghanistan, his failure to stand up to China, and his courting of Iran has only emboldened Putin. He has left our Ukrainian partners out to dry.”

Waltz (R-FL-6) 01/25/2022: Tweet – “Ned Price & the Biden Admin might not be linking the Afghanistan betrayal & Ukraine BUT our adversaries sure are. Losing two democracies in one year of Biden's presidency will be a green light for China to take Taiwan & Iran's nuclear build up. Inaction has consequences. Link to video”

Saudi Arabia

Omar (D-MN-5) 01/25/2022: Retweet of @tparsi – “🧵 Biden hasn't condemned a single Saudi attack on Yemen since he took office.

But as I explain in this piece, the basics ARE the problem. >> Opinion | How Biden can end America's war-enabling reputation once and for all”

Warner (D-VA) 01/24/2022: Tweet – “Houthis intentionally firing missiles at civilian targets in UAE is a tactic of terrorists. The UN Security Council should condemn the attacks as such and the Biden administration should explore labeling them as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.”

Qatar

Hern (R-OK-1) 01/24/2022: Twitter thread – “Thanks to the President's weak leadership, our enemies are emboldened, & our allies are losing faith in us. Our catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan resulted in the deaths of US servicemembers and our Afghan allies, leaving the country in the hands of a terrorist regime. 🧵 To our enemies around the world, it proved that our current leadership has weakened our resolve – America is not the international superpower we used to be. It's almost hard to remember the Joe Biden who said on the campaign trail: “Vladimir Putin doesn't want me to be President… because I'm the only person in this field who's ever gone toe-to-toe with him.” What a change a year makes. At his press conference last week, the same man said that he would possibly tolerate a “minor incursion” into Ukraine. Now, Russian forces are positioned along their border, poised to invade at any time. It's clear what Mr. Putin thinks of our esteemed Commander-in-Chief. My fellow Republicans and I remain committed to our international allies and will condemn acts of aggression from those who wish them harm, even if the White House refuses to do so. Appeasement is not a rational or sustainable policy – deterrence through strength is. I hope that the President can figure that out before our global competitors take advantage of his willful lack of action.”
