We cant afford weakness against known adversaries.Iran 'weeks' from having enough material for nuclear bomb... | tinyurl.com”

Donalds (R-FL-19) 02/22/2022: Tweet – “Joe, Vladimir Putin thinks you're a joke. Joe, Xi Jinping thinks you're a joke. Joe, the Supreme Leader of Iran, thinks you're a joke. Joe, Kim Jong-un thinks you're a joke. Joe, our adversaries, think YOU'RE A JOKE. Link to quoted tweetVladimir Putin doesn't want me to be President. He doesn't want me to be our nominee. If you're wondering why — it's because I'm the only person in this field who's ever gone toe-to-toe with him.”

Graham (R-SC) 02/21/2022: Twitter thread – “If one ever had any doubt about Putin's ambitions, today's speech should remove all doubts. Putin is making the case for the reconstitution of the Soviet Union/Russian Empire because he believes he can get away with it. It's clear that after the debacle in Afghanistan, every thuggish figure on the planet is licking their chops, including the Iranians and the Chinese. I stand ready, willing and able to work with the Biden Administration to impose the most crushing sanctions possible on the Russian economy. The question is whether the Biden Administration has the will and determination to do so. It is long past time for all the Russian oligarchs – Putins' partners in crime – to lose their yachts, luxury apartments, and their assets. That would be a good beginning on the long journey to push back against Putin and his misadventures. The truth of the matter is the Russian economy is smaller than that of Italy, overly dependent on oil and gas revenue, and is both internally and externally weak. The Russians have a pair of twos while the West has a Full House. However, it is the West that is folding.”

Hagerty (R-TN) 02/21/2022: Tweet – “As Biden allows Putin to redraw the borders of Ukraine & the rest of Europe, he's letting Russian diplomats in Vienna drive America's entry into a more disastrous Iran nuclear deal that'll unleash tens of billions to IRGC terrorists. This is feckless. Link to quoted tweet.@Amb_Ulyanov says he think in 10 days there might be a new JCPOA deal (Link to twitter.com)”

Hern (R-OK-1) 02/22/2022: Twitter thread – “We're only in this situation because Putin is taking advantage of Biden's weak leadership. Putin's received the assurances he wanted regarding Ukraine's NATO status; even before the invasion began, Putin was already the victor. He's shown that his tactics work. A weak @POTUS is unable to stop him. Should opportunistic leaders in China or Iran decide to further test the US, it would spell disaster.”

McCaul (R-TX-10) 02/22/2022: Tweet – “LR @RepMcCaul: "6 years ago, Iran arrested U.S. citizen Baquer Namazi. They refuse to let him leave Iran for medical treatment and to reunite with his family. Iran must release Baquer and all U.S. hostages." #FreetheNamazis #FreeIranHostages McCaul, Meeks Urge Biden Administration to "Prioritize Securing the Release of American Citizens Unjustly Imprisoned in Iran" - Committee on Foreign Affairs”

Rubio (R-FL) 02/22/2022: Tweet – “Today marks six years Baquer Namazi has spent in an Iranian prison. The regime in #Tehran uses him and other detained Americans as bargaining chips. Sen. Rubio again calls for Namazi's and his son Siamak's immediate release and an end to the Ayatollah's hostage diplomacy.”

Jewish, Anti-semitism

Allred (D-TX-32) 02/21/2022: Tweet – “It is horrifying to see these anti Semitic flyers in North Texas. Our Jewish neighbors and friends deserve to live in our community without fear.

Gosar (R-AZ-4) 02/21/2022: Tweet – “I've built my career around putting America First. Your shrill defamation and shrieking demonstrates how unfit for public office you are.

Suozzi (D-NY-3) 02/21/2022: Twitter thread – “Vladimir Putin is pressuring a sovereign democracy - Ukraine. The world is being confronted with existential choices between democracy and authoritarianism. Freedom and servitude. Why it matters if Russia recognizes Donetsk and Luhansk.... | nytimes.com We are exhausted. We must, however, remember that “the veneer of civilization is paper thin. We are it's guardians and we cannot rest,” former Congressman Tom Lantos - a Holocaust survivor. We must continue to enlist our NATO allies and all democracy loving nations to stand united against Putin's aggression.”

Watson Coleman (D-NJ-12) 02/22/2022: Tweet – “#OTD in 1943, three brave members of the White Rose Movement were put to death in Germany for calling for resistance to the brutality of the Nazi regime. Their bravery serves as a reminder that fighting antisemitism and hate are everyones responsibility. White Rose - Wikipedia”

Afghanistan

Bacon (R-NE-2) 02/21/2022: Twitter thread – “Weakness. Link to quoted tweetOn a media call, an SAO declined to say if Putin moving troops into separatist territories in Eastern Ukraine constituted an invasion. But after, another official told me that the admin. defines an “invasion” as Russian troops entering a part of Ukraine NOT occupied since 2014.   Link to reply@DonJBacon I would hope the actual Don Bacon would be saying, “I support our President and all world leaders as they collectively determine the best course of action against this aggression.” @Rebecca28049528 He cannot even determine if the Russian actions yesterday is an invasion or not… weak. Link to reply@DonJBacon I'm sorry sir, but weakness is standing by while Russia occupied UKR, watching a GOP prez tell the world to trust a KGB guy over the US, and telling the world to stop NS II and passing the buck off to the next guy US lifts sanctions on Putin ally's firms (US lifts sanctions on Putin ally's firms... | bbc.co.uk) @PoliticsNeb Russia invaded Crimea, Donbas, and now more of Eastern Ukraine not during #45's term of President. Link to reply@DonJBacon And to think some republicans in congress gave the weakest most dangerous president in history even one win. Inexplicable. @McConkeyCookie I vote for what is best for country… don't give your power to your opponent by opposing everything they do. Stand for the higher good. Link to reply@DonJBacon We could actually see a war on mainland Europe, and this is your response. Frankly, I think this is irresponsible at best. @JimHarroldOmaha Appeasement leads to war. Link to reply@DonJBacon Reckless spending of yet to be born taxpayer money is not “higher good”. It's theft and taxation without representation. We once went to war over that. @McConkeyCookie The country needs infrastructure… and about two-thirds of our district agree. Link to reply@DonJBacon You personally have made me second guess the promotions given by our military. What criteria could they possibly be using? @KatemootAdams It's good that you do self-reflection. Link to reply@DonJBacon @JimHarroldOmaha Please stop. An official statement directly from Mr. Bacon is more appropriate, prudent and obviously more professional given the gravity of the situation. @Rebecca28049528 @JimHarroldOmaha We already did that last night. Link to reply@DonJBacon @KatemootAdams Your last two replies have been about appeasement and self-reflection, Rep. Bacon. Now put them together and think about the last president. Got any thoughts? @LibraryTan @KatemootAdams For starters, he's not the President. The current one has signaled weakness since approving the Russian pipeline and the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. Then, the lethal aid for Ukraine was too little, too late and too weak. Now, he's not sure if there's an invasion or not. Link to reply@DonJBacon So they say yes to the question “do you want to drink clean water? Now ask the question, “do you want our country to go 30 trillion in debt bought by Chi Coms? You'll get a resounding 💯 no. I'm sorry but it's reckless. It was reckless when republicans did it under Trump. @McConkeyCookie Infrastructure enables exports, commerce, public safety and national security. The GOP has traditionally been the party of infrastructure. It was overdue.”

Kinzinger (R-IL-16) 02/21/2022: Tweet – “I do believe the withdrawal from Afghanistan figured in here (was told that from a Admin appointee actually), but for Gods sake quit pretending Trump was tough on Putin. He was an absolute disaster on Russia. Link to quoted tweetLegacy media is going to have a very tough time working around the fact that the tyrant Putin invaded Ukraine in 2014 and will do so again in 2022 but did not do so between 2017 and 2020. Why was Putin deterred in those years but not now or in 2014? Don't expect a lot of analysis”

Malliotakis (R-NY-11) 02/22/2022: Tweet – “This tweet didn't age well. The reality is Putin is invading Ukraine because @JoeBiden has showed weakness with Afghanistan, appeasement with Nord Stream 2 and a renewed dependency on foreign energy. We've said all along that implementing sanctions AFTER the fact is nonsensical. Link to quoted tweetVladimir Putin doesn't want me to be President. He doesn't want me to be our nominee.

Waltz (R-FL-6) 02/21/2022: Tweet – “Here is what Bide should have been saying to deter Putin: 1. We will seize your oligarchs' assets - every yacht, villa, and the visas for their kids going to school in the US. 2. We will support a Ukrainian resistance - this will be a military quagmire like 1980s Afghanistan.”
