Graham (R-SC) 03/01/2022: Twitter thread – “Very glad to see Israel will be supporting the UN resolution against Putin's destruction of Ukraine. I was very disappointed to hear yesterday that Israel turned down a request to supply the Ukrainian military with Stinger missiles. After rebuffing US at UNSC, Israel set to back General Assembly vote slamming Russia | The Times of Israel Now is the time for all who believe in democracy and freedom to step up to the plate, including Israel.”

Hern (R-OK-1) 03/01/2022: Retweet of @coachbrucepearl – “Too little and maybe too late! Putin has been telling the world he wants Ukraine and now he's taking it!

Womack (R-AR-3) 02/28/2022: Tweet – “President Biden's policies ended America's energy independence—leaving us reliant on sources from adversaries. We're buying Putin's oil. It gets worse. The White House would rather give Iran a path to a nuclear weapon and global energy markets than unleash U.S. energy production. Link to quoted tweetPresident Biden — stop partnering with Russia to cut a deal with Iran. When China and Russia are on your side of the table negotiating “against” Iran, you are putting America and Israel at risk.”

Syria

Blackburn (R-TN) 03/01/2022: Tweet – “Using their playbook from Syria, Russian military forces are allegedly employing cluster munitions against at least two civilian targets. That is a war crime.”

Risch (R-ID) 02/28/2022: Tweet – “Having spent years indiscriminately bombing innocent civilians in #Syria, #Putin is now doing the same in #Ukraine using the same brutal tactics & systems.

Iran

Long (R-MO-7) 03/01/2022: Retweet of @RepStefanik – “Joe Biden created a National Security Crisis. He alone is to blame for the failed withdrawal from Afghanistan. President Biden's weakness has emboldened Russia. China, Iran, and North Korea are watching. #SOTUinCrisis”

McCarthy (R-CA-23) 02/28/2022: Tweet – “The United States of America should not be negotiating with Iran—the world's largest state-sponsor of terror. We should be imposing greater sanctions on the Iranian regime, not gifting them with a pathway to getting a nuclear weapon. Link to video”

McCaul (R-TX-10) 02/28/2022: Tweet – “LR @RepMcCaul “It should be obvious that Russia should no longer serve as one of the key intermediaries brokering an #Iran nuclear deal. There is no chance #Russia has U.S. national security interests in mind when it looks at Iran's nuclear program.” Link to quoted tweetThis is what pariah status looks like for Russia apparently. Who are you kidding @PressSec @StateDeptSpox @EUCouncilPress? (Link to twitter.com)”

Tenney (R-NY-22) 02/28/2022: Tweet – “If the Russian Federation wants to act like a pariah, it should be treated like one. That's why I'm leading the charge to boot Russia from the UN Security Council and why I'm joining my colleagues in calling on Russia to be excluded from all ongoing Iran nuclear negotiations.”

Saudi Arabia

Casten (D-IL-6) 03/01/2022: Twitter thread – “There is a very disingenuous and dangerous conversation going on right now about Russian oil and what we should do to reduce demand for same in defense of Ukraine. It is being led by politicians & businesses who's only interest is throwing $ at US producers. Let's dive in: 1/ First, we - and by we, I mean the entire Western, pro-democracy world - should do everything in our power to reduce demand for Russian oil & gas. Their economy depends on it. 2/ The best way to do that is to commit to energy efficiency and renewables. It gives us all access to transportation, warm homes and electricity with the least cost. And makes us dependent not only on Russian oil, but also Saudi, Azerbaijani, Canadian and North Dakotan. 3/ Alternatively, we could get there by shifting production elsewhere. And this is where the conversation gets dangerous. Because lots of my colleagues are suggesting this is about Keystone, or ramping up US LNG exports. THEY ARE LYING. 4/ Some numbers. Nordstream 2 has the capacity to 55 billion cubic meters/year of natural gas to Western Europe. Total US LNG export capacity is about 121 BCM/y, but it's almost totally maxed out. We are already using that resource as much as we can. 5/ We are facing real time, daily risks of Russia taking control of Ukraine. I'm going to say this slowly for the kids in the back of the room: YOU CAN'T BUILD AN LNG TERMINAL IN A WEEK. Arguments that US should ramp LNG exports right now are moronic. 6/ Moreover, the build up of LNG export capacity has substantially contributed to the rising price of natural gas in the US. Setting moral issues aside, anyone arguing for more LNG exports is also arguing for more volatility in US natural gas markets. Link to quoted tweetAnd now, I bring you a public service announcement to pre-but the arguments that seem to be gaining traction suggesting (falsely) that current gas price volatility is caused by renewables. Buckle up... Thread: 7/ There is another argument going on that the US should immediately permit the Keystone pipeline and stop purchasing Russian oil. Let's look at those numbers: 8/ The US is importing about 13 million barrels of Russian oil per month. (400K BPD). This is primarily to Alaska and Hawaii, for geographic reasons. U.S. Imports from Russia of Crude Oil and Petroleum Products (Thousand Barrels)... | eia.gov   Link to image”

Fleischmann (R-TN-3) 03/01/2022: Tweet – “Energy security is national security. We must restart domestic oil production and not rely on Russia, the Saudis, or any other source of foreign oil and energy.”

Sherman (D-CA-30) 03/01/2022: Tweet – “Saudi benefits from #Ukraine invasion. Sells its oil for a premium. Pockets the premium rather than give it to Ukraine humanitarian efforts. And by refusing to pump more, empowers Putin. Oil prices are rising fast. Saudi Arabia may not come to the rescue... | cnn.it”

Sudan

Kildee (D-MI-5) 02/28/2022: Tweet – “If Sudan wants to be recognized as a member of the international community, the Sudanese government must publicly condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Sudan's recent abstention at @UNHumanRights & Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo's recent visit to Moscow are very troubling. Link to quoted tweetThe visit of the the deputy leader of Sudan's military-led ruling council to Moscow comes at a very sensitive time for both countries (Sudan's military leaders well received in Moscow amid growing international isolation... | al-monitor.com) by @MohamedSaiedF”

Kildee (D-MI-5) 03/01/2022: Tweet – “The Sudanese people support the right of all citizens to democratically choose their own future. But Sudan's military sending a delegation to Russia as it invades Ukraine demonstrates that coup leaders have no interest in supporting democracy or basic principles of sovereignty. Link to quoted tweetSudan's military-led Sovereign Council Monday called for dialogue to resolve the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, ignoring calls by the European Union and Troika to condemn the Russian invasion.

He'll be a superb leader of the American Jewish Committee.”

Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY-14) 02/28/2022: Twitter thread – “McCarthy has been protecting his little KKK Caucus for years with these toothless statements and meetings. It's how he covers for them. He's now helped them for so long they've escalated their open antisemitism & collaboration w/ white nationalist groups. He's just as culpable. Link to quoted tweetNEW. I just caught up with @GOPLeader on MTG, Gosar attending a white supremacist rally. He said he plans to meet with @RepMTG this week. “This is unacceptable.” (Link to twitter.com) McCarthy stood on the House floor and passionately defended Rep. Gosar, who also headlined fundraisers for white nationalist orgs & escalated into inciting violence in the House. He made it fair game. It's not an exaggeration in the slightest to say he works to protect them.”

Pallone (D-NJ-6) 02/28/2022: Tweet – “It's important to commemorate the anniversaries of the Sumgait and Baku pogroms to remember the victims and learn from these past atrocities.

Crenshaw (R-TX-2) 02/28/2022: Twitter thread – “Russia and China are openly challenging the West. We must accept this reality, and act accordingly: 1. Achieve global energy dominance - especially in oil, gas, nuclear, and rare earth mining. Leverage is gained when we are not dependent on Russian energy or Chinese minerals. 2. Fortify alliances- for every ally we let fall, ten more will falter when we need their support. The least we can be doing is lethal aid for Ukraine that kills our enemies without sacrificing a single US soldier. It is the world - not just the US -versus China and Russia. 3. Ensure our allies are not freeloading, but spending an ample amount on their own defense. In the near term, this means Europeans stepping up to defend their neighbors in Ukraine. 4. Ensure we are investing in our own 21st century military, built to counter great powers, not dirt farmers in the mountains of Afghanistan.”

Bacon (R-NE-2) 03/01/2022: In reply to Tweet@DonJBacon We could try to move away from oil.
