We are blessed to have Canada as an ally & trading partner. Iโve spoken with local businesses, and talking down to our neighbor or making โ51st stateโ comments has not helped Nebraska or gained America one advantage. We should treat this relationship with the seriousness & respect it deserves.

We canโt be neutral when it comes to Russia and Ukraine. This is an evil vs good war, and we should stand with the democracy, the victim of an invasion and not the invader. People say theyโre pro-Ukraine, but actions speak louder than words.

The Pentagon blindsided Poland and pulled an armored brigade out of Eastern Europe while Russia is still waging war in Ukraine. This sends a weak message to Putin and is a slap in the face to our NATO allies. We need answers and accountability from DoD.

This is our Churchill vs. Chamberlain moment. Stand with good or stand with evil. Ukraine is a democracy invaded by a dictator who wants to erase its independence, culture and people. Ronald Reagan would stand with Ukraine and vote yes tonight. He would choose Churchill.

Poland spends nearly 5% of its GDP on defense and has done what we ask of our NATO allies. Blindsiding them while canceling a U.S. armored brigade deployment sends a weak message to Putin and a terrible message to our allies.

Iโve been very supportive of POTUS on Iran & believe getting rid of Maduro was good. But Iโve been appalled by this Admin's tone, rhetoric, tactics & strategy toward Europe. Denigrating our allies has been terrible. Weakness communicated to Putin has caused grave damage. Passive-aggressive communication toward President Zelenskyy is embarrassing. I hear from our allies about the damage this has done & itโs going to take time to repair.

Pulling out of NATO would be a disaster for decades to come. Our alliances have already been damaged, and trust with our closest partners has been weakened. We need our allies to deter Russia, China, and Iran, and to address threats worldwide. America alone is a weaker America.

I support negotiations, but we should not act like referees between two equal sides. Ukraine is a democracy under attack. Russia is the aggressor, bombing cities, killing POWs, and kidnapping children. There is a right and wrong here, and we should be clear about it.

I respect differences of opinion on Iran, but blaming the โIsraeli lobbyโ for the war echoes some of the oldest anti-semitic tropes, dating back centuries, the false idea of a hidden Jewish cabal secretly controlling our country. That has no place in our party. I will not be a bystander when I hear this racism.

We don't have all the details yet, but it's sounding more like a Russian plan for Ukraine. Negotiating without Ukraine is a lot like Munich 1938. It makes Ukraine weaker & vulnerable to future Russian attacks. It's unacceptable & a surrender to Putin. We must have moral clarity.

.Vice President JD Vance should get the heck out of Hungary & focus on Iran. My family is from Hungaryโa freedom-loving country that rose up against the Soviets in 1956. Today Orban has aligned Hungary closer to Russia & undermined NATO. Regardless we shouldn't interfere in other countries' elections. Thatโs what Russia & China do.

The Baltic states are our closest allies. No one loves America more. They spend more on defense than we do. Cutting their security assistance is wrong and is leading us down a terrible path that will be a black chapter in history. The President is being ill-served by DoD leaders.

We are the leader of the free world and weโve spent nearly 80 years in that role. I think it would be a grave error to walk away from this leadership role. As it is often said, America is great because we are good. If we ever cease to be good, weโll also cease to be great.

Saying the IG report totally exonerates SECDEF is total baloney. I read the report which shows he released sensitive information on an unclassified phone, a prime target for Russia & China. If that info reached Yemen it could have compromised the mission & put our pilots at risk.

A Russian victory in Ukraine will cost us more as other nations like Moldova, Georgia, and Azerbaijan could fall next. Ukrainians are doing the fighting, but they need our weapons support to survive. Standing up to bullies is essential for our national security interests.

Pressuring Ukraine to give up more territory is wrong and only rewards the invader. I served in NATO and have studied Russia closely. Even if more land is given to them, nothing will stop Putin from doing this again in a year or two.

We had an opportunity to add bases in Greenland without all the drama, hostility, and threats. Denmark and Greenland would have welcomed a friendly discussion. This has damaged our relationships with allies, including the most successful alliance in history.
