Republicans Vote Against Bill that Calls for Troops Against Russia

Three House Republicans voted against a resolution on Wednesday that conservatives argued was so broad it could call to commit American troops to the conflict and for the United States to be in conflict with Russia "Forever."

Massie, a supporter of a non-interventionist foreign policy, said the resolution calls for "Immediate defensive security assistance" to Ukraine, which is so overly broad that it could call to commit American troops to the fight on behalf of Ukraine.

The Kentucky conservative also said the resolution's call to "Fully isolate" the "Putin regime" would hurt low-income Americans hurting from inflation and Russians who may not agree with the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

It calls for continuing support "As long as the Russian Federation continues to violate Ukraine's sovereignty." Depending on the definition of "Violate," this could be a US commitment to forever be actively engaged in a conflict with another nuclear country.

Never Trump Republican Adam Kinzinger did not approve of the three conservatives' vote against the resolution.

"Paul Gosar, Rosendale, and Thomas Massie just voted NO in the house of reps on a resolution supporting the people of Ukraine," the Never Trump Republican said.

The bill even calls for the wall to be at least 30 feet high.
