'If Ukraine Is In, The U.S. Should Be Out': Mike Lee Rails Against NATO Expansion 

Ukraine has already lost this war,Russia has not shown any desire to invade Europe

These are some scary times we are living in.

Stop supporting Ukraine and support us the people who you are supposed to take care of. These politicians that continue to give our money to a foreign country instead of it's own people don't deserve their seats any longer.

As a Brit, I think it is good this is being questioned as UK, Europe & America have serious issues with their borders from regimes that wish to over throw the current ideologies of these Countries, that is dangerous as its seeping in & most political parties seem to be ignoring this & not treating it as seriously as they should be.

It’s wrong that a handful of people get to decide how to spend hardworking American’s money. I feel for the people of Ukraine, but if their neighbors don’t seem too interested in helping fund them, why should we? We can’t afford this.

Why should I want to fight Russia? No Russian ever called me "MAGAT."

Leave NATO!!!!!

America first . Americans First !

NATO counties pledge 2% of their GDP but most contribute less and the US contributes more, while receiving nothing in return.

Im concerned Ukraine getting our military equipment and weapons, Ukraine placing that technology on the black market Democrats are making bank with our National Security

I think the U.S. has no business staying in NATO regardless.

I support letting Europe provide its own security. US weapon sales would be booming. If they can’t field a standing military large enough I bet they certainly can’t outfit them properly either. Ships are probably very expensive.

What a Racket. Get rid of Nato

After the Cold War ended, Russia and China spent the next thirty years focusing on economic development. We focused on meddling in nation-building -- Somalia, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, and now Ukraine. These unnecessary nation-building coups and wars have weakened rather than strengthened our society, our finances, and our standing in the world. Meanwhile, Russia and China have been developing economic relationships, with the result that the BRICS group of nations is growing and threatening the confidence in the US dollar. George W. Bush deserves half the blame for losing wars, and Joe R. Biden deserves the blame for the other half. Bush should have been discarded in disgrace in 2004, for actively seeking a completely unnecessary war in Iraq and a doomed nation-building war in Afghanistan. Biden should be discarded in disgrace this year, for stumbling into the unnecessary war in Ukraine over expanding a tired relic of the Cold War, NATO. I always resisted the notion that the US was an empire, but with the recent ceremony on the 75th anniversary of NATO, I have to admit the US is just that, an empire. The ceremony looked like something reminiscent of the British Empire.

THANK YOU> needs to come up again.

Thank you for speaking the truth. And I thank you for doing this. I hope and pray this gets addressed, and we stop this craziness.

The European Countries should pay at least half of whatever it costs to defend them from an attack.

END THE FOREVER WARS.

Truth!

We should only provide or match the highest European Allocation, no more.

Ben needs to stop lying

I think if we're going to be involved with the NATO we need to pay the less amount as all these other countries are paying in today's society which is probably a fifth of their damn GDP and if we actually look at it the way that NATO looks at it why the hell do we need to pay them any money at all because we got a lot of countries that ain't paying a damn dime into NATO

We have sent Ukraine much more aid than 54 bill.

Hunter needs more money 😂😂😂

Stop sending money to UKRAINE

Here, here. We also need to stop funding one of the wealthiest countries in the world...Israel.

A treaty requires a 2/3 majority vote in the senate. End of story.

Stop president Zelenskyy

I approve of this message.

1:31 "We simply do not have the luxury of infinite military capabilities."- Well does THAT mean that Russia is more powerful than USA? 😂 Elementary logic. Russia seems to have all the capabilities and resources to last in this war, while the "superpower" USA somehow doesn't have enough capabilities. Go figure. Also time to update a bit about that old story of USA paying for the protectiomln of Europe. Currently there's only 3 NATO members that are spending less than 2% of their GDP on their defence. Canada, Spain and i think Belgium. Literally ALL the others are 2% and above. Many are well above, for example Poland with 3,8% spending is the champion of NATO. Many talking points here that are simply learned from the past years and not honest or truthfull anymore.

If Mike Lee is out, a real public servant could take his place.😊

Roger Wicker must be getting kickbacks.

The white flag of surrender to Putin was first flown at Forbes Breaking News.

shameless evil money laundering

Cardin, 80.

Mike Lee for Republican Leader of the Senate.

Zelensky wife buy a 4.8 million dollar car while she and his husband asking for more money to other countries. They have no shame.

Cardin needs to go same with ratkins.

Yeah, and let's leave all our assets in Ukraine on withdrawing our support like Afghanistan. All while simultaneously continuing our approach to WWIII. What a stupid proposition it is to relinquish our strategic positionings.

8:42-- they are not asking for our soldiers. 9:41-- yes, they are asking for the financial and military support....WTH! I watched a short that was of people partying it up there, going to concerts, wearing fancy clothes, driving VERY expensive cars, again WTH?

Protesting that Biden circumvent the senate and then calling Putin a dictator. That is the level of politics in US?

Get out

Very smart.

What say you do we follow the constitution or do we just change it to meet their needs?

Money laundry, as simple as that

No tolerance for gags meriage and other stuff !.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

At 6:52 dude you talking about weaklensky and yourself

Just adjust budgetary spending to get a super majority for the House control. Overload the system with H.R.'s and Bill's to fore low the opposition's advance on any agenda's known or hidden. Keep a near or at even rate of budgetary for Senate races to keep it leveled to a fillabuster level.

Europe is in peril, go back to sleep.

Dumb Roger

All talk. No action Republicans

I happen to remember party members went to Moscow to meet with the"criminal"former intelligeince officer Colonel, Putin,who even then had the same beliefs and goals as far as the on the top of the list for corruption and violator of the rights of its minorities rights within its former borders currently under Russian Federation(the flash point of the conflict) Ukraine concern.in short Ukraine doesn't have the standards to become member of EU NATO membership nor it meets the standard of US general understanding of the core principles the United States of America stands for.What this biggus administration doing is sewing a seed for future conflicts - that's going to lead toward a direct conflict between the two or three super powers armed to their teeth with a weapons of mass destruction.

🙏🇳🇴

Get this RINO out of here.

I don't know that I agree with him here. I do not think Ukraine or its government are ideal. However, I have learned that the U.S. simply cannot apply its standards of government to other nations and cultures. Besides, if you look at our current government, we are hardly in a position to point fingers at other nations for criminal corruption.

You will never beat Russia , have you learned nothing from history ?

Why talk about it .. just do it. Gosh it seems like you rep are all talk.. even those who call themselves Christian. Start being fighter and warriors ..or get the heck out of the gov . Wow just wow

This argument is so dumb..Europe contributes 50 percent of the money towards Ukraine. Given our gdp compared to the rest it seems fair to me.

He is correct.. pull from nato..

Maybe you need to read the list of countries that are already in NATO. It will chill some of you down about Ukraine.

It looks like the US will be like Pakistan with a begging bowl.

America will be fine on her own, bet your life on it.

Cardin wants to stand by the losers

He would appease Hitler!

Apparently Mike hasn't read or heard of the Budapest memorandum and the US, UK, China, and Russia's agreement with Ukraine. We've already shown the word of the US means crap. The world benefited from the US being the world's police force as many nations didn't build nukes as they were under the US nuclear umbrella. They didn't build large armies that once built tend to need to be used for the same reasons. Japan has come to the US and requested us to grow a pair you'd think that would get the attention of people like Mike but apparently not. The reason funding Ukraine is critical as the next targets will be Moldova, Latvia, Estonia, Poland and Romania. That would get us into a direct shooting war with Russia. Finally most of the tech and missiles we're sending are pretty darn old, Bradley's are costing millions to be scrapped when its cheaper to simply send them to Ukraine to use instead of scrapping them.

vatnik's commenting

Bunch of Putin trolls here.

Keeping Putin from marching across Europe is the goal. Lee is trying to do Trump/Putin work. I condemn his comments!

This is EXACTLY what Russia wants. In a time when Russia, China, Iran and NK are forming an alliance to counter the U.S., it’s important that we have resilient alliances to counter them

Get onboard or get out of the way. Don't forget what is at stake in this election. Unite the voters for Biden & Democracy & against Trump & fascism. As long as Biden has a pulse, he has my vote. VOTE BLUE UP & Down 🌊🌊🌊
