Gallagher (R-WI) has always leaned NeoCon although he's been smart enough to move toward America First positions in the last several months. After all, there's an election coming up.
Yesterday, he came up with a word salad on Ukraine.
..."People on the ground in Ukraine, who are fighting for their lives in most cases, they're not asking us to sanction the Russians," Gallagher said. "They're not asking us for help. They're asking us for hard power. They're asking us for javelins, for stingers, for anti-tank mines. Thus far, the administration has not been willing to move with any urgency on that front."...
FedGov "urgency" only pops up when the DC Deep State feels threatened, Congressman. Then they shoot to kill.
But 'hard power' weapons systems are not all that Gallagher favors. After mention of the 7,000 troops Bai-Den is sending, Gallagher had this to say:
..."I like the idea of fortifying NATO, but we really need to be fortifying NATO's eastern front, particularly the Baltic states and Poland. One thing I would urge this administration to do is to deploy intermediate-range ground launch ballistic missile systems to the front line states of NATO, which would get Putin's attention."...Maybe Gallagher would send his kids over there to defend Ukraine?
Wanna bet?
