Former Vice President Mike Pence is urging Republicans in Congress to back Ukraine in a effort to fend off China's advances and its expanding relationship with Russia and other top U.S. threats.
FIRST ON FOX - In a bid to urge fellow members of the Republican Party to unite behind Ukraine, former Vice President Mike Pence is hitting back on the GOP’s opposition to continued U.S. support for Kyiv in its war against Russia. The number one reason Pence argues the GOP should back Ukraine is also the party's chief argument against continued support – China.
However, China is not the only concern some in the GOP have floated when it comes to continued Ukrainian support. Concerns over U.S. border security and the massive debt Washington faces have also been routinely cited as major issues, prompting some to opt out of supporting Kyiv. 'Securing the border is primarily an issue of willpower, not a $$$ problem,' Pence said, claiming that Putin in the past has 'weaponized refugees' and he could do it again if he isn’t stopped in Ukraine.
The memo pointed out that the U.S. has used just 1.5 % of its federal budget to defend Ukraine and to 'degrad the Russian military from the second best in the world to the second best in Ukraine.' 'The cost of a Russian attack on a NATO ally, who we are treaty-bound to defend, would quickly exceed 1.5% of the federal budget,' he added. 'It is in America’s best interests for Ukraine to win the war.
