Senator Tom Tuberville called for officials in Ukraine and Russia to negotiate and bring an end to the war that is drains so much money from American taxpayers.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., of the Armed Services Committee warned Monday that the war in Ukraine is "costing American taxpayers an arm and a leg," and declared, "We have to get this conflict over with." "Right now would be a great time to negotiate over in Ukraine and Moscow to get this thing stopped, because they pretty much have a stalemate as we speak," Tuberville said on "Kudlow." There’s not going to be a lot of fighting happening.
Tuberville made a key distinction that he supports defending the national security of the United States itself as well, warning the conflict in Israel may be a harbinger of attacks in America. "Now I’m also for giving money, but I’m also closing our border, because Larry, the first thing that we should have done as soon as this happened is close our borders," he said. "There are over 2-300,000 Middle Eastern people that have crossed that border in the last two-and-a-half years.
