Congresswoman Nancy Mace joined Shannon Bream on Fox News at Night this week to discuss Russia’s likely invasion of Ukraine.
Rep Mace responded to a Wall Street Journal editorial board opinion piece stating that “… the Russian has never been deterred before by Western restraint, and he may see [new sanctions] as more weakness…,” saying:
“Certainly over the last few years unilateral sanctions against Russia have not worked, and when President Biden says he’s going toe-to-toe with Putin, it feels more like he’s playing footsie… Our botched withdrawal from Afghanistan — the shameful withdrawal from Afghanistan — was a catalyst I believe for Putin’s build-up of forces along the Ukranian border.”
Congresswoman Mace continued, saying, “I’m seeing this first-hand, because I have family who have been deployed because of what we’re seeing over there. I don’t think it’s worth one drop of American blood on Ukranian soil over this issue.”
