Republicans Blister Lindsey Graham's Bipartisan Resolution In Support Of Ukraine Admission To NATO

  He took to Twitter to tout his plans to push a bipartisan resolution urging the admission of Ukraine into NATO, as its brutal war with Russia continues to rage.

I will be working with Republicans and Democrats in the Senate to pass a resolution urging the admission of Ukraine into NATO. The best way to prevent future wars and promote peace is to create security guarantees that make aggressor nations think twice before starting wars.

While I won't offer an opinion on the wisdom-or lack thereof-of admitting Ukraine to NATO while the violent war continues, I will suggest it would be a risk, at best, particularly in light of recent troubling development.

The salient question remains: Is Ukraine "Someone else's war," or will the war's outcome have an impact on U.S. security?

Expansion of NATO, a Cold War relic, led to the rise of Putin, also a Cold War relic, culminating in the invasion of Ukraine.

Seems to me that some might support Ukraine's eventual admission to NATO but oppose it while the war continues.

DeSantis's reference to the war as a "Territorial dispute," which he later tried to walk back, didn't sit well with a number of fellow Republicans who saw the Florida governor's characterization of the brutal war as dismissive.
