Senator Ron Johnson

You certainly ask interesting questions.

Well, again, I really will let that up to the president.

When he wants that as a backstop to put pressure on Putin, I think that's what we'll act.

Well, my guess is he's getting pretty disgusted with dealing with Vladimir Putin.

He's giving him every opportunity to end up with a peaceful solution here, dangled economic benefits in front of him, obviously threatened sanctions.

Again, this president wants peace.

I think if there's a hallmark to his administration, even his previous administration, he's not a wartime president.

He wants peace.

Now, he used and achieved peace through strength, but in the end, he wants peace, and he's doggedly pursuing it.

Yeah, I think that meeting is canceled because Vladimir Putin keeps lobbying missiles, more than lobbying, launching missiles into Ukraine.

He apparently hit a kindergarten earlier today.

Again, Vladimir Putin's a war criminal.

There's no reason for him to invade Ukraine.

The fact of the matter is he's not going to lose this war, though.

You've got to recognize that reality.

The only way this war ends is through a negotiated settlement.

We're not going to like the terms of that, but like even worse, the...

the bloody stalemate that we're in right now where we're losing thousands of people on both sides a week.

It's just untenable.

What would be a much better idea would be just pass my Eliminate Shutdowns Act.
