Democrat Congressman Calls For Sending ‘Tanks’ To Ukraine As U.S. Hits Debt Ceiling

On Thursday, Democrat Rep. Gregory Meeks (NY) said that the United States should be further supplying Ukraine with military aid by sending “tanks” in addition to the tens of billions of dollars the United States has already supplied the country with to fight back against the Russian invasion. 

“I think we’ve got to make sure now that we’re looking at U.S. tanks. And America has to continue to do and to lead as we have,” Meeks began. “I’ve been amazed being here in Davos talking to our allies, whether they be from NATO, the EU, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, how united the ‘Democratic world’ is, and how focused they are on making sure that we stand by Ukraine and give them what they need so that Putin knows that — that we will be there, and try to have this war won sooner rather than later”.

“I think that sooner is better than later, for sure. I’m hopeful that in the dialogue and conversation that will take place tomorrow and the next day, that we’ll get to just that point,” he added. “But I do believe that we’re at that point. We see that Putin is escalating. To see the destruction to the infrastructure of Ukraine, the continuing damage and the criminality of his actions, the death of Ukrainian people who are fighting for their own sovereignty. And so, the United States has led and everybody is appreciative of what we have done. This $2.5 billion of additional money shows the United States’ continued commitment and, yes, as I think as Putin escalates, we need to step up and make sure that we do the same thing.”

Meeks comments for additional funds to be sent to another country comes as the United States government has hit its $31.4 trillion borrowing limit as a result of excess spending.
