Sen Blunt Slams Commie China: You Don't 'Threaten Freedom'

It's no secret that Russian President Vladimir Putin thought overthrowing Ukraine was going to be easy but the KGB agents didn't take into account the patriot will of the Ukrainian people. Putin's military has already been all but exhausted with 85% of his troops in Ukraine already and still fighting.

Senator Roy Blunt (R-MO) said Russia and China need to pay attention because this is what happens when you threaten freedom.

"This is a big mistake for Putin, and he needs to figure out how to back away from that mistake," Blunt told host Bret Baier. The senator said Russia's failure in Ukraine to land a significant win as they did during the Crimean war was a sign for China.

"The Chinese need to be watching that as well," he said. The world is not as docile as either the Russians or the Chinese think they are. And we're seeing how much people prize their own freedom."

Blunt also urged lawmakers not to be afraid of Russia:

"There's a buildup that started when in 2014 the Russians were able to just seize territory in Eastern Ukraine and in and seize the Crimea region," he said.

"I think we can't be intimidated by what Putin says he might do. There are things he can't do as well. You know, he doesn't want to start a nuclear war. He may use chemical weapons. I think he's done that before, but we can't build our policy around that."

"I think our policy is to continue to give the Ukrainians everything they need as quick as we can get it to them. They're not asking us to help them fight. They're asking us to give them what they need to fight. And so far they've been doing a tremendous job of pushing back."

Watch

Ukraine has received some aid from other countries but as far as fighters, it has been just them against the much larger Russian military. It's by their own fierce will, that Putin now looks like a fool with a decrepit military. A sort of modern-day David and Goliath.
