GOP Senator Would Have Started War with Russia

Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-GA), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told Georgia Public Radio that the United States “should really have physically gone in” to Ukraine after it was invaded by Russia because of Washington’s NATO commitments.

Said Isakson: “You know, when Crimea was invaded by the Russians, and later the Ukraine, under Article 5, we really should have physically gone in to their aid. We didn’t because we’re stretched too thin. But NATO’s an important part of our national defense and the defense of our own country.”
