Houston, TX – Wesley Hunt, Houston native, former Diplomatic Liaison Officer to Saudi Arabia, and conservative candidate for Congress, issued the following statement on Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine. 

“Russia’s aggression over the past 13 months can be largely attributed to a single factor: President Biden’s weakness on the world stage. After witnessing Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal, which killed 13 of our brave American soldiers, it’s no wonder Vladimir Putin thinks invading Ukraine is an acceptable action. 

“As an ally of ours, we should do everything we can to support Ukraine, in addition to supporting all NATO members, but American bloodshed should NOT occur. Biden and our Department of Defense must ensure every single American is able to leave Ukraine unscathed. This conflict cannot be Afghanistan 2.0.

“Unfortunately, these actions by Putin are unsurprising given Joe Biden’s complete and total weakness. Biden must reverse his aloof demeanor or else Iran and North Korea will acquire a nuclear weapon, China will invade Taiwan, and the stability of the entire world will be in grave danger.

“Under President Trump, these problems were unimaginable. It’s time to take back our country, and it starts by taking back the House in 2022.”
