Cotton, who served in the U.S. Army as an infantry officer, joined National Review executive editor Mark Wright for a wide-ranging conversation about the U.S. military. Wright asked Cotton what the U.S. can do to help Ukraine force Russia to the negotiating table. “I wish we could get the time machine to go back two years and arm Ukraine to the hilt so we wouldn’t have the invasion,” he said. “Or arm Ukraine to the hilt in February/March of last year so it wouldn’t be fighting to reclaim so much territory.” Cotton went on to suggest the U.S. should supply Ukraine with cluster munitions, “a kind of artillery that has lots of small bombs on it.” “We have an almost unlimited supply and we won’t provide it to Ukraine,” he said. “Why? well, because the progressives in the White House are worried about offending European sensibilities and people who signed the Arms Control Treaty.” “But Russia is using cluster munitions in Ukraine and Ukraine wants to use cluster munitions in Ukraine, so why would we care if they use cluster munitions in Ukraine?” the senator said. He said Ukraine also needs “longer-range missiles and rockets.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
