Senate Republicans continue to agitate for further conflict with Russia as Americans honor those who served on Memorial Day weekend. The White House reportedly had concerns that providing these rockets to Ukraine could result in Ukraine firing the missile into Russian territory and escalate the conflict. Rebekah Koffler, a former Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) officer, said that giving Ukraine those systems could invite serious risk. Senate Republicans have continued to ask for these “advanced weapons” so that Ukraine can allegedly defend itself, even though the MLRS missile system would go far beyond Ukraine’s territory. Rob Portman (R-OH), who is retiring at the end of this term, discussed the alleged need to provide Ukraine these advanced missile systems.
