On the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Congressman Jim Costa (CA-21) denounced Putin’s aggression and the U.S. vote against the United Nations resolution condemning Russia.
“On the 3rd anniversary of Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, I am appalled by the United States vote siding with Russia, North Korea, Iran, and other Moscow-backed nations against a UN resolution condemning Russian aggression,” said Congressman Costa. “This is a betrayal of Ukraine and of democracy itself. Putin is a war criminal, and this vote undermines our commitment to justice and global unity. It divides us and our longstanding allies. We cannot afford to stand with tyrants – supporting Ukraine is about defending freedom, but it’s about our support for democratic nations around the world. We must do better.”
Costa co-sponsored a resolution reaffirming the United States’ unwavering support for Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity as Russia’s illegal full-scale invasion of Ukraine hits its third year.
It’s about dawn time Congress grew a voice. Turning Ukraine into nothing but a business deal is an insult to decades of the defense of freedom and democracy and the sacrifices our forefathers made.
If you look into the history of the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, you find that WE – the USA – put nuclear missiles into Turkey, FIRST. The USSR responded to the threat by putting missiles in Cuba, threatening us back. Thank God that did not result in war.
Ukraine is the same thing: our CIA put forward operating bases in to trigger Russia. This opened up an incredible amount of money laundering and theft, as we sent “aid” to fund the war.
It appears to me that Jim Costa doesn’t want to see the gravy train end. Good to know.
No gravy train to ride:
“A top Senate Republican has released an FBI document detailing an allegation President Joe Biden and his son accepted bribes from a Ukrainian firm.
Chuck Grassley, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said: “The American people can now read this document for themselves.”
The unclassified memo is a June 2020 internal FBI report outlining claims by a foreign informant.
There is no evidence that Joe Biden received any payments from Ukraine.
Senior congressional Republicans have acknowledged the allegation is unverified.”

Costa is still a congressman? I haven’t heard that name in years. I find it interesting that all of a sudden he has a voice and pretends to care about the region.
