Manchin makes Biden look silly with common sense | Eastern NC Now

Manchin was on “Meet the Press” with Chuck Todd on Sunday.

First, Manchin said he wouldn’t take things off the table, like the no-fly zone. Now, that doesn’t mean that he was advocating for it. But we saw with Joe Biden, when he took things off the table – such as troops – Vladimir Putin knew he had nothing to worry about, and that likely added into his calculus that he could invade without the only real consequences he was concerned about. While Manchin was not advocating involvement in a no-fly zone, he said we should provide Ukraine with what they needed to defend themselves. Given that we talked them out of their nuclear weapons and a lot of conventional weapons to enter into a security agreement in 1994, that’s something we can do that keeps our word without escalating the conflict.

Then Manchin dealt with the question of why we are still buying Russian oil.
