Significant voices raised calling for US Deal with Putin to be blocked. Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act is to be launched in Congress by two Republican Congressmen. A third senior Republican says "lifting of sanctions on Russian oil will only fund the Kremlin’s war machine" Writing in @thehill – @mirabhakta says GOP lawmakers reject US-Russia diesel deal, Trump’s Zelensky comments… Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick @RepBrianFitz (R-Pa.) unveiled a bipartisan bill on Saturday that he says would block the lifting of sanctions, called the Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act. Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.)@RepDonBacon already signed on as a co-sponsor. See: xitter.cf/RepBrianFitz/status/21… Cong.Fitzpatrick says Ukrainian President Zelensky @ZelenskyyUa "has the overwhelming support of the United States Congress, he has the overwhelming support of the American people, and he has the overwhelming support of the Ukrainian people." Bhkta writes: "Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas),@RepMcCaul former Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, stated he was `concerned the lifting of sanctions on Russian oil will only fund the Kremlin’s war machine—emboldening more violence and destruction, as we have seen in recent days.’ "He added that Congress already passed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act which `gave the president significant authorities and leverage against China and Russia to bring Putin’s war to an end with a negotiated settlement.’ "In September, Trump signed the act, calling for the president to impose tariffs of up to 100 percent on the top five purchasers of Russian energy or on countries helping the Kremlin evade sanctions. "Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) similarly expressed on social platform X that Trump `should be using those authorities instead of allowing Russia to export diesel, rake in revenues, and continue its catastrophic war in Ukraine.’ `We can discuss Russia’s return to global energy markets once the war is over, but in the meantime, we need to cut off everything fueling it,’ she said.” As a young parliamentarian I was present to hear Ronald Reagan's brilliant speech to the @UKParliament. Funding the Kremlin's war machine is the polar opposite of Reagan's unflinching opposition to dictatorship. Progress and peace was achieved through strength, consistency, formidable international alliances, and wisdom. Globally, many Parliamentarians from diverse democratic jurisdictions, will be expressing support for their Congressional colleagues and expressing their backing for the Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act.
