I talked to Deputy Secretary Wendy Sherman prior to her negotiations that. You know, you have to put things on the table, like sanctions. You have to talk about more arms sales, weapon sales to Ukraine, and this Nord Stream.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>He continued, \u201cI think you\u2019re going to see this play out very quickly. Rather than threatening after an invasion takes place, we ought to be providing deterrents before an invasion takes place.

I do because I think Putin again smells weakness here. He knows that if he\u2019s ever going to invade Ukraine, now is the time. I hope he doesn\u2019t make that miscalculation, but the fact is, if he does invade Ukraine, what is the United States, what is our commander in chief prepared to do to stop it? I\u2019m not seeing a lot of details or action that could deter him from that critical step. This would be the largest invasion in Europe since World War II. That\u2019s how big of a deal this is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Pam Key on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pamkeyNEN\">@pamkeyNEN<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Representative\u00a0Michael McCaul (R-TX) said Sunday on CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union\u201d that the United States was in a \u201cnew cold war\u201d with Russia.
