Cong. Adam Kinzinger says if Russia invades Ukraine, it will become the biggest military conflict in Europe since World War II. He says Ukraine is more ready to fight the Russians than it was when Russia invaded Crimea. Russian leader Vladimir Putin says he wants to keep Ukraine from joining NATO. Kinzinger says Putin wants to take Ukraine as part of a plan to rebuild the Soviet Union.
Kinzinger said on WCMY’s Morning Meeting today, the U.S. can apply crippling sanctions against Russia and it should if there’s an invasion.
