QUESTION: Ukraine’s another issue that’s got the party divided.
SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah.
QUESTION: You’ve got a lot – I’m just sticking with the Republicans now, because there’s a whole other debate with the other side of the aisle – but who say no, Putin’s a bad actor; Russia’s a growing threat, and we’re doing the right thing by backing Ukraine. And I would say the majority of Republicans now are against that viewpoint and think we’ve lost – we’ve spent too much. It’s anyplace from 105 billion to 187 billion. And they’ve lost. We just have to be realistic about the fact that Ukraine has lost; it’s not going to gain back any of this ground. And we need a negotiated settlement now before we keep throwing good money after bad, and we can’t afford it. We’ve got Americans who are suffering now. I think that’s the majority view even on the Republican side now.

Meanwhile Ukraine is being set back 100 years; their energy grid is being wiped out. I mean, someone’s going to have to pay for all this reconstruction after the fact. And how many Ukrainians have left Ukraine, living in other countries now? They may never return. I mean, that’s their future, and it’s in danger in that regard.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
"We just have to be realistic about the fact that Ukraine has lost; it’s not going to gain back any of this ground."
Is that clear enough for neocons and Zeepers?
