Sen. Johnson Questions US Foreign Policy in Ukraine, Calls for Realism
- Republican Senator Ron Johnson said the US has covertly overturned many foreign governments, questioning the net result
- Johnson criticized Biden for prolonging a "lost cause" in Ukraine, unwilling to admit foreign policy failures in trying to weaken Russia
- Johnson said Zelensky wanted peace with Russia in 2019, aware Ukraine couldn't retake Crimea; Biden undermined negotiations
- Johnson argued the 2014 Ukraine coup helped destroy the country; decades of regime change have poorly served Americans
- Johnson said the proxy war strategy has failed in Ukraine and pumping more money into a bloody stalemate is fantasy, not facing reality
