McCarthy says Russia 'probably' wouldn't have invaded Ukraine if Biden administration had sent arms sooner
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Sunday suggested that the Biden administration was too slow in providing arms to Ukraine, arguing that if weaponry had been given to Kyiv sooner, then Russia "probably" wouldn't have invaded the country.
During an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," the California Republican told chief Washington correspondent Mike Emanuel that while the United States is not deploying troops to the country, the administration should have been more vigilant about sending weapons overseas.
"This is going to get stronger and rougher and what really needs to happen is, Ukraine is not asking for American men and women to fight, all they're asking for is the weapons to defend themselves," he said. "If we would have taken those actions earlier instead of waiting till after Russia invaded, they probably never would've invaded had we done that sooner."
McCarthy contended that if weapons had been transported to Ukraine earlier, then "thousands of lives" could have been spared.

Just another way of echoing Putin Propaganda that this war is all our fault.

"How can I hold that all men are created equal when here before me stands, stinking, the moral carcass of the gentleman from Ohio? Proof that some men ARE inferior, endowed by their maker with dim wits, impermeable to reason, with cold, pallid slime in their veins instead of hot, red blood! YOU are more reptile than man, George, so low and flat that the foot of man is incapable of crushing you!"
This was addressed to the dimwitted George Pendleton (from movie Lincoln) & fits mccarthy to a T

where it even helped to completely scramble any last vestiges of coherency in their party's raison d'etre at this point. - I.e., whatever Democrats say or do, then they are to say or do THE OPPOSITE. Even if it makes zero sense or contradicts some earlier policy position that they loudly espoused.
This meant, for example, that when Obama was promoting what was patterned off of the Heritage Foundation's health plan recommendations and was literally piloted as an expanded version of the GOP's "Romneycare", then since a "Democrat" advocated for it, it was "bad".
In essence, we watched as they eventually threw their god Raygun under the bus, they backed the bus up and ran over him again, and then shifted to forward, and ran over what was left. 
They moved from "anti-Russia" -
to "pro-Russia" (2018)-

They moved from neocon/pro-PNAC "World's Policemen 'promoting democracy around the world'" to rampant nationalism, and suddenly with gasbag McCarthy's latest, that position is reversing again.
