Hawley calling on Biden admin to drop support for Ukraine's eventual membership in NATO: reportSen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) is urging the Biden administration to drop any U.S. support for Ukrainian membership in NATO, arguing that such a move would not support U.S. interests and distracts the country from focusing on China's growing influence in the Indo-Pacific, Axios reported.
The news outlet obtained a copy of a letter that Hawley sent to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and copied to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin asking for "clarity about the Biden administration's support for Ukraine's prospective membership in NATO."
The Missouri senator said "it is not clear that Ukraine's accession would serve U.S. interests." He noted that the global context has changed since statements made during a 2008 Bucharest summit in which the U.S. and others voiced their support for prospective NATO memberships for Ukraine and Georgia.
"Today, an increasingly powerful China seeks hegemony in the Indo-Pacific. If China succeeds, it could harness that region's resources to further propel its rise, while restricting U.S. access to many of the world's most important markets. Americans' security and prosperity rest upon our ability to keep that from happening, and so the United States must shift resources to the Indo-Pacific to deny China's bid for regional domination," Hawley wrote.

Psaki accuses Hawley of 'parroting Russian talking points'
White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Wednesday accused Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and other conservatives of "parroting Russian talking points" amid the looming threat of conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Psaki was asked to respond to Hawley's call for the Biden administration to abandon support for Ukraine's eventual admission to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), arguing it would not be in U.S. interests to be bound to defend Ukraine militarily.
"If you are digesting Russian misinformation and parroting Russian talking points you are not aligned with longstanding bipartisan American values, which is to stand up for the sovereignty of countries like Ukraine, but others," Psaki said at a press briefing.
"Their right to choose their own alliances, and also to stand against, very clearly, the efforts, or attempts or potential attempts by any country to invade and take territory of another country," she continued. "That applies to Sen. Hawley, but it also applies to others who may be parroting the talking points of Russian propagandist leaders."

(107,844 posts)1. HuffPost GOP Rep Slams Sen. Josh Hawley As 'One Of The Worst Human Beings'
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.) has apparently had enough of Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley ― and doesnt care who knows what he thinks of his fellow Republican.
Spoiler alert: Its not very nice.
On Wednesday, Hawley criticized President Joe Bidens decision to order troops to Europe as Russia increases its military presence on its border with Ukraine. At the same time, the senator asked the White House to drop U.S. support for Ukraine joining NATO, according to The Hill.
Kinzinger wasnt impressed by Hawleys suggestion that America not support its ally, especially considering that he serves on the Jan. 6 select committee, while Hawley was seen raising his fist in solidarity towards a crowd of Donald Trump supporters ahead of the U.S. Capitol attack on Jan. 6.
