Nikki Haley: ‘Keep in Mind, Less Than 5% Of Our Defense Budget Has Gone to Ukraine’

EXCERPT:

HALEY: "I too am worried about the domestic situation and inflation. I mean, Republicans and Democrats have spent like drunken sailors and the Americans are paying the price for it at the grocery store and at the gas station. But keep in mind, less than 5% of our defense budget has gone to Ukraine. And remember that a win for Russia is a win for China. America always needs to have moral clarity; moral clarity on being able to tell the difference between right and wrong; moral clarity on the difference between good and evil. When you look at the fact — listen to what dictators say. Russia said, after they take Ukraine, Poland and the Baltics are next. That creates a world war. That’s what we’re trying to prevent. This is not about troops on the ground. This is not about cash on the ground. This is about making sure they have the equipment and the ammunition to win. And when Ukraine wins, that sends the biggest message to China on taking Taiwan. It sends the biggest message to Iran wanting to build a bomb. And it sends a biggest message to North Korea testing ballistic missiles. American strength has always been a good thing. And when America is strong, the world is more safe."
