Senator Ted Cruz spoke with Joe ‘Pags’ Pagliarulo this week to give some straight answers on Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and the Biden Administration’s disastrous foreign policy.

“Could we have averted Russia going into Ukraine? Is there something Biden could have done?”  asked Pags.

“Absolutely, yes. This is the direct result of two mistakes Joe Biden made. One, was the disastrous withdrawal in Afghanistan. Every enemy of America looked to Washington and they took the measure of Joe Biden. They determined he was weak and ineffective,” said Cruz.

“The second mistake was specific to Russia… Putin stopped building Nord Stream 2 the day President Trump signed my sanction legislation. Then Joe Biden became President,” he added.
