Sen Chris Coons Shreds Pete Hegseth Over Ukraine Cuts: 'You Just Gave Putin a Win!' - Liberal Lens [View all]
Senator Chris Coons just delivered one of the most powerful foreign policy rebukes we’ve seen this year — directly confronting Secretary Pete Hegseth over a GOP proposal to eliminate all funding for Ukraine in the 2026 defense budget. As Russia intensifies attacks on Ukrainian civilians and NATO allies remain unified, why is the U.S. considering pulling back?
In this emotional and urgent hearing, Coons warns of the long-term consequences: weakened alliances, emboldened dictators, and a dangerous signal to the world that America no longer leads.
🔍 Topics Covered:
– Ukraine war funding cuts
– U.S. alliance credibility
– NATO burden-sharing myths
– The dangers of MAGA isolationism
– What “peace through strength” actually means.
🎯 If you believe in defending democracy and standing by our allies, this is a must-watch moment.
