Here is the answer to the insinuation by Tucker Carlson that the Ukrainians somehow committed war crimes against their own people in Bucha. The civilians were executed when Russian forces occupied the area as shown by satellite images. Russian forces committed the war crimes. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

These satellite images show the Russian Ambassador to the U.S. is continuing to lie about Bucha and falsely blaming Ukrainians for the horrific war crimes committed by Russian forces. The U.S. should expel him immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

In light of the horrific Russian war crimes in Bucha and elsewhere, I call again for the Russian Ambassador to the U.S. to be expelled. Lithuania just expelled the Russian Ambassador. We also need to increase sanctions on Russia and provide more air assets to Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

President Biden spoke the truth when he said Putin cannot remain in power, and again when he called for war crimes trials in light of the horrors in Bucha. This of course doesn’t mean the US is sending in troops for regime change. But what @POTUS said is the truth. Deal with it. — PolitiTweet.org

@_M__D__D_ @DeptofDefense Helping Ukraine defeat Russia will deter war in the future. That’s one reason the DoD has already done a lot for Ukraine. I’m pushing them to do more. — PolitiTweet.org

@phillipemoren @DeptofDefense There are multiple ways I communicate to the Administration, including in classified briefings, unclassified briefings, official letters, phone calls and direct messages. My tweets are designed for many reasons, including to build public support for doing the right thing. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

“Over time, the United States has come to treat air superiority as a necessity…” I again urge @DeptofDefense to stop telling us that Ukraine doesn’t need the jets it has requested. DoD’s own doctrine views air superiority as crucial. Give Ukraine the air assets it needs to win. https://t.co/VPeKHvF9JK — PolitiTweet.org

The former President was, and remains, an embarrassment to the United States of America. Oh, and @nytopinion editorial board, I’m not going to coddle his views or nod politely when he says stupid shit. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@JohnMarkPirtle I’m a former military prosecutor. The U.S. military prosecutes U.S. servicemembers who engage in war crimes. A war crime requires intent or possibly extreme recklessness. Very clear in Bucha that the multiple executions of civilians are war crimes. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Russian forces committed depraved war crimes knowing Ukrainians and the world would see the images. We must respond in the military, economic and diplomatic domains, such as: -Give Ukraine ALL the weapons it has requested -Sanction ALL Russian Banks -Expel the Russian Ambassador — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Pleased to see some of our NATO allies, such as the U.K., making the decision to win. After the horrific video and images of Russian war crimes in Bucha and elsewhere, all NATO Members need to make the decision to win. That means to #GiveUkraineEVERYTHING. — PolitiTweet.org

The horrific and depraved Russian war crimes in Bucha and elsewhere demand a response. Here are some actions we should take: -Kick out the Russian Ambassador to the U.S. -Sanction all Russian banks, not just some. -Give the Ukrainians all weapons platforms they have requested. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@Heather00067433 I agree with you. We should send Ukraine the aircraft they have requested. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Calling these brazen executions of civilians in Bucha a war crime would be an understatement. The U.S. and NATO must now provide all the weapons Ukraine has requested. Everything. The best response to these sub-human actions by Russian forces is to help the Ukrainians kill them. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

While I generally agree with the below points, I note it is the Ukrainian Air Force (@KpsZSU) that is asking for more advanced air assets. I again urge @DeptofDefense to NOT UNDERESTIMATE the will, skill or ability of the Ukrainians to learn. Don’t make the same mistake twice. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

What is one of the first actions the US military takes when fighting an opposing military? Establish air superiority. I urge @DeptofDefense to apply the same standards if it was our military in the same situation as the Ukrainians. Give Ukraine the air assets it needs to win. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m forwarding this article to help @CawthornforNC not get silenced. I will continue to promote to the public statements by Madison Cawthorn, along with articles about his comments. I note that Madison Cawthorn continues to be supported by the former President and the GOP base. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Thank you @POTUS. Providing Ukraine with the weapons they need to defeat Russian forces in eastern and southern Ukraine is what will get Putin to the peace table. #GiveUkraineEVERYTHING — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Ukraine is about to get 56 lethal PBV-501 armored vehicles from Germany via the Czech Republic. (Picture below). @DeptofDefense is simply wrong when they tell us that providing Ukraine less than 30 older version MiGs would somehow be more escalatory. #GiveUkraineEVERYTHING https://t.co/cWkkqfVhpm — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@cxrhartt @DeptofDefense It’s technically a Pbv-501. Here’s what it looks like: https://t.co/02Isk18ab4 — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

I again urge the @DeptofDefense to adopt a more realistic view of escalation. Putin is not going to launch a nuclear war because Ukraine got some fighter jets. And certainly giving Ukraine fighter jets is no more “high risk” than giving them combat tanks. #GiveUkraineEVERYTHING — PolitiTweet.org

Finally some good news in Yemen. I hope the truce holds. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Stopping Russian forces from conquering Kyiv was a monumental accomplishment. But that does not get Putin to the negotiating table. Pushing Russian forces out of eastern and southern Ukraine is what will get Putin to the negotiating table. #GiveUkraineEVERYTHING — PolitiTweet.org
