I led Congress in creating the Pacific Deterrence Initiative to help improve our military posture in that region. As long as we resource it properly, it could be a game changer in long-term competition against China as well. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

We need to think long and hard about our deterrence efforts in Europe and around the world. As @US_EUCOM CDR Gen. Wolters said yesterday, the European Deterrence Initiative has been a game-changer in supporting Ukraine & our NATO allies over last month. https://t.co/2Xob6TFdEZ — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

This is exactly what @RepMikeRogersAL & I have been saying. Cutting key capabilities like the sea-launched cruise missile shows that this administration is unable to confront the dangerous reality of strategic threats we face. Why doesn’t @POTUS listen to his military experts? — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

For the 2nd year, @POTUS submitted a defense budget w/o adequate growth above inflation. @RepMikeRogersAL & I asked the Admin for detailed info to better understand how inflation is affecting @DeptofDefense’s buying power.

It was great to finally have the opportunity to meet in person again with @okstate students from @OKYouthExpo's Oklahoma Agricultural Leadership Encounter. This is a bright group of agricultural students with great futures ahead of them. https://t.co/ukmlkG4JKe — PolitiTweet.org

Today, on #VietnamWarVeteransDay, we remember and honor the 9 million Americans who earned the title of U.S. veteran during the Vietnam War. We remain forever grateful to those who served and sacrificed on behalf of our nation. https://t.co/JmCBbQFnjN — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Historic inflation rates driven by @POTUS’s policies are hurting our troops, just like every other U.S. family. Inflation is also driving up key military needs like fuel, labor & supplies. Congress needs more transparency on inflation so we can give our military what it needs. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

With increasingly capable Chinese and Russian submarines on patrol more often, the effect of canceling the fatally flawed LCS ASW package is at least an 11-year gap in ASW frigates. Another unacceptable Navy acquisition debacle.  https://t.co/IjUUwS3y5B — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

What’s worse than @POTUS's budget only proposing to build 9 Navy warships (while retiring 24)? One of these new ships double-counts a ship previously authorized by Congress (and doing so is a violation of law). — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

The @USNavy says we need at least 355 battle force ships to counter future threats from China & Russia. @POTUS’s budget takes a step backward – decommissioning 24 while building just 8 new ones. This puts us on track to a SMALLER Navy fleet over the next 5 years. Illogical. https://t.co/KPB8R5XGl3 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Received the classified 2022 National Defense Strategy (NDS). I look forward to reviewing it and the forthcoming unclassified version. The world is more dangerous than it was when the last NDS came out - so we need to make sure our budget matches the strategy and threats. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

President Biden’s defense budget reflects the world he wishes for — but not the world as it is. Unfortunately, it falls far short of where we need to be to confront all the threats we face. My full statement ➡️ https://t.co/8XSaQPQvCA https://t.co/wk8oO08Ejq — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

What’s happening at the border is a crisis, and I’m concerned it’s going to get worse. ICYMI - Yesterday, we learned that @DHSgov is requesting additional @DeptofDefense support at the southwest border. Good. https://t.co/A8IXL8DCaj — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

This week, the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists attacked Saudi oil facilities multiple times. The Biden admin must: - Stand with our Saudi partners and help them counter this threat. - Redesignate the Houthis as terrorists. - Not lift sanctions on the IRGC, which aids the Houthis. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

My statement w/ @RepMikeRogersAL in response to @POTUS’s reported decision to cut key U.S. nuke modernization programs - another example of this admin’s inability to confront the dangerous reality of the strategic threats facing us and our allies. ⬇️ https://t.co/YIEcozCpvY — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

American families have been feeling the effects of inflation for months already – before Russia invaded Ukraine.   It’s also affecting @DeptofDefense’s buying power. We need to be realistic about the cost of military operations, logistics & personnel under this admin’s policies. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Congress gave @POTUS $3B to send additional weapons & equipment to Ukraine — an unprecedented amount of authority. Such a crisis certainly merits it.   @POTUS should use ALL of this authority NOW. There’s no reason not to — and there’s no more time to waste. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Remember how much Democrats criticized President Trump for sending the National Guard to the border? Well, it worked. Now, under President Biden, we've had 12 straight months of +150K illegal immigrants stopped at the border. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

🚨 This is a big deal→ General VanHerck of @USNorthernCommand just confirmed that the Biden administration is working on a NEW request for additional @DeptofDefense support at the southern border - finally admitting just how bad things are. https://t.co/WmDl5XFOfm — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

North Korea’s likely first ICBM test since 2017 is another example of how dangerous our world is becoming. @POTUS’s upcoming Nuclear Posture Review needs to accept the reality of these threats and endorse a strong, flexible U.S. deterrent. https://t.co/w3oMoxmYUc — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Every American has been paying the price at the pump for the Biden administration's anti-American energy policies. Watch my full exchange with witnesses at today's @EPWGOP hearing at the link below ⬇️ https://t.co/vLYexXo6OX https://t.co/9VQbsepuOq — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Today marks one month since @POTUS's deterrence efforts failed & Putin began his unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. Ukrainians have been fighting tirelessly ever since. The U.S. can and must send more military aid. There’s no sense in delaying now. “Just in time” will be too late. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Broad recognition from @DeptofDefense nominees that @USNavy shipbuilding, ship repair, and engineering centers are underfunded. Congress must come together to make these critical investments, because @POTUS' business as usual won’t cut it. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

I led 40 of my @SASCGOP & @HASCRepublicans colleagues in a letter to @POTUS urging him to request a 5% increase ABOVE inflation for national defense in this year's budget. If we don't make these investments today, we will not be able to defend our nation or allies in the future. https://t.co/yA91OZziiA — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

As @POTUS dragged his feet on aid to Ukraine, the only thing he made clear was what he would NOT do to respond to Russia. We need to send clear signals to both allies and adversaries--which is why I've argued to send more lethal aid to Ukraine for years https://t.co/Cg3LKGNuRT — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Ensuring Oklahoma children have a quality education from kindergarten to high school is vital. I am glad to introduce the Advancing Toward Impact Aid Full Funding Act to fully fund Impact Aid and support K-12 education across Oklahoma and our nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

As @POTUS nominee for Pentagon acquisition chief told @SASCGOP this AM, the capacity of our defense industrial base is a deterrent of its own. We must move swiftly to expand production capacity for key munitions not only for ourselves, but for our allies. https://t.co/tCUBvXKUuN — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

I can remember when it was unquestionable that the U.S. had the best of everything, and we don’t anymore. Today I questioned 2 key DOD nominees about how they will help address readiness challenges & keep our military on the cutting edge. Watch here ↓ https://t.co/j7N52CfSiv — PolitiTweet.org
