This is why @POTUS’s budget isn’t going to cut it when it comes to taking on China. We need to adequately resource our military – with real growth in the defense budget. If we choose to sit on the sidelines, it becomes more likely military deterrence against China will fail. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

A lot of people don’t think China is a problem – they think none of their weapons are as good as ours. That was true in 1990 and 2000 – but it’s not true now. They have the tools to beat us. https://t.co/m54lm08Fsb — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

China is also increasing their fleet of fifth-generation aircraft, expanding their weapons arsenal, and doubling their nuclear weapons stockpile. They’re charging ahead in just about every area. https://t.co/Rfa2q9u0SL — PolitiTweet.org

China has a 355-ship Navy. They achieved that last year, while we were just talking about it, and they are on track to get to 460 ships by 2030. By comparison, our Navy is around 300 ships and is likely to stay there if our defense budget doesn’t grow. https://t.co/BpHoSonddB — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

I don’t think people understand what we’re up against when it comes to China. They’ve had what @LTGHRMcMaster called the “largest peacetime military buildup in history.” Here’s what they’ve spent all that money on ↓ https://t.co/6q2i94LmQY — PolitiTweet.org

Cheers to 113 years of the @USArmyReserve! To the nearly 200K who serve, and to all who have served over the last century-plus – we salute you and your service. https://t.co/QXW2VkzYXR — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Thorpe will be remembered as one of the greatest athletes of all time. It is time we restored the truth and the Thorpe legacy. That’s why I am introducing this resolution today alongside my fellow Oklahoma delegation members. Read more below. https://t.co/Dt727t0Upv — PolitiTweet.org

The 2015 Paris Climate Agreement allowed the world’s biggest polluters a free pass while sacrificing American manufacturing jobs. The Biden admin plans to build upon this failed agreement. Our legislation would hold these countries to the same standard as the U.S. Read more ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

The Biden infrastructure plan—of which only 5% of funding actually goes to roads & bridges—doesn't keep Oklahomans best interests in mind. The Republican Roadmap puts forward a commonsense, bipartisan solution to tackle real-world problems. This is what the American people want. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

I also asked @CENTCOM Commander Gen. McKenzie if there are plans in place to protect the U.S. embassy and personnel in Afghanistan if U.S. troops withdraw as @POTUS has announced. I'm glad to hear this is a priority. https://t.co/ock8XbeRo8 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Africa is 3.5x the size of our country, and we deal with both terrorist organizations and China there. But we don’t have a lot of assets or protection there. I asked @USAfricaCommand Gen. Townsend to outline his top resource priorities for the continent. https://t.co/wSTiOg1hdk — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

We need to have both the posture and resources in place to defend U.S. interests. Today I asked GEN McKenzie of @CENTCOM & Gen. Townsend of @USAfricaCommand if our “over the horizon” strategy makes their jobs harder. They said yes – but it’s not impossible. https://t.co/NlxPiacFnO — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

The Biden admin is proving they are against Oklahoma. The Interior Department said today it will continue its pause on new oil and gas lease sales through the end of June. One in five Oklahoma jobs is tied to the energy industry. This decision is bad for Oklahoma and America. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Together we will push back against the Biden admin’s insufficient topline defense proposal so we can continue to ensure our service members have the training, resources & equipment they need to complete the mission and return home safely–not to mention support for their families. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Today the Senate Republican Conference overwhelmingly affirmed our constitutional responsibility: defending America is a top priority. https://t.co/P2PPK4EYBK — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

I can and have supported many nominees whose policy views differ from mine. Because I trust that, while we may disagree, they understand we’re all trying to do the right thing. I don’t have that trust in Colin Kahl. https://t.co/ec8OD48zIl — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

The Constitution is clear: defending America is supposed to be a top priority. The Biden admin’s budget proposal did not include sufficient defense spending in line with the need for real growth articulated by the bipartisan 2018 National Defense Strategy Commission report. ⬇️ https://t.co/yR7mEZWIIA — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

When it comes to national defense, the Indo-Pacific is our priority theater, and I’m glad the Senate voted to confirm ADM Aquilino to lead @INDOPACOM today. He is the right leader to defend against China and implement our National Defense Strategy. I am grateful for his service. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Today's briefing on Afghanistan gave me no reason to believe that a full U.S. withdrawal will improve or resolve any security challenge, and I am even more concerned that it will make the existing threats worse. I strongly oppose this ill-advised policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

When it comes to China, there are two big reasons we need to make sure our budget matches our strategy: 1) China is spending more on their military than ever before. 2) As a result, the military balance of power is starting to swing in their favor. https://t.co/COtcSHM7oY — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

.@US_stratcom ADM Richard made it clear today: For the first time in history, we’re facing two nuclear-capable adversaries, China and Russia.   What it’s going to take to deter those adversaries is a modernized nuclear deterrent – now. https://t.co/syhaYhJlpt — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

If we are directing the Department of Justice to expedite the review of certain hate crimes, the murder of unborn babies on the basis of their race, sex, disability and more must be included. That’s why I am introducing this amendment alongside @SenatorLankford and @SteveDaines. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Global threats are rising. Our troops’ missions have increased. But U.S. military spending was cut by $400 billion over the past decade - and @potus is continuing that downward trend with his first budget. It’s short-sighted to shortchange our national defense. — PolitiTweet.org

This is some great news! https://t.co/C4wZ32KEsZ — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks the 26th anniversary of the worst domestic terrorist attack in history: the Oklahoma City Bombing. Join me as #WeRemember the victims, their families and loved ones as well as extend our thanks to all the first responders who were forever changed by April 19, 1995. https://t.co/5U6YYOlOrd — PolitiTweet.org

To all of my Democrat colleagues who support Biden’s failed immigration strategy, we can do better than this. These are real problems that need real solutions. We can work together to make them a reality. https://t.co/6CqlGUwAjG — PolitiTweet.org

We need to get back to building the wall along the southern border, &we need to close the loopholes that illegal aliens use to come into this country. Smugglers &illegal aliens use false claims of asylum to gain entry to the U.S. That must be stopped. https://t.co/6CqlGUwAjG — PolitiTweet.org
