'Now is the time for diplomacy to play its role.' RepJayapal
Diplomacy and de-escalation are the urgent priorities; we can't risk putting out the fire with gasoline. While seemingly no one wants war, mis-calculations could lead to catastrophe between nuclear-armed behemoths.
Nobody should oversimplify the current situation. Russia-Ukraine relations and history, as well as post-Cold War triumphalism by the U.S. and NATO toward Russia, have contributed to the crisis. But diplomacy, via theor other means, needs to be the only solution on the table, not militaristic threats or increased weapons transfers.
"Diplomatic negotiations are still ongoing. We don't want to get in the way of that," Rep. Pramila Jayapal toldhost José Díaz-Balart Friday morning."We can always act quickly if we need to, but now is the time for diplomacy to play its role and for... us to really work with our NATO allies and show leadership in negotiations, not in war."
"Military solutions, as we saw with the war in Afghanistan and so many other wars—that is not the solution out of this conflict," the congresswoman added.
