Republican minority leader Kevin McCarthy points an accusing finger at U.S. President Joe Biden, saying that the mistakes and weaknesses that he demonstrated led Putin to invading Ukraine without fear.
In an interview with Israel Hayom, McCarthy, who is currently touring Israel with 30 new congressmen from his party, said: "If a Republican government were currently in power, the current crisis in Ukraine would not have occurred."
The senior Republican official also sharply attacked the Biden administration's intention to return to the nuclear deal with Iran, saying it endangers world peace. "A Republican government would never support the nuclear deal because it allows Iran to acquire nuclear weapons. And any ability to give Iran nuclear weapons, not only endangers Israel and America, it endangers the world. And the world knows it. We know what the world will look like if Iran has that power. "
