The Congressman wrote an op-ed that appeared in The Chicago Tribune this week addressing rising tensions with Russia on Ukraine’s eastern border. Conveying his thoughts on what the next steps ought to be, the Congressman wrote that, “We should consider the strongest possible economic and diplomatic responses to a Russian invasion — everything short of deploying U.S. combat troops in Ukraine. After our 20-year military commitment in Afghanistan, we must realize that such open-ended military action abroad can undermine our security objectives and prevent the host country from building the capacity to stand up for itself. We must not repeat that mistake, but there is much we can do short of sending U.S. troops.”
