The Russian invasion of Ukraine has led most of Europe, including other parts of the world, to band together in condemning Vladimir Putin’s attempt to take over Kyiv. US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reaffirmed her support for Ukraine while stressing that the ongoing crisis will not bring the rest of the world into another world war.
Speaking at the University of California Berkley, Pelosi reaffirmed the US’s support for Ukraine but stressed that there is no direct involvement for the US. Pelosi was at the university to tout the research lab and promote the COMPETES Act that will make investments in US computer chip manufacturing.
“We are not going in,” said Pelosi. “Putin is not going to provoke the world, NATO, and the rest of us into World War III.”
The previous day in San Francisco, Pelosi made similar comments but also ripped into Putin, calling the Russian dictator “an evil person doing bad things.” The House Speaker also reaffirmed her support towards imposing harsh economic sanctions against Russia in response to its military operations and that no other course of action is needed.
“No,” said Pelosi. “I think we’re very blessed to have this president with his knowledge of foreign affairs, his understanding of the personalities that he has to deal with. And what the president said today is to ratchet it up and that’s what he’s doing and the package is very, very, devastating to Russia.”
Many countries have announced to impose penalties on Putin and Russia following the invasion into Ukraine, from barring any Russian media outlets to seizing assets from Russia’s wealthiest with ties to the Kremlin.
In other related news, a Capitol insurrectionist, Adam Johnson, who became infamous for stealing Pelosi’s lectern, was recently sentenced to 75 days in prison. US District Court Judge Reggie B. Walton said that Johnson made “a mockery” of the events of January 6 and that Johnson’s behavior could not be overlooked and thus deserved to be incarcerated for a period of time.
Johnson will get credit for the time he has already served so far and will pay a $5,000 fine.
