Kinzinger is equally outspoken about his support for Ukraine. He is the first and only sitting U.S. legislator to enlist in 'NAFO', an increasingly influential online army of activists who savagely mock pro-Kremlin trolls and Russian diplomats on Twitter.
“If you want to be part of the resistance against Russian disinformation,” Rep. Adam Kinzinger said, “join the fellas.”
“This will be a marker in history in terms of countering a hostile state’s lies and propaganda,” Kinzinger said of NAFO. “I’d love it if we could do that with op-eds in the Wall Street Journal and New York Times. But it’s a meme world. Trump was elected on memes, and now NAFO is using that weapon brilliantly against the Russians.”
“There’s this expectation that we’re going to announce charges against Trump,” he said. “That’s not our job. This committee — we’ve proven our case, done our job. Now the torch is handed to the [Department of Justice].” A member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, he’s been pleasantly surprised at Western resolve on continuing military support for Ukraine even in the face of Vladimir Putin’s latest mobilization order and continued nuclear blackmail. Ukraine’scounteroffensive in Kharkiv, in the northeast, in which it has so far recaptured more than 1,428 square miles of terrain in weeks, has been a shot in the arm, particularly for Europe.
One result of the war, he said, is that it’s a windfall for U.S. and NATO intelligence about Russia’s true capabilities and will dramatically alter, if not upend, some of the core strategic assumptions of the past several decades.
