The former president elaborated on the challenges facing Russia as a result of the ongoing war. “I think, Russia is kinda in big trouble. You take a look at their economy, you take a look at their inflation in Russia,” he said.

We said unconditional surrender and release the 40,000 Americans you hold, and that’s what they did,” Cotton stated during a conversation with Mark Levin on Fox News.
