If Russia uses chemical, biological or nuclear weapons against its neighbor, President Biden would be authorized to use the U.S. forces to defend it.

The joint resolution was announced during an interview with Margaret Brennan on CBS's "Face the Nation."

I don't think we need to use force in Ukraine. The president can use an Authorization for the Use of Military Force if WMDs, nuclear, biological or chemical are used in Ukraine.

The congressman said that the resolution could serve as a deterrent to Putin.

It doesn't say that the president has to do it. Kinzinger said that it gives him a better flexibility, but also a deterrent to Putin.

If Putin wants to escalate with the West, he will. It is easy for him to do it. I think what we're doing with supplying, with lend-lease, with the financing is right.

If there is a situation in which America must get involved, the U.S. should be ready.

Prior to World War II, there were times when nobody wanted to get involved. I hope we don't get to that point, but we should be ready if we do.

The president can authorize the use of armed forces if he believes it is necessary to protect the national security interests of the United States in the event of nuclear, biological or chemical weapons being used.

Kinzinger said he was introducing a joint resolution so the Administration could take appropriate action if Russia used chemical, biological, and/or nuclear weapons.

We must stand up for ourselves and our allies.

The ninth week of Russia's invasion of Ukraine began on Feb. 24. In 2001 and 2002 the U.S. passed resolutions regarding the war in Iraq.
