House Bill Aims To Stop Attacks into Russia with U.S. Missiles and Aid

House bill seeks to stop ATACMS Credit: U.S. Army

Representatives Clay Higgins (R-LA) and Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) on Nov. 21 introduced House Resolution HR10218, which would prohibit the transfer of U.S. Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to Ukraine. It would also prohibit U.S. military or intelligence agency personnel from assisting Ukrainian forces in using High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) equipped with ATACMS, to strike outside the “internationally recognized borders of Ukraine.”

Former U.S. Marine and UN international weapons inspector Scott Ritter called on the participants in his Pearl Harbor Day “No to Nuclear War” conference at the National Press Club, to mobilize for HR10218, which combats the major escalation of NATO’s war against Russia represented by these strikes with such missile systems deep into Russia. The escalation is pushing the superpowers toward nuclear war.

HR10218, “To Prohibit the Transfer of Army Tactical Missile Systems to Ukraine, and for Other Purposes,” has been referred to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, of which Representative Higgins, the bill’s prime sponsor, a U.S. Army veteran is a member. The LaRouche Organization is starting a mobilization to pressure both committees to act on it.
