When asked by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) whether Putin intends to “stop in Ukraine,” [Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,] was frank: “I don’t believe so, sir.”
When pressed by Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) to say if he believes the demonstrations and violence in Los Angeles are a sign the United States is “being invaded by a foreign nation,” as Trump told an audience of soldiers Tuesday in North Carolina, Caine said he doesn’t.
“At this point in time, I don’t see any foreign, state-sponsored folks invading,” the general replied, before adding, “but I’ll be mindful of the fact that there has been some border issues throughout time.”
When Schatz asked if there has been a “rebellion” against the government, another politically charged term the president and his administration have employed since unrest flared in Southern California, Caine declined to affirm that either. “I think there’s definitely some frustrated folks out there,” he offered.
