YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn a tense House hearing, Delegate Stacey Plaskett pressed Tulsi Gabbard with one of the most politically loaded questions in Washington: Is Russia a friend or an adversary to the United States?
The exchange came during a broader discussion about U.S. foreign aid cuts, China’s growing influence in Africa, and Russia’s expanding propaganda reach. Plaskett argued that pulling back American programs risks ceding critical ground to global rivals—especially in regions facing terrorist threats.
This moment was more than just a yes-or-no question. It cut to the heart of U.S. national security strategy, alliances, and the role of soft power in the global competition against Russia and China. Gabbard’s answer—and the way she framed it—will likely be remembered by both her critics and her supporters.
Watch as Plaskett’s pointed questioning forces a moment of clarity in a debate where words can have global consequences.
