The top Republican member of the House Intelligence Committee said that after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the United States would have to get involved if NATO members were attacked.

While the United States should not get involved directly, “we do play a role here that is very important,” said Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio).
