Sen. Menendez: 'Mother-Of-All-Sanctions Bill' Is One To Deter Russia

[TREON.is.Bathit.Crazy.U.S.G]

Ukraine is a sovereign nation and should be seen as such, every country has a right to self determination and a right to defend itself from aggression from hostile external threats. Ukrainians obviously has nerves of steel. All of their volunteers, defending their country, I'm hoping they don't have too, but if they do, bravo.

At the very least, Putin is testing the current administration. The last administration gave aid and comfort to this enemy.

[rogerbarrett]

Putin has never got over watching the Berlin Wall come down, the break up of the USSR, watching the crowds enjoying freedom from the steps of the then KGB HQ. He couldn't do anything to stop it. He is a child as much as trump, trying to right something he feels went wrong in his earlier life, tantrums. Trying to recreate the USSR as much as possible helps him sleep at night.

Why does Russia want Ukraine in this very very post post WW2 era? So toddler

[samiam]

May cooler heads prevail. Let the sleeping dogs sleep. In other words your Puppet is long gone..a Looser....best think twice about options. No more Bone Spur left to step on.

Great interview. Good questions and informative answers.. how often does that combo happen in politics? As a Swede I've been concerned about NordStream for a long time: both it's environmental risks and it's geopolitical ramifications. Germany has rushed to abandon nuclear power at the cost of becoming totally dependent on Russian hydrocarbons. Now we see one of the consequences with German politicians giving lame excuses for Putin's actions.

Why is the US not doing anything about Russia cutting underseas communication cables? See Rachel Maddow's show last night. Seems to me that Putin has already gone past Ukraine and is at Ireland 's doorstep. What Germany needs to decide is "Are they part of Europe or not"?

Ask Trump and the Republicans and their allies what Russia is going to do I'm pretty sure you will get the answers you want

[RagaBopHepCat]

How 'bout lobbying the U.N., and our allies, to revoke their veto power, on the council?

[paulinopabello]

Sanction s is the right move, Godspeed.

[mordosamsonite]

When you're too scared you sanction

[vrioxbe]

US is just talking too scared to act and Putin knows that 😂

[melophoga]

This will test the GOP loyalty to America.

[chadl]

The president needs to stop worrying about the Ukraine people and worry about the American people we have a crisis going on here we have Republican terrorist making laws and I don't understand how we follow the law when they are terrorists and they're making the laws

[Pinkielover]

Russia literally makes everything on their own anyway..They also border China where they can get anything we have .Not a big deal to them.

[PositionM]

We fall back and let Ukraine handle itself. We have things at home too deal with

[SubFlow]

So is this, like, a SUPER strongly worded letter?

[cl]

"I have president Putin, he just said it's not Russia. I will say this. I don't see any reason why it would be, " President Trump said, standing at podium side-by-side with the Russian president during a joint press conference Putin in Helsinki, Finland.

Russia is what happens when Trumpanzees run the show.
