Reid says GOP may have helped Russia annex Crimea
WASHINGTON (AP) Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Monday that Republicans may have helped Russia annex Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula in a surprisingly sharp attack ahead of a test vote on a bill authorizing more U.S. sanctions on Russia and $1 billion in loan guarantees to Ukraine.
Outlining the Senate's agenda after a one-week recess, the Nevada Democrat said the first item would be the Ukraine bill that Republicans blocked just before lawmakers went on break. He urged Republicans to consider "how their obstruction affects United States' national security as well as the people of Ukraine" and said their delay of any congressional action "sent a dangerous message to Russian leaders."
You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time but, to lovingly quote Bushy, "We won't get fooled again."
While preaching non-interference to Russia, Washington has been very active in showing its support for, first, protesters in Kiev and then to the coup-appointed government. The US participation in events in Ukraine did not confine itself to distributing snacks to rally participants, or friendly gestures of support.
Weve invested over 5 billion dollars to assist Ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure, prosperous, and democratic Ukraine, Victoria Nuland, Assistant US Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia said in December, 2013.
The announcement has drawn criticism.
The West spent 5 billion dollars destabilizing Ukraine. This is something that is a mess thats put on Russias doorstep by the West, a US writer and activist, Daniel Patrick Welch, believes.
