Senate Majority Leader: Repubs gave Vladimir green light in re: Crimea

[Dot Com]

Repub obstruction of important legislation that could have given Vlad (their bestest friend: http://www.usmessageboard.com/political-satire/344113-for-our-republican-friends.html ) pause before annexing Crimea

Harry Reid: GOP May Have Helped Russia Annex Crimea

Reid focused his ire on the GOP senators who blocked the bill before lawmakers went on break March 14. He urged them 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."

"Since a few Republicans blocked these important sanctions last work period, Russian lawmakers voted to annex Crimea and Russian forces have taken over Ukrainian military bases," Reid said. "It's impossible to know whether events would have unfolded differently if the United States had responded to Russian aggression with a strong, unified voice."

ANY school child knows that foreign policy is not supposed to be mired down in petty domestic squabbles. Repubs- putting petty partisan squabbles above important national security issues.

When it comes to policing and spending our money on other countries seems to be one of the things Republicans and Democrats are united on in Congress.

Obama and Putin were such good friends, and the GOP went and screwed up everything........

From the OP link:

Reid interpreted the logjam differently. He said Republicans blocked the bill before Congress' one-week recess to "protect the anonymity of their big-money donors" such as the Koch brothers, two of America's wealthiest men who've strongly supported conservative causes. He was referring to an unsuccessful attempt by some Republicans to include an amendment to the bill halting new IRS regulations on groups claiming tax-exempt status.

"Republicans objected to moving forward with this aid package unless Democrats agreed to allow the Kochs and billionaires like them to continue to anonymously spend millions trying to buy America's democracy," Reid said. "It's hard to believe. But that's the truth."

Reid slammed it home.

Reid wants you to ignore Crimea Democracy and you do. It must be the Koch's that cause you to do that.
