If Trump would have kept up not giving ANY aid to Ukraine this may not be an issue. No one in the US that I've come across mentions that the was in retaliation for things Ukraine was doing. So tired of all this BS. Trump stop helping Ukraine in any way. Walk away. And walk away from NATO. If Russia blows all of them up it will be on the UK, France, Belgium and Germany.
With respect, you may have missed Dr. Doctorow's point that President Trump has to deal with a strongly anti-Russian Congress. In its basic form, the US system is that the President is Congress's principal hired hand, implementing the laws & policies instituted by Congress. If 80 Senators really are in favor of even harsher actions against Russia, then those Senators need to hear from the citizens whom they nominally represent. Let's fix Congress first!
