Frustrated with President Barack Obama’s reaction to Russian action in Ukraine, a group of Republican senators said Wednesday they will introduce legislation outlining a more muscular response.
“What we’ve seen from the administration is a lot of rhetoric,” Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, the top Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, said on the Senate floor Wednesday morning. The White House has been dealing “with the situation after something bad has already occurred,” he said.
Earlier this week, violence flared up in another area of Ukraine that hugs the Russian border, as the new government in Kiev criticized local police for failing to stem the growing unrest.
The bill comes as a new WSJ/NBC News Poll shows large number of Americans want the U.S. to shrink its role in world affairs.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) and GOP Sens. John McCain of Arizona, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Marco Rubio of Florida and Dan Coats of Indiana, among others, are expected to support the bill.

I repeat...this is all about the Ukraine asking us to pay their bills and get them out of all the trouble caused by their little coup.
And of course, there is Soros...

One war at a time, boys. Save that fire in the belly for more pressing needs. How about a more "muscular" response on your part to Obamacare, Benghazi, the IRS abuses, the NSA, the BLM, and oh, a more muscular immigration enforcement and defense of our own borders would be nice. Or, are you still placing all your hopes on the Hispanic vote? Dumbasses...

“Cornyn is another one of the RINOS who want war with Russia. The GOP-e leaders are insane.”
Hmmm...war wth Russia? Might as well suspend the Constitution and declare Marshal Law.
Wait...what?
