Saying President Barack Obama hasn’t been tough enough on Russia, a high-powered group of Republican senators introduced legislation on Wednesday aimed at imposing new sanctions on Moscow over its actions in Ukraine.
“Rather than react to events as they unfold, which has been the policy of this administration, we need to inflict more direct consequences on Russia prior to Vladimir Putin taking additional steps that will be very difficult to undo,” said Bob Corker of Tennessee, the top GOP member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who drafted the measure.
The congressional push for a harder line on Russia comes with Obama set to welcome German Chancellor Angela Merkel, one of his key partners on Ukraine, to the White House on Friday.

Obama doesn't want to arm Ukraine. You and Obama are united.
Exactly.
And we have our own enemy combatant in Mordor on the Potomac that is and has been infinitely more dangerous to the US than what anyone does in Ukraine, either side there.
Two possibilities. No knowledge of history. No ability to use logic.
Nothing else makes sense unless you go straight to Obama supporting nutcase.
ROTFLOL.
Well said.
But mind boggling how many are here on FR. Just this morning I was accused to being a Putin lover just because I pointed out that yes indeed, the Pravi Sektor and Svoboda are neo Nazis.

The usual actors on that thread.
The feeling is mutual buddy boy.
When you can post a logical reason we should back WW3, get back to me cupcake.
Most Ukrainians despise Nazi. If you know anything about history you would know that. Yet you think that when you arm Ukraine you arm Nazis.
That's mind boggling.
Do what exactly? Attack Russia?
Amen to THAT!
I recently had a 2 day battle with one who was so sure of his position that I invited him to turn men in to DHS as an enemy agent or at least to JR as a liberal.
SO SURE was he that....nothing.
Lots of hyperpatriotic hot air from lots of people that can’t think 2 inches ahead of what happens when you stand impotently punching a pit bull.
Anyone here want to go to war with Putin with Obama and a purged military?
Raise your hands, get on a plane to Basic training and do it yourself or shut the hell up.
McCain goes to Syria. Meets with “rtebels.” Soon after that Obama publicly thinks about arming those “rebels.”
Same with Lybia Obama follows McCain’s rocket-riding rjhetoric.
Now Ukraine.
McCain goes over in Dec. 2013 and stands with radical fascist Svoboda, and now talk from McCain about arming Ukrainians.
Yes, McCainiacs, Sornistas and Obamnistas, unite.
Obama and you are united.
“Where exactly do you suppose economic sanctions and arming the Ukrainans leads to exactly? Cleveland?”
Let’s try Ukraine, since Russia in an act of war has forcefully annexed Ukraine and is provoking E.Ukraine with special operations units and agents.
So, you are even against economic sanctions LOL. But you do support the Jack Boot of Russia on the neck of Ukraine.
Why don’t you hoist the Russian flag?
I know you are but what am I?
“Why are Republicans banging the drums?”
Look at how many of them are either up for reelection or went full RINO.
In the case of Israel I would offer to park a carrier group off their coastline in return for them keeping it provisioned and military cooperation to help keep the Suez Canal open and defense if they face anything more than the usual attacks from paleostinians.
Actually these AlexJones, Paulians and assorted fruit n nut appeasers and isolationists are even to the Left of Obama.
They certainly would be called Useful Idiots by Reagan.
People here are forgetting one thing that should be used in the primaries. The RINo’s are using American servicemen as pawns to show how tough they are.
If there ever was an issue the TEA Party can take which would screw the left big time it’s this one.
LOL. So now it offends you that somebody called you a name.
Never mind that you were doing the same thing up thread.
Try having a normal conversation for once.
Germany, Japan say G7 won’t waver on further Russian sanctions
What’s new with that? They’ve always been wet noodles when dealing with the Soviets.
What’s new is we have an anti-American lightweight in the White House. He won’t be stiffening up our allies lest that cause the USA to lead from the front.
How can I have a normal conversation with someone that can’t tell they are being mocked like they were a 4 year old?
