There is one other piece of this that I must also argue with:

Watched while Russia annexed Crimea

This is part of the case against Trump... how can he just stand by when Russia just up and swallowed the Crimea whole and didn't even burp.

Don't let anyone get way with this geostrategic tomfoolery. Crimea was Russian back when we were thirteen colonies and we tried to swindle Russia out of its Black Sea ports through maneuvers not even worthy a 3rd rate "barracks lawyer."

Crimea is ethnically Russian and after the breakup of the Soviet Union, the Ukraine agreed to allow Russia to have unfettered access to Sevastopol. The coup that John McCain and others instigated broke that agreement and challenged Putin to do something about it. He swept through Crimea and stopped when his objectives were met. Sevastopol alone. Nothing else.
