"The fact that we are here today with a very weak Russia - having had the entirety of the Ukraine turn away from Russia and towards the EU and having to have engaged in a panicky reaction of invasion - is a result, in part, of the United States strength on this issue. Standing with the protesters throughout that difficult period of time at the end of last year and the beginning of this year."Murphy is a member of the Foreign Relations Committee who has made several trips to Ukraine with his good pal John McCain.

Senator Murphy went on to claim that the United States will stand together with Europe and, if Putin "doesn't reverse course in the coming days, I imagine there's going to be a new round of crippling economic sanctions." ...Y'know, because Putin has demonstrated his deep, abiding, concern about sanctions. So, remember America. The invasion of Crimea didn't occur because Putin saw an opportunity to take a valuable territory while he was opposed by an impotent, mewling, President.
