Reid Suggests GOP to Blame for Putin’s Actions

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) says Republicans may have helped Russia annex Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula, the AP reports.

“The surprising accusation came ahead of a Monday test vote on a Russia sanctions and Ukraine aid bill that Republicans blocked before Congress left for recess two weeks ago. Since, Crimea seceded and Russian lawmakers annexed the territory.”

Said Reid: “It’s impossible to know whether events would have unfolded differently if the United States had responded to Russian aggression with a strong, unified voice.”
