Donald Trump tried to extort Ukraine into smearing a political rival by holding $391 million in congressionally approved military aid hostage, and Ted Cruz voted to let him get away with it.
None of this had to happen. We could have prevented Putin from invading Ukraine by imposing sanctions against his Nord Stream 2 pipeline. After those sanctions were waived, and he concluded his pipeline was inevitable, he launched this war.
