In a statement issued today, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R – VA) urged Congress to explore ways to “punish” Russia for its opposition to US policy, including overt military support for Ukraine, whose interim government is mobilizing for war.
And while Cantor of course started with the dispute over the Crimean Peninsula, his grudge against Russia centered more on the nation’s foiling of other US wars and hostility, particularly against Syria and Iran.
Cantor’s statement made it a point to complain that Russia had blocked several anti-Iran sanctions measures as well as “watering down” other resolutions on Iran.
He concluded that Russia couldn’t be trusted on any arms limitation treaties and that the US needs to “put long-term pressure on their economy.” His comments lack specifics, but center on the bellicose measures other hawks have also pushed.
Ukraine or Syria, or Kosovo or any otter country in this world is where the interests of USG/corporation located. Such speech by thus or other senators confirming the fact that they do worried about USG/corporation, what happens to people of Ukraine or Kosovo or Syria is their secondary guess, not their concern, but their guess. Part of Ukraine (1/3) will be controlled by few illegitimate governing militia within few weeks, the Ukrainian self proclaimed government will only control Kiev, unless they give more of the power to these militias that are Neo, ok’d and ok’d fascism. NATO is the land grabbing tools for the western falsified democracy, hand in hand with these militia marching toward Russia, German Christian democrats chancellor, French social democrats president, the Swedish monarchism hand in hand with the Swedish Neo liberal fascism, the Greece, the Spanish, the Italian, the English Neo liberal fascism governments are looking forward, in fact encouraging these fascist groups where they can have their interests guarded for now.
Judea declares war on Russia!
Nice historical paraphrase. 🙂

Cantor is a hypocrite and Zionist stooge. How can anyone take this clown
seriously when he prattles on about Russia's (illegal) annexiation of Crimea,
while (he) collects bank checks from Israel, the rogue state, built on land
(annexed/stolen) from the Palestinian people?
just one of several israeli piont men in the US gov….
Is the US government occupied today…
HELL YA
Punish Russia? — What does Cantor have in mind, getting out his hairbrush? "Bend over, Vladimir, this is going to hurt me more than it hurts you!"
"…comments lack specifics…"
Wouldn't want to actually take personal responsibility for anything…like advocating for another war…any war…for Israel's benefit, of course.
Another one of those Republicans who want small government and low taxes at home, but big government and lots of spending abroad. I think it is called cognitive dissonance.
How about we punish Israel for its annexation of the Golan heights?
