US senators say they would counter incoming President
Donald Trump if he moves to establish warm relations with Russia.
Lawmakers from both political parties would like Trump
to rein in Russia, but they are also willing to take unilateral
measures if necessary, according to an analysis by congressional
newspaper The Hill.
“We cannot sit on the sidelines as a party and let
allegations against a foreign government interfering in our election
process go unanswered because it may have been beneficial to our case
for the moment,” Senator Lindsey Graham said.
The South Carolina Republican said he was planning a
multi-pronged approach, which would include helping allies in Eastern
Europe counter Russia and holding a series of congressional hearings
to highlight Russian “misadventures.”
Graham’s closest ally, Republican Senator John McCain,
warned Trump last week against another “reset” of US-Russia
relations, accusing President Vladimir Putin of “tyranny” and
“murder.”

As
expected:
“Although it is certain that the neocons and the
US deep state prefer Hillary as the next president, Trump is not
someone who couldn't handle. No matter what he says, it wouldn't be
too hard to be pushed by the neocons in another dead-end war.”
