“...engaged in questionable behavior toward neighbouring countries..”

Invading neighbouring countries is just ‘questionable’?

Because House resolutions “condemning” another country are stupid?

The threats to America looming largest are, in order, radical Islamic terrorism and a still-Communist China...

Can't argue with that.

The wording spilled over with uncommon vitriol and inaccuracy at a time when our language must be focused, measured and responsible.

If I make a statement like this, I'll generally provide some excerpts and explain why I agree/disagree. Nothing like that in this article.

I read the resolution myself, expecting it to be a wild rant, ending with some Khrushchev-esque shoe banging. Most of it deals with Ukraine and Crimea, but it's generally about Russian threats to former Soviet satellites. So the only odd thing I found was this tangential throw away bullet point:

•cease its support for the Assad regime in Syria.

It really doesn't have much to do with the rest, but I'd hardly consider any of it vitriolic or innacurate.

"Ten Members voted “nay,” myself among them. I wish to explain why I took this unpopular position."

Dana, think clearly man, it may have been in the minority among the Members of Congress, that doesn't mean it was unpopular. Represent, bro!!
