May 9 was celebrated as usual as Victory Day over Nazi Germany in Russia this year.

Most people who remember Samantha Power know her either as a pro-war propagandist masquerading as a journalist in Bosnia or as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s loyal servant in helping to orchestrate the Obama administration’s disastrous military interventions in Libya and Syria.

The role that the governments of the US and Britain cynically and shamefully played in fostering eight years of terrorism and paramilitary outrages that took 14,000 lives in the Russian-speaking secessionist provinces of Lugansk and Donetsk after the 2014 Maidan coup in Ukraine were forgotten, buried, ignored.

Sens. Lee, Paul, and Vance lead the charge, saying they’ll oppose aid until there’s a clear diplomatic plan for ending the war.
