The Republican senator threatened to turn Russia into “fish bait”

Senator John Kennedy, one of the influential representatives of the Republican Party of the United States of America, called on President Donald Trump to take a tough and firm position towards Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to the senator, Putin has “broken all his promises” to the US leader and must be given a fitting response. This was reported by Fox News.

“We need to explain to Putin and Russia in general that it is not easy to deceive the US leader, and that there are tough penalties in response,” Senator John Kennedy said in his speech.

The politician also criticized Moscow for trying to block Ukraine from joining NATO, and the US and Europe for trying to stop aid to Kiev. Kennedy said the US government has the ability to confront such a policy and respond “very strongly” to Russia.

“We must make it clear to Putin and the Kremlin that there will be serious consequences for deceiving the United States. If Russia tries to play with us, we must make it clear that we are ready to turn it into “fish bait,” ”the senator warned sharply.

This statement is causing widespread discussion in international political circles. Relations between the US and Russia have recently become tense due to the crisis in Ukraine, and it is believed that such a strong position could further strain the situation between the two countries.
