senators are convinced, that the US Congress the bill will find active support in the confrontation “Russian aggression”, and to provide the executive the necessary measures to protect the US and its allies. Therefore, the proposed legislation in the near future will go to the review and be able to provide a range of mandatory and additional sanctions against Russia. In this way, US can exert maximum influence on "the Kremlin's campaign", whose activity is directed “against American democracy and the international order”, based on certain rules.

If the items on sanctions against Russian special surprise will not cause, the point about the possibility of the US withdrawal from NATO looks real sensation. Wherein said senators did not specify the reasons, which they offer to withdraw from the North Atlantic military bloc. And all joined the statement of the need to support the Allied statements on withdrawal from NATO?

Attention is drawn to the strange fact: a Senate initiative “US withdrawal from NATO” between the lines actually stated their readiness to enter the anti-Russian sanctions. So what is important in a sentence Menendez and Graham?
