Angus King: “The idea, I think, as we all agree is to allow traditional clamming, worming, and periwinkles, as has been used.”

Adding insult to injury, today’s deal is a slap in the face to every member of Congress who voted for the Lindsay Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act just last month.

The grave danger we now face is that the current administration has undermined both prongs of deterrence strategy in different theaters — a lack of will in Ukraine and a lack of capacity in Iran.

Their experiences demonstrate the critical importance of early support and reliable access to care.

This so-called deal with Russia will do little for America and much for Vladimir Putin as he seeks to sustain his murderous campaign on Ukraine.
