The US is ready to turn Russia into an "island".

Republican U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham has warned that the Senate is ready to impose sanctions against Russian Federation that would turn it into a "trade island."

In a column for The Wall Street Journal, the politician writes that the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan has damaged the reputation of the United States and caused aggression around the world. He believes this can be changed by maintaining decisive leadership on ending Russia's war against Ukraine:

"Mr. Trump can restore our reputation and end the bloodshed. But peace requires partners willing to achieve it. While Ukraine has made clear it is ready for such an end, Russia is making more excuses than the market can handle."

Graham reminds us that President Donald Trump is waiting for a document from Kremlin ruler Putin with Moscow's demands for a cease-fire. On this response depends on the future course of Washington. He said the Senate is ready for both options.

"The bill would turn Russia into a trade island, imposing 500% duties on any country that buys Moscow's energy supplies. The consequences of Russia's barbaric invasion should be a reality for those who support it. If China or India stop buying cheap oil, Putin's war machine will stop," the article says.

Lindsey Graham says the bill for "draconian""sanctions against Russia already has 82 co-sponsors. He is coordinating work on it with the White House:

"I hope for the best, but when it comes to the thug in Moscow, we should all prepare for him to keep it up."
