Prioritize diplomacy, avert U.S.-Russia armed conflict over Ukraine

Russia's aggression against Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity has escalated an already tense situation, potentially drawing the United States and its allies into armed conflict. Trump's unwavering support of Russia is enough to remove him and his cabinet from office. He is a threat to the balance of peace in our world. Congressional approval for military force and impeachment proceedings adhere to constitutional protocols for handling such crises. However, diplomatic channels for peaceful resolution must remain open to prevent unnecessary escalation to war.
