Actually, for this piece, I looked into Sen. Murphy's social media and press releases when Putin took Crimea in 2014. Murphy made strong statements, supported Obama sanctions, and then stopped talking about it. Putin, of course, kept Crimea.

The statement critiques Sen. Murphy's past actions regarding Crimea, suggesting inconsistency in his stance. It implies that despite strong initial statements and support for sanctions, the situation in Crimea remained unchanged. The tone is analytical, focusing on political accountability.
