You are as unusual incorrect.  Obama took strong stances vs Russia. And it was the Republicans who refused to authorize a strike, not the Dems.  As to the rest, I don't see any new sanctions vs Russia by Trump.  It's only a matter of time before Trump lifts the ones in place now that he, Putin's Pet Poodle, has put on a fake show vs Russia.  He's already back blowing kisses at Putin and Russia.
