            First: The commander-in-chief doesn’t control the military?

            Second: Even if he didn’t, how would that matter for Ukraine? Removing both their support and the sanctions on Russia would still hurt them a lot.

                  But they don’t control all of Congress. They will still need democrat support, no?
