Trump Gave Ukraine What Obama Withheld
Trump Gave Ukraine What Obama Withheld
You can’t have a quid pro quo without the other party being aware there’s a quid and reports indicated the Ukrainian government was unaware that aid was allegedly being withheld to pressure them to dig up dirt on Trump opponent Joe Biden....
You can’t have a quid pro quo without the other party being aware there’s a quid and reports indicated the Ukrainian government was unaware that aid was allegedly being withheld to pressure them to dig up dirt on Trump opponent Joe Biden. And the aid wasn’t really aid but, was additional Javelin anti-tank missiles bought and paid for by Ukraine with its own money. But as long as we are on the subject of whether or not President Trump was jeopardizing U.S. national security by withholding military aid for political purposes, consider that almost as soon as Trump took office, he had restored lethal aid to Ukraine that the Obama-Biden administration had cut off.
Flash back to 2012 when President Obama promised Russian President Dmitry Medvedev at the Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul, South Korea that after his re-election he would have more "flexibility" to weaken missile defense and otherwise weaken U.S. resistance to Russian ambitions and aggressions,
In March 2009, Hillary Clinton had presented Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov with that infamous red "reset button" to symbolize improved ties, but the gift drew smiles as the word "reset" was mistranslated into the Russian for "overcharge" Something else was lost in the translation as well, apparently, as Russian, belligerence and intransigence continued.
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s seizure of the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine in early 2014 was the direct result of Obama’s promised flexibility. The Obama-Biden administration effectively did nothing in response. That didn’t jeopardize U.S. national security? As the Washington Examiner reported:
~Snip~
The question of who was willing to jeopardize U.S. national security interests in the Ukraine and for what is now open for discussion.
Commentary:
Flashback.....
Remember when Pelosi attempted to impeach Trump for threatening U.S. National Security for sending real military aid to the Ukraine rather sending MRE's and Blankets as Barack Hussein Obama did.
Meanwhile, Obama pledged his fealty to Putin through Medvedev claiming when reelected he would have more flexibility in giving Putin more. Well, he certainly did during and after Putin invaded the Ukraine to annex the Crimea.
Now Joey Xi bows to Putin by lifting sanctions and letting the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline to be finished linking Europe and Germany to the whims of Vladimir Putin.
Does anyone really believe that Joey Xi would commit armed forces to fight in the Ukraine if Putin invades?
