When Obama Left Ukraine Defenseless

[billyerock123]

Trump was pushing the NATO countries to live up to their treaty commitments. The wisdom of that was now been clearly shown. If Trump hadn’t pushed, NATO wouldn’t have the weapons to provide the Ukranians.

not sure what you are trying to say here ... what I understand about nato and trump he felt we were paying too much money to nato he want the other countries to pay more than they were paying and the U.S. to pay less by threatening to pull out of nato if the didn't pay more ... thats my understanding ... then he treated to pull defensive weapons if they didn't say that they were paying money to joe biden and hunter Biden for political gain here in the states ... they refuse to extort the U.S. this pissed trump and snuggle up to Russia ...

Your claims are proven outright lies..

they violated NO treaty whatsoever.

They never tried to put nukes on russias border and neither did anyone else.

They stole no oil and the state murdered no one.

Now that we know you made those claims up out of THIN AIR it proves the rest of your claims false.

It was legal to give them weapons PERIOD

do you ever wonder how these republicans get this stuff and buy into it ...

The Ukraine committed numerous and continual acts of war, like stealing billions worth of Russian oil from pipelines, violating treaties, murdering ethnic Russians, trying to put NATO nukes on Russia's border, etc.
If the Ukraine was not committing crimes, it would not needed or wanted NATO weapons.
The Ukraine should never have been given any NATO weapons.
Biden deliberately started this war by illegally giving Kyiv weapons.

here are the lies

• Conspiracy theories aimed at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have been circulating on social media since Russia invaded Ukraine. One recent example, falsely attributed to a “Pentagon official,” is the unfounded claim that Zelensky is the cousin of billionaire philanthropist George Soros.

See “Zelensky and Soros Aren’t Cousins, Contrary to Social Media Claim” for more.

• A recent Facebook post falsely claims that CNN footage from the war in Ukraine was faked, citing a firefighter’s jacket bearing the name of a Canadian city. But the footage was shot in Ukraine. The jacket was donated by a Canadian organization.

See “CNN Video Shows Canadian Fire Gear Donated to Ukraine, Not ‘Fake Footage'” for more.

• Amid rising tensions between the U.S. and Russia over the invasion of Ukraine, a misleading photo posted March 22 on Facebook shows an American fighter jet intercepting a Russian bomber near Alaskan airspace. But the incident was not related to the current situation in Ukraine; the photo appeared in an article published in Aero Magazine in June 2020.

See “Viral Photo of Russian Bomber Shows Incident from 2020” for more.

• The Russian invasion of Ukraine has triggered a barrage of false claims on social media, including a video that purports to show “crisis actors” portraying dead war victims. The video is actually from a climate protest held in Vienna, Austria, weeks before the war in Ukraine began.

See “Video Shows Climate Protest in Austria, Not ‘Crisis Actors’ in Ukraine” for more.

• Zelensky has appeared in several recent videos that show he has remained in the country since Russia invaded. But a post on Facebook falsely claimed he fled and recorded a video using a green screen to make it appear as though he’s still in Ukraine. There’s no evidence to support the claim. A digital forensics expert told us that nothing in the video indicates it was filmed using a green screen.

See “Zelensky Remains in Ukraine, Despite False Claims on Social Media” for more.

• Russian planes bombed a hospital in Mariupol, Ukraine, on March 9, killing three people and injuring at least 17, including two pregnant women seen in photos shared around the world. Social media posts falsely claimed one woman “posed” as the two women. One of the women died of her injuries, along with her baby; the other gave birth to a daughter.

See “Social Media Posts Misrepresent Victims of Hospital Bombed in Mariupol” for more.

• Several megachurches in the U.S. were actively raising funds to support Ukrainians after the Russian invasion. But social media posts falsely claimed that “we haven’t seen a single American mega church offer anything to the Ukrainians.”

See “Megachurches in U.S. Are Supporting Ukraine Relief, Contrary to Social Media Posts” for more.

• A video from 2019 showing Russian President Vladimir Putin meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un circulated with the false claim that it showed Putin meeting recently with the South Korean president, Moon Jae-in.

See “Old, Mislabeled Video Circulating Amid Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine” for more.

• Former President Donald Trump is one of several Republican politicians to claim or suggest that President Joe Biden ended the “energy independence” America needs to stop relying on Russia for oil. But the U.S. has imported oil and other forms of energy from abroad, including from Russia, for many years. On March 8, Biden signed an executive order blocking new U.S. purchases of Russian oil and other energy.

See “Examining U.S. ‘Energy Independence’ Claims” for more.

• Rothschild & Co. has an office in Moscow and has been operating in Russia since the mid-1990s. Yet posts on social media falsely claimed that Russia had barred the Rothschild banking family from doing business in the country. The claim is an adaptation of an old conspiracy theory about the family.

See “Rothschild & Co. Has Office in Russia, Contrary to Conspiracy Claim on Social Media” for more.

• Hunter Biden served on the board of the Ukrainian oil and gas company Burisma Holdings from 2014 to 2019. But Ted Nugent posted a Facebook meme falsely insinuating that Hunter’s payments from the company ended with the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

See “Hunter Biden Left Ukrainian Company in 2019, Contrary to Ted Nugent Post” for more.

• The U.S. Department of Defense’s Biological Threat Reduction Program has provided technical support to improve and protect Ukraine’s public health laboratories. Social media posts, however, falsely claimed the program created “bioweapons labs” that are being targeted by Russian forces as part of the invasion of Ukraine.

See “Social Media Posts Misrepresent U.S.-Ukraine Threat Reduction Program” for more.

• “Bernie Gores” was not killed in Afghanistan in August, and he wasn’t the “first American casualty of the Ukraine crisis.” He doesn’t exist. But Facebook users were faked out by fabricated tweets that purported to show CNN announcing the death of the same man twice in six months. The photo of “Gores” used in both fake tweets was video gamer Jordie Jordan.

See “Bogus Tweet Spreads False Account of ‘First American Casualty’ in Ukraine” for more.

• Putin and other officials repeatedly denied having plans to invade Ukraine in the run-up to the assault. They blamed the U.S., Ukraine and others for the tension, insisting that Russia was a “peaceful country” and that it was “not going to attack anyone.”

See “Russian Rhetoric Ahead of Attack Against Ukraine: Deny, Deflect, Mislead” for more.

We’ll update this list with new coverage as necessary.

In spite of Congress pushing Øbama to provide lethal aid he did not.

​

Back in 2014, after Russian strongman Vladimir Putin had annexed Crimea and, in essence, launched the war in Ukraine that he has now mobilized forces to finish, Rich wrote an excellent column on Putin’s ambitions. On July 17 that year, the terrorist “separatist” forces Putin had dispatched into Donbas (which stoked the sedition that evolved into the pretext for last night’s full-on Russian invasion) shot a Malaysia Airlines civilian aircraft out of the sky, killing all 298 people aboard. As Rich observed at the time:​

​

​

​

​

In the piece, Rich went on to highlight President Obama’s dithering — issuing vapid warnings that Putin laughed off and refusing to provide the Ukrainian military with arms to defend themselves. Eli Lake added more details: Among the defensive assets our government has denied Ukraine is “radar jamming and detection equipment necessary to evade and counter [Russian] anti-aircraft systems” — like the system Putin’s unlawful combatants had used to shoot down Flight 17.​

​

But Obama would not arm the Ukrainians. It was not until Donald Trump became president that they were provided with serious defensive weaponry, though it would obviously never be enough if Putin decided to mass Russia’s far superior forces and invade — which he waited to do until Obama’s vice-president, Joe Biden, was in the Oval Office.​

I remain convinced that Obama would not arm Ukraine because, as a senator, he had spearheaded the congressional effort to disarm Ukraine.

Do you like making up your nonsense … anything done by the president has to be approved by the Congress … that’s your first mistake … stop whining about shit you have no clue about… let’s see the republicans controlled the house and you are fogging democrats not helping Ukraine give me a break

 

[billyerock123]

That marries up well with the democrats' obsession with gun control here in America: it's the guns not the people who are to blame for all gun deaths. I gotta say, leaving the Ukrainians defenseless was a foolish act IMHO. Whoever agreed to that on the Ukraine side musta got paid off big time, or else they were very, very stupid. Who in their right mind did not know for the past 30 years that Putin wanted to restore the old USSR bloc as much as he could.?

That was the republicans the refuse to bring the bill the democrats had to help them with equipment and financial aid … McConnell filibuster ever bill that the democrats brought to the floor … in return the republicans never offered any hep to add if the people of Ukraine … a president can only offer what the house has to offer … do go a Blaine the republicans not obsma … he tried to help that’s all he can do …
