Again clueless, there were ZERO viable ways for us to prevent annexation short of getting in armed conflict with Russia. Ukraine was in total chaos after its pro-Russian governing party got toppled.
And let’s not forget how Republicans elected please-Putin-be-my-best-friend Trump, while his campaign manager was working overtime to dilute anti-Russian positions in the Republican party.
You claimed that obummer put the boot up pootins ass. He did nothing to harm pootin at all. He sat back and did NOTHING of any meaningful import. He violated treaties that were in place long before he was elected, he sat on his ass instead of honoring a treaty. His response was no better than his wife's ridiculous hashtag "campaign" against Boko Haram.
They were the two most useless idiots that have ever inhabited the WH. They were long on looks and real short on action.
You have no idea what you are talking about
Sanctions stung Putin and his oligarch circle big time, it put his country into a recession and hit their personal pockets hard, while putting a cramp in their lavish travel lifestyles outside of Russia.
There is a reason Putin got knee deep into shit trying to meddle into our election - he was seriously cheesed.
Can you try to imagine Russia putting OUR eleconomy into a recession? Stepping on OUR throat like that?
