So, let me get this straight

Fact remains... Under Obama Putin took Crimea, under Biden Putin is going to take Ukraine, yet under Trump Putin didn't get anything but sanctions... WHICH BIDEN LIFTED.

The proof is in the pudding.

Counter-argument?

In 2008 Russia annexed land from Georgia while a Republican named Bush was our president. Do you have some mental difficulty in processing that fact? Because I've already brought it up and you act like it didn't happen.

And what specifically is your complaint? That United States didn't put boots on the ground to confront Russia's overnight take over of Crimea and possibly spark a major armed conflict? Seriously?

Or maybe your complaint is that the sanctions against Russia in 2014, which resulted in 2 year recession for them (~2% GDP annual contraction) was not severe enough? In which case why aren't you smashing Trump for running on removing all sanctions against Russia in 2016?

You are just another politico shill pushing half-baked bullshit of convinience.

10B????...lol dummy what part of
U.S. assistance to Ukraine since 2014 totals over $3.7 billion, plus three $1 billion sovereign loan guarantees
from your link do you not understand???
What the hell is wrong with you?
What shit-hole country are you from? You should learn how to read before posting, there are 2 links to add up, one military aid and one non-military. Add the $2.5b in military aid, PLUS the new aid recently approved...
"Since 2014, the United States has provided over $2.5 billion in military aid to Ukraine..."

The meter is running on US aid, more and more every day.. What is the EU doing? Buying Russian gas?

We buy Russian gas too.
 
$700m a year from the entire EU.

Since 2014, the United States has provided over $2.5 billion in military aid to Ukraine,

U.S. assistance to Ukraine since 2014 totals over $3.7 billion, plus three $1 billion sovereign loan guarantees. For FY 2020, Congress has appropriated $698 million: $448 million for State/USAI programs and $250 million for USAI, including $50 million for lethal assistance. The $448 million appropriation for State/USAI programs includes approximately $285 million in the development accounts and approximately $163 million in the security accounts.

Add them up and see how the EU aid compares with US aid. DUH.

Quick math based on those sources (since 2014):

EU aid to Ukraine: $4.9 billion ($700 mil x 7 years)

US aid to Ukraine: $9.2 billion ($6.7 bil financial assistance + $2.5 bil military aid)

So, total US aid to Ukraine was roughly double the amount from the EU (assuming the EU's $700 mil annual figure was consistent during that 7 year period).

Then consider that the EU is larger than the US in terms of total population by approximately 150 million people (close to 50% larger), the EU has 27 countries compared to just 1 with the US, and there is only a negligible difference in GDP (at purchasing power parity) between the US and EU ($22.7 trillion vs $21 trillion).


So yes, the US is clearly overpaying in aid to Ukraine, and the EU is clearly underpaying by comparison. Emphasis on the latter considering that Ukraine is part of Europe, not North America.

Your point being Trump is a stronger president than Bush, Obama and Biden?

I agree wholeheartedly!
