You need an education, rather that the MISeducation you got, from the idiot you just quoted here. Another example of our twisted MISeducation system, that has liberals tied in knots, and being lost in their perceptions. I've already shown how Trump was tough on Russia, but liberal jerks like this have decided they will push a line of Trump being soft on Russia, when just the opposite is true, and Biden is the one who has been soft on Russia.Updated Mar 12, 2022 · Upvoted by

Originally Answered: Would Putin have invaded Ukraine if Trump were still President?
No, it’s highly unlikely Putin would have invaded Ukraine if Trump was President. National Security journalist Ed Luce said it best: "The reason Putin didn't invade Ukraine while Trump was president was because he was getting everything he wanted without firing a shot, or risking [losing] an oligarch. War is the last resort. Trump was a gift to Putin that kept on giving."
You see, Trump argued NATO was obsolete. He criticized our allies (while praising Putin). Trump abruptly cut all military aid to Ukraine and tried to keep it a secret. Then, when forced to resume it, he ordered that all anti-tank weapons but kept only in Western Ukraine (far from Russian armor). Trump also claimed that it was Ukraine who interfered in the 2016 Presidential election, not Russia. Trump also said that Crimea was part of Russia because they all spoke Russian (which I guess means all areas of the US that speak Spanish or Vietnamese or some other language belong to that country—great logic there!).
You need an education rather than what you get from da guys at the local pub.
All of which explains why Putin laid back from Ukraine, during Trump's years, and pays no attention to the stooge in the White House now.
