Given Trump’s well-known views on the NATO alliance, his friendship with Putin, and his complicated relationship with Ukraine and Zelinskiy… would he be doing anything other than giving Putin a high five?
He would probably say, "It’s the European NATO nations’ back yard. Let them take the lead, and if they are doing all the can but that’s not enough, then they can ask for US help.
So him sending lethal weapons to Ukraine and signing off on sanctions against Russia during his tenure is indicative of him having the hands off approach since that time. Interesting.
Yeah, nukes (which were originally Soviet nukes) back in Ukraine - what could possibly go wrong? Not to mention the small matter of a non-proliferation treaty…
If the Europeans don’t care what their neighbours are doing, why should the US get involved? What have the Europeans done to help Ukraine secure the Donbas since Russia started their troop manoeuvres?
America had an energy policy under the Trump administration that allowed for exports of oil and gas.
Europe depends on 1/3 of their oil and gas from die Russans. America now is begging OPEC for oil and Americans in some parts of the country are paying $6.00 for a gallon of gas. We have no bargaining chips, Putin will do as he pleases. J’Biden is an ■■■■■■■ and it wouldn’t surprise me if he, his family and cronies are benefiting financially from this whole cluster ■■■■■
Well, Russia was fighting Ukraine everyday in Donbas, Russia built the Kerch bridge, they essentially setup an embargo of Ukrainian vessels in the Sea of Azov, Russia attacked and seized Ukrainian naval vessels…Trump was able to say that Russian intelligence agencies should be trusted over our own, that Crimea belonged to Russia…that Russia should be let back in the G-7…he withheld arms from Ukraine in an attempt to get Ukraine to make an announcement that would hurt his political opponent. Yeah, good times.
“You know, the people of Crimea, from what I’ve heard, would rather be with Russia than where they were,” he said on ABC’s “This Week.” “And you have to look at that, also. Now, that was under – just so you understand, that was done under Obama’s administration. … Crimea has been taken. Don’t blame Donald Trump for that.”
I would guess a call with Putin and another “they speak Russian, okay?” But I don’t know what he’d do.
Well it’s not happening under Trump so one can speculate. What did happen is the Crimea was taken while Obama was president and all signs look like invasion under Brandon as president.
For what it’s worth I think it has more to do with this than anything else
only thug Putin knows why he did this under Brandon and not Trump.
They had a free referendum in the 90s to be part of Ukraine. Of course they had a new one when they “joined” Russia and of course those are always super reliable or something
