“Lawmakers say they’re particularly concerned by comments from German Ambassador to the U.S. Peter Wittig, who told The Associated Press that Obama had agreed to hold off on providing weapons in a meeting last month with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.” ( The same person who just bought Putin’s Natural gas giving him billions…)
She explained that at the time, the Ukraine military was new and inexperienced and needed training first. But she stated it a whole lot better than I can.
Just a reminder Ol Flexible let Putin take parts of Ukraine after telling them he’d protect them. oh, Then Biden’s son got rich… I bet they didn’t want to lose all of Ukraine, so gave the elite dems some money!
“…we should not slip into collective amnesia over the Obama administration’s weak and underwhelming response to Russian aggression. Throughout his presidency, Obama consistently underestimated the challenge posed by Putin’s regime.”

Just as a reminder The ruble dropped like a rock because of sanctions and they still haven’t really recovered from the recesión in part caused by the sanctions
