That OP is without question one of the stinkiest piles of BS I've read lately.
Obama sent blankets to the Ukraine. Trump sent weapons. Remember?What part do you object to?

The new definition of republican is traitor."What does Putin want? His aims go well beyond Ukraine. As the Atlantic’s Anne Applebaum summarizes: He “wants to put so much strain on Western and democratic institutions, especially the European Union and NATO, that they break up. He wants to keep dictators in power wherever he can, in Syria, Venezuela, and Iran. He wants to undermine America, to shrink American influence, to remove the power of the democracy rhetoric that so many people in his part of the world still associate with America. He wants America itself to fail.”
Trump’s foreign policy sought to do much of what Putin wants to achieve, including intimidating Ukraine by withholding vital defensive weapons. Trump, like his role model in Moscow, favored weakening NATO, elevating dictators (from China to Turkey to North Korea to Hungary to Russia), undermining democratic elections, demonizing the media (the best check against power-hungry politicians) and finding common ground with kleptocratic-style governments.
...Certainly, there is a disconnect on the right, with many Republicans in the Senate trying to find some way to blame President Biden for insufficient resolve in opposing Putin’s invasion scheme. (Republicans in disarray!) But just a couple of years ago, these Republicans were perfectly content supporting a president who extorted Ukraine to get dirt on Biden, tried to welcome Russia back into the Group of Seven, provided cover for Russian interference in the 2016 election and parroted Russian propaganda on Crimea. It takes quite a feat of contortion for these Republicans to remain defenders of Trump and deplore his successor for not doing enough to stand up to Putin."

The only difference is, Putin attacks a foreign country, Trump attacks his own country's democratic institutions.
Well that's a straight up lie.Obama sent blankets to the Ukraine. Trump sent weapons. Remember?
It's what they do.Why would you lie about something that takes second to fact check?
Fact-checking Trump's claim that Obama gave Ukraine 'pillows and sheets'
While the Obama Administration was criticized for its refusal to provide lethal assistance to Ukraine, it did provide over a hundred million dollars in security assistance, as well as a significant amount of defense and military equipment.amp.cnn.com
And he's done the exact opposite. NATO hasn't been united like this since 9/11."What does Putin want? His aims go well beyond Ukraine. As the Atlantic’s Anne Applebaum summarizes: He “wants to put so much strain on Western and democratic institutions, especially the European Union and NATO, that they break up.
He wants white supremacist, systemically oppressive, privileged, patriarchal America to fail? He's undermining that America founded upon the backs of slaves?"What does Putin want?

he wants to destroy America for one thing. Biggest reason why he wanted Trump in 2016, and again in 2020."What does Putin want? His aims go well beyond Ukraine.

It's pretty obvious he gets more when Democrats are in power. He got crimea under Obama Biden, and now he's getting the separatist states in Ukraine. Under Trump, he held off.he wants to destroy America for one thing. Biggest reason why he wanted Trump in 2016, and again in 2020.

Yahoo, WaPo , NYT , Guardian etc .
It would make life easier just to ring up Langley and get their scripts before they are handed out to bought and compliant editors. The piece is low grade drivel .
yes, he gets more of a response...LOL.It's pretty obvious he gets more when Democrats are in power. He got crimea under Obama Biden, and now he's getting the separatist states in Ukraine. Under Trump, he held off.
I remember something about boots and laces....Why would you lie about something that takes second to fact check?

If the prosector is not fired, you're not getting the billion dollars.
and probably in 2024 again. Putin wants to complete the job Trump started.he wants to destroy America for one thing. Biggest reason why he wanted Trump in 2016, and again in 2020.
