I asked why the Obama/Biden administration didn't stop Russia from invading Crimea.
You said their best option was to send weapons.
They did not send weapons when Crimea was invaded. They didn't get weapons from us until Trump sent them some.
My question is what's your opinion on why?
The Obama administration didn’t give lethal weapons to Ukraine for 2 reasons, 1 is they said they thought it might provoke Putin to escalate the conflict in the separatist Donbas area of Ukraine near Russia’s border, and also because of fear that the Russians would get access to Javelin's sensitive technology.
"The Russians had deep penetrations of Ukrainian intelligence, security, and military forces in the aftermath" of that country's 2014 revolution that overthrew a pro-Russian government he said, "and it took time to rid those forces of Russian moles, agents, and spies. That was the purpose of my visit to Kiev less than eight weeks after the Revolution of Dignity." Cia chief Brennon
You’re sitting here praising the weapons trump sent, yet clearly it wasn’t enough since they still got invaded.
Trump continuously bent over for putin. There’s a reason he spoke with him and kicked out the interpreters. He said at helensky he believes putin over our intelligence agencies. There’s no doubt putin was waiting until trumps second term to invade. Or hoping trump was competent enough to pull off Jan 6, but of course he failed at that, also.
It’s obvious Trump won’t win the presidency again, so it was now or never for Putin to make his move
