You can stick it with your Trumper talk. Trump blocked Nordsteam 2 and Biden removed the tech ban to allow its completion to give Putin oil leverage. Trump was completing Keystone XL to compete in oil exports with Russia among others…Biden killed it. Putin this felt he had the economic leverage on the EU to pull off more of a land grab back. Biden also told the world that a minor incursion would not merit a major response….no amount of later walk backs can fix that. Biden fucked up Afghanistan withdrawal so that Putin could see what a weak, clusterfuck of a president Biden was - he projected weakness. In the past, Biden/Obama had refused to give military aid to Ukraine when Putin came into Crimea - they sent blankets instead. Weakness projected. Trump sent real arms to Ukraine while he was president which proved to be crucial for them to withstand the early onslaught of Putin because……Biden refused to commit to helping Ukraine when Putin threatened again in winter of 2020 - more weakness projected. Biden refused to send meaningful arms ahead of time, and then slowly, incrementally came around thereafter to full support when he saw the political writing on the wall and saw that against all odds, Ukraine was surviving the attack.
If you consider these facts as wrong, it is because YOU are wrong and because YOUR sources of information are shit.
I completely disagree with Eli about Putin, but save your hypocritical bullshit about Trump when it was your doofus who allowed the beast out of his cage.
Bottom line:
