Often attributed to Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s lead propagandist, is the phrase, “Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty.” Turns out, the Democrats are masters at employing Nazi Machivellianism, and frequently point the finger at the Right for being guilty of spreading misinformation.
So, as we near the November midterms, it’s worth recalling some of the most egregious instances of Democrat lies.
For years, the media and other Democrats falsely claimed that Obama was tough on Russia and Trump was soft on Putin. That is laughable, as the truth is quite the opposite.
One of the first things Obama did when he took office was he reneged from our commitment to Poland and the Czech Republic to put up defense shields — certainly pleasing Putin. The Guardian reported that the pledge to shore up defenses in the European countries “had long soured relations with Russia.” Then, in 2012, when Obama ran for reelection, he was infamously caught on a hot mic telling former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev that he would be flexible, not tough — to this, Medvedev replied, “I will transmit this information to Vladimir [Putin].”
Obama repeatedly refused military aid to Ukraine when Russia attacked, allowing Putin to take Crimea. According to USA Today:
SNIP
Obama worked very hard to improve the financial situation of terroristic regimes like Iran and Cuba, as they were great trading partners to Russia. Typical of the weak and backwards foreign policy of Democrats — there is nothing smarter than building up tyrants so they can buy more weapons from other tyrants.
Trump, on the other hand….

But the left uses inverse logic. When you point this out to them, they think you are telling them they speak the truth.
The Biden regime has the same appeasement policies as the Obama regime because the same people are making decisions.
Trump was taking a very aggressive stance against Russia which was a great relief after Obama’s weakness to them, but the media reported it all as just the opposite.
Trump was preparing us and NATO to fight the Russians if needed.
Here is an interview with Trump taking a hard stand against Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and Trump pointing out Biden’s weak response.

AND, lest we further forget, it was VP Biden for all 8 years of Obama so his fingerprints are all over those 8 years. What an absolute FUBAR and our lapdog LEFT Media just go with the flow! DISGUSTING!
“Trump was preparing us and NATO to fight the Russians if needed.”
Agree, Trump got played by the former Democrats in the State Department, led by Victoria Neuland - someone who he should have FIRED first thing, once in office, as she answers to Hillary.
Very sad that so many have died now, when there were plenty of other options on the table.
Amazing how many anti trump people are on FR.
Trump says he would be sending everything the Ukrainians need to fight the incredibly brutal Russian invasion.
In that interview, he makes it clear that Biden is not delivering the war goods Ukraine needs and that Trump would be delivering.
“In that interview, he makes it clear that Biden is not delivering the war goods Ukraine needs and that Trump would be delivering.”
That’s nearly 6 months old. All I hear from Trump recently is that war needs to end - something that I do not hear from ANY Western leaders.
Goebbels learned a lot of his tricks from George Creel, and the methods he used to get Americans onboard with fighting WWI.
An interview with the previous president after this invasion stated that he is pretty clear on how he would deal with it as Commander in Chief.
Trump considered fighter jets as a minimum and would have sent even more than that he says.
Trump is very clear about how horrified he is by Russia’s invasion.
“An interview with the previous president after this invasion stated that he is pretty clear on how he would deal with it as Commander in Chief. Trump considered fighter jets as a minimum and would have sent even more than that he says.”
Did you ever wonder why even the Neocons running our government DID NOT send our air force into Ukraine, considering how much they despised Russia (far more than Trump)?
Perhaps they know how our air force would do against S-400s, S-500s, and S-550s? Trump never had reason to be briefed on our relative capabilities, so what he says is based on having incomplete information.
“Amazing how many anti trump people are on FR.”
No shortage of them. They run around claiming that Trump wanted to start WW3. Incredible!
Even simple fact like trump rejected Biden obamas soft on Putin stance and gave lethal military aid to Ukrainians for killing Russian soldiers.
That’s what they’re doing.
Go trump!
I have no idea what you are talking about, our Air Force wasn’t going to attack Russia.
Obama was weak with Russia and Trump was strong and backed NATO sending MIG jets and “more” to Ukraine to oppose the Russian invasion.
After Obama’s anti-NATO/pro-Russian administration I was very pleased to see Trump rebuilding and strengthening NATO and increasing our defenses against Russia.
They already sent the Migs, and Russia has quickly disposed of them as they deployed throughout the months. US fighters would, obviously, need Western pilots.
Complain to Trump, not me, he wanted the MIGs sent so that Ukraine could fight off this “horrible” Russian invasion.
They were sent, and then neutralized, which is why they were getting shot down on a regular basis through at least July. They were old, not maintained properly, and useless against Russian air defences.
Trump wanted them sent to help Ukraine, and they were, this is August and Ukraine is still fighting.
Go Trump.
The democrat party are giving the world a show of how to destroy a nation.
