So you give Putin a list of the country’s most critical targets and you stop giving Ukraine supplies and equipment that it can use to defend itself from the Russians.

Hmmmmmm...........

Was their meeting, I mean ‘summit’, televised or recorded. No telling what Putin told him with regards to the intel the Russians have on him and his family. Even if he didn’t tell CornPop directly, during their time together, I’m sure someone from Putin’s camp dropped some clues to one of CornPops people.

The Press demanded transcripts when Trump met with Putin, too.

Not so with Corrupt Joe

Where is the Resistance to Joe Biden? There is none from elected officials

Obama refused lethal armament for the Ukraine, Trump did give lethal weapons to the Ukraine twice that I recall.

President Donald Trump was impeached under the false pretense of withholding military assistance from the Ukraine (he never did).

Actually, Trump did put a hold on military assistance to Ukraine. The hold was in place during the time of the Trump phone call where he asked for assistance rooting out corruption with the President (or PM) of the Ukraine.

So the statement from the article is not true.

However, the point of the hold was to get allies to belly up to the bar with their own aid. It was actually an attempt to get our allies to contribute to the Ukraine. Furthermore, none of the transcripts or witnesses to the phone call heard anything on the call which implied that there was any quid pro quo involved. The head of the Ukraine, who was on the other end of the call, has stated that he was unaware of the "hold" at the time the call was made.

Finally, it should be stated that Obama limited support to the Ukraine to the point where no military supplies were allowed. The Obama Whitehouse only supplied blankets, and such. Now, Joe Biden has cut off the actual military assistance that Trump had put in place.

Holding out for a bigger payoff from the Ukrainian anti-Russian regime (that got in with help from the Obama administration)? That's my read on it.

But if I'm wrong about that, could be the Democrat/State Department complex (I won't say "Biden" hes just a place holder) is seriously considering not to stay bought?

I am not old. I am not young. I can not believe what I have seen happen to this country in the few short years I’ve paid attention to politics. It is very sad and infuriating.

Is Russia lining Biden’s pockets or is it blackmail? Getting Ukraine’s natural gas reserves seems like a motive to get at a compromised Joe No Mo.

WhiteHouse says report US held back Ukraine aid is ‘nonsense’

“The idea that we have held back security assistance to Ukraine is nonsense. Just last week — in the run-up to the U.S.-Russia Summit — we provided a $150 million package of security assistance, including lethal assistance,” said press secretary Jen Psaki in a press release Friday.
