BRUSSELS, April 19 (Reuters) - More than 100,000 Russian troops have massed on Ukraine's border and in annexed Crimea, the office of the EU's top diplomat Josep Borrell said after EU foreign ministers were briefed by Ukraine's foreign minister.

Trump would have threatened Russia, acted more forcefully earlier.
Putin invaded Crimea when Obama was president.
Putin invaded no one when Trump was president.
Putin invaded Ukraine when Biden was president.
There is an obvious pattern here, one that the media refuses to see.
I don’t think so. Trump never threatened war with any one. He always wanted to avoid foreign wars, with the gargantuan national debt we are going to pass on to young generations.
What president Trump would have done in 2nd term was to give more military weapons to Ukraine during his 2nd term, which he did during his first term.
It never would have gotten even close to this point with Trump.
Trump threw a monkey wrench into their plans.
And there are millions of Ukrainians waiting for them.
If people want to claim Trump would out-neocon the DC neocons, and out-warmonger the DC warmongers then frankly, he's not worth spit. That would make him worse than them.
But I don't believe he would have done that. Trump isn't an globalist ideologue. He understands strength, but also mutual benefit, security needs and negotiating win-win situations. I voted for him because he doesn't think like the typical reactionary DC deep state lizards. He made friends with Kim Jung Un after all.
They can’t feed or fuel them. This won’t last long.
Trump was continually imposing sanctions on Russians — oligarchs and government officials and their organizations, throughout his term. He would definitely have responded to this provocation.
President Trump would not have used threats.
He would have sat down with Putin and had an adult conversation, charting win win scenarios for both countries.
You can add that Putin invaded Georgia when Bush was president. 2008. Putin is opportunistic. When sees weakness and vulnerability he strikes.
This news is from April 2021.
Nevermind...I should learn to read entire headlines.
Yes, I forgot about Bush II. What a stupid piece of trash he turned out to be.
“Islam is peace.”
“I looked the man [Putin] in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy.”
Russia does not invade in a time of mean tweets?
yes, there was a reason that the Iranian hostage crisis magically ended a few minutes after Ronald Reagan was sworn into office in 1981 — and a reason that Russia and China and North Korea were fairly well-behaved during the Trump years.
But at least, the mean tweets are over! Instead of mean tweets in the White House, we now have full diapers!
Yes really. PDJT even got N-Korea to stop firing missiles over Japan.

No invasion happened under Trump. Deal with it. Invasions happen under Democrat rule. So watch Taiwan.
Not sure what the point is of an almost one year old article being posted. President Trump is unfortunately in no position to assist.

Trump is one part Ronald Reagan and two parts George Patton. I would have preferred a bit more Reagan, and a bit less Patton. Oh, well. Nobody’s perfect.
