What is the current administration’s endgame in Eastern Europe?
Barack Obama has condemned Vladimir Putin’s attack on Ukraine and called on all Americans to impose sanctions on Russia even if doing so hurts the United States economy. His statements make him sound like a strong ally of Ukraine, ready to do whatever it takes to protect innocents from harm. But there is more to this story than meets the eye. When you examine Obama’s career, you find that he has done everything in his power to encourage the current invasion.
Just seven months after Obama was sworn in as a U.S. senator in 2005, he traveled to one of the Ukrainian cities currently under Russian occupation with Sen. Dick Lugar and met with then President Viktor Yushchenko. The men discussed the destruction of Soviet-era weapons. Obama and Lugar argued that the existing Cooperative Threat Reduction Program, mandating the destruction of nuclear weapons, should be amended to include artillery, small arms, antiaircraft weapons, and other munitions. Yushchenko agreed with the senators and they secured $48 million in U.S. funding to destroy 400,000 small arms, 15,000 tons of ammunition and 1,000 antiaircraft missiles. Photographs from the trip show Obama touring a warehouse full of the type of weapons required to repel an advancing Russian invasion.
Many Ukrainians undoubtedly wish they still had some of these weapons. Still, Obama was adamant at the time: “We need to eliminate these stockpiles for the safety of the Ukrainian people and people around the world.” So, the Ukrainian people listened to him and agreed to let American taxpayers fund the destruction of the Donetsk arsenal.
Many said Obama was naive to leave Ukraine’s eastern border defenseless. But if naiveté was his flaw, the 2008 Russian invasion of Georgia did nothing to cure it.

Who else??
Certainly not Joe..
Bkmrk
If I am not mistaken…Congress at the time also voted against weapons for Ukraine because of the “far right” and “neo Nazis” within the Ukraine military.
I think the FBI or CIA even stated those neo Nazis were indoctrinating US soldiers who trained them.
We now know those far right and neo Nazis don’t exist…
Except Putin is now claiming the same as Western governments do when opposed…
Ottawa truckers were neo Nazis
Jan 6 protesters were neo Nazis
Putin is imprisoning those “neo Nazis” opposing his government, just like Canada and the US
When it comes to Putin’s rhetoric, it sounds a lot like American Democrat’s and Canadian Liberal’s rhetoric.
I wonder if Putin is using North American rhetoric against them?
Never. Ever. Disarm.
Yep he did that!!!
So why did George soros and the notary cabal disarm Ukraine if they are with Ukraine as we are told over and again?⁶
Notary jeeesh... nwo...
"After my election I will have more flexibility."
Has Ozero always been a Russian plant.?
Don’t forget, Obama also went after Honduras when Honduras when they threw out their Cuban,
Venezuelan, and Russian-backed communist leader who attempted to alter their constitution to install himself permanently as dictator. As a result of two terms of Obama, communism has advanced all over the Americas.
These two cretins are STILL running the show
