Marie Yovanovitch says Putin didn't need to invade Ukraine while Trump was president because he 'could just sit back and let the good times roll' with Trump
Business insider ^ | 03/24/2022 | Sonam Sheth and Nicole Gaudiano

Posted on 03/24/2022 4:27:02 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Marie Yovanovitch told Insider in an interview that Russian President Vladimir Putin didn't need to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine when Donald Trump was president because Trump was giving Putin everything he wanted.

With Trump, Yovanovitch said, Putin "could just sit back and let the good times roll."

Yovanovitch, Trump's former ambassador to Ukraine, said the former president showed "strong, clear admiration" for Putin and other strongmen, disparaged US allies, and had longstanding "negative" views on NATO and other global alliances.

Another foreigner. Born in Canada, damned traitor to America in favor of Ukraine. Part of the Vindman plot.

She’s making it sound like Trump was weak or apathetic regards Ukraine/Russia and allowed Putin to do what he wanted.

Who knows what is real and especially what people were thinking.

Actions tell us that Trump sent lethal aid to Ukraine, and had SF operating there. Just remember, Democrat caused wars are good wars where we drop democracy bombs and launch freedom missiles. Any Republican war is “no blood for oil.”

He did however respect boundaries, which Biden crossed when he ignored what had been a long established standard, that Ukraine shall not join NATO.

I suppose if Biden wants to take credit for causing a war, that would be an accurate assessment.

I don't remember that from her testimony.

Her and Vindman stuck in my head as actually being loyal to Russia. In fact, Russia actually solicited Vindman.

The complete idiocy of this. Trump aggressively pursued US Energy Independent thus crippling Russian primary export market and virtually bankrupting Putin's economy.

Trump was offering stability in Ukraine. Trump was impeached for turning over the rocks of the illegitimate thugs now in the White House and their Ukrainian stooges. Trump was trying to implement America First and was striving for an independent Ukraine. Biden has used his sanctions stick to beat hell out of the American consumer. Trump would have used a tsunami of Bakken oil and Pennsylvania gas to destroy Putin and the Russian economy had Putin actually started this process. Trump would have kept the peace. It was a catastrophe for the whole world when Trump was jobbed out of the presidency.

She was. This is an arrogant life time swamp witch pissed off because Trump, recognizing her incompetence, terminated her career. This is sour grapes.

That BI thinks she is a credible source raises serious questions about BI’s journalistic credibility.

“She represents the corrupt State Department that helped make Ukraine a Soros/DNC playground.”

One of my relatives worked most of his adult life as an American Embassy economic consul in the State Dept. and was sent all over the world to cut economic deals with foreign gov’ts. He was so far left (as are the majority of the State Dept. employees from top down) that he could have fallen off the edge of the globe were it flat. They all are, and this woman is yet another example of it.

The State Dept. foreign service is hopelessly socialist and should be gutted and repopulated with sane employees as opposed to the irrational, illogical infestation that are currently employed by our US(SR) State Department.

Business Insider, the source, is a left wing operation and never has had anything good to say about Trump.

This is an example of the deep staters that are called foreign intelligence experts who tell you Hunter’s laptop is fake, Russia rigged the 2016 election for Trump and that we need to save that birthplace of democracy, Ukraine, to make it safe for US/NATO nuke missiles....errr.. I mean, so it can spread it’s eternal shining example of real freedom throughout the world.

Trump was gonna break Joe and the deep state piggybank.

She wouldn’t stand for it...her Lt Col Vindman.

Putin gave Joe a number of months to correct the issues in Ukraine and when he didn’t....game over.

I use to ride up elevators in DC with these guys. Thousand dollar suits and suitcase filled with hundreds of millions.

The corruption was palpable.

Yes - she *should* have been fired was meant to portray that it was the correct and just thing to do.

The fact she is still receiving awards, etc. after those e-mails were revealed is appalling.

Putin respected Trump because Trump was a straight shooter, not a deceitful, dishonest fraudster like Obama and Biden. And Putin knew if he started any such foolishness as he did February 24th, Trump would made him suffer a dozen ways. And if Putin threatened the nuclear bomb, Trump would have told him that Putin’s whereabouts are know at all times and the first US missile landing in Russia would have his name on it. Putin knew he had better let the good times roll.
