Question: Democrats, do you prefer Obama or Trump's policies on Ukraine/Eastern Europe/Russia?

Set aside the "scandal" stuff. Think about actual policies and actions.

Obama

1. Scrapped our Bush-era missile defense agreements with Poland and other regional allies after Putin complained.

2. Refused to ever give lethal aid to Ukraine after Russia invaded on his watch.

Trump

1. Restored our missile defense agreements with Poland and other regional allies over Putin's objection.

2. Started giving lethal aid to Ukraine, most notably anti-tank javelin missiles that may be helping to turn the tide.

There's no objectively wrong answer. I'm just trying to get a sense of where Democrats stand on actual policies. Which president's stances do you prefer in this area?

Good luck trying to get any intellectual responses from any democrats. They'll defend that snake Obama even with contradictory factual evidence staring them in the face.

I’d be shocked if any could name either’s policies. They’re still awaiting instructions to be spoon fed to them so you won’t be getting any intellectual responses.

I'm still waiting for them to tell me who they like of the 2020 candidates! 😯

Do no Democrats here actually care at all about policy towards Ukraine and Russia?

Impossible to "set aside the scandal" when it comes to Trump/Ukraine, because he's guilty as sin.

[–] krl97a (5619) 5 years ago

Wrong on both counts. Which set of policies do you prefer? Missile defense and lethal aid to Ukraine, or no missile defense or lethal aid?

Obama, I would say, he also gave blankets out and let Bidens son work for an oil company in Ukraine. But thats ok, because liberal ideology.

[–] krl97a (5619) 5 years ago

At least we've dispensed with the notion that Democrats here care at all about "Russia" or "Putin".

LOL at Democrats continuing to do Putin's bidding by mindlessly trying again to make the debunked Russia Hoax happen. Since you've proven you don't care about Russia, Ukraine, or opposing Putin, at least come up with some new material. Try to make your next BS scandal interesting.
