Obama: I Was Worried About Triggering Further Russian Invasion if I Armed and Trained Ukraine (breitbart.com) "The former president discussed Russia and Ukraine in an interview with Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg.
Obama dismissed questions about whether he regretted not doing more to defend Ukraine, as the late Sen. John McCain urged his administration to do, when Putin was moving into eastern parts of Ukraine.
“ 'I actually don’t because the circumstances were different,” he replied.
"Obama said arming and training Ukrainians at that time could have triggered Russia to invade further.
“ 'We were also concerned about making sure that we did not give an excuse for a further incursion, and a lot of the arguments back then had to do with arming Ukraine which in turn could have provided those kinds of excuses and you had issues of training,” he said.
"Obama provided humanitarian aid to Ukraine but resisted sending arms such as anti-tank Javelins and other weapons.". . .
From the comments to this post:
Obama was an absolute foreign policy blunder. Syria, Crimea, North Korea….the list is lengthy. They could smell what a wuss he was. They smell the same wussiness in Biden
Obama : “Arming and training Ukrainian’s at that time could have triggered Russia further, so I sent them blankets instead.”
2005 quote from Senator Obama: “We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked, and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently, and lawfully to become immigrants in this country.”
"Again, who was the clown who said:
"I promise 100% transparency in my administration.”.
“I promise NO NEW TAXES on a family making less than $250K a year.”.
“I will allow 5 days of public comment before I sign any bills.”.
“I will remove earmarks before I sign any bill.”.
“I will end Income Tax for seniors making less than $50K a year.”.
“I’ll put the Health Care negotiations on CSPAN so everyone can see who is at the table!”
“I’ll have no lobbyists in my administration."
"I'll close Guantanamo Bay."
"I believe marriage is between one man and one woman."
"I won't seek re-election unless unemployment falls below 5%."
"I'll unite the people of this great country."
“If you like your insurance you can keep it”
“If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.”
And please don’t forget those “shovel ready jobs”.
America under Obama bullied and mocked by our enemies around the world.
