Obviously a Putin asset. Unlike flexible Obama, who let Putin run over Crimea, move into Syria, supported Iran and Hezbollah and tried to kill our energy production, all things coincidentally helpful to Russia and its interests. Obama is also the one who urged Ukraine to give up its nuclear weapons and the U.S. promised protection in exchange, but Obama did nothing.
Via The Hill:
The Trump administration on Wednesday approved the sale of lethal arms to Ukraine’s government as the country battles pro-Russian separatists in its eastern provinces.
The Washington Post reported Wednesday that the administration approved the sale of Model M107A1 Sniper Systems and associated equipment to the country at a value of $41.5 million. The administration has not yet moved to approve heavier arms requested by Ukraine’s government, including Javelin anti-tank missiles.
The move from the White House is a departure from the Obama administration, which frequently condemned Russian aggression in the Ukraine but refused to approve the sale of arms to the country’s western-aligned government.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) applauded the Trump administration’s decision in a statement to the Post.
