It's a definite improvement to horseshoe, but it does miss out on the fact that a lot of them are literally paid actors.

Putin started it in 2014 by annexing Crimea and violating Ukraine's sovereignty. That Ukrainians decided to depose Yanukovych was none of Russia's business.

Did Trump send Ukraine weapons that Obama and Biden withheld?

"The weapons that Ukraine used in the early days of this war to fend off the Russian invasion are the weapons that Donald Trump sent, that Barack Obama and Joe Biden had refused to send," Cotton said.

Cotton spokesperson Patrick McCann told PolitiFact that Cotton was referring to Javelins, antiarmor missiles provided by the Trump administration. In 2014, Obama rejected a request by Ukraine for those weapons. Biden was Obama’s vice president.

Trump reversed Obama’s policy; in 2018, the Trump administration approved a plan to sell Ukraine Javelin missiles for $47 million.

"As you can see, it is clear that this form of lethal aid was both important and provided by the Trump administration and not the Obama-Biden one," McCann said.

That's from Tom Cotton, one of Trump's fiercest advocates.

They were for the Ukraine War before they were against it. Pure shills for the MIC. They're only running away from Ukraine now that the conflict has gone south and they can't preen in front of a Mission Accomplished banner on this one.
