How Clinton and Obama disarmed and abandoned Ukraine renewamerica.com/c/21103
Hillary Clinton accuses many people of being Russian agents, but it was her husband, President Clinton, who engineered the disarmament of Ukraine in the so-called Budapest Memorandum. It was an executive agreement and not a treaty, meaning that Congress had not approved it
It was signed by Ukraine, the Russian Federation, the United States, and Britain on December 5, 1994, and marked Ukraine's accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) as a non-nuclear weapons state.
In 2012, two years before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, President Obama declared the Nunn-Lugar legislation a success, saying, "...it was Dick who took me on my first foreign trip as a Senator – to Russia and Ukraine and Azerbaijan.
We were there to see the Cooperative Threat Reduction program [Nunn-Lugar] in action." During that trip abroad, in a strange development, Russian authorities detained Obama and Lugar, threatened to search their plane, and examined their passports.
A frequent traveler to Russia and the old Soviet Union, the late Indiana Senator Dick Lugar was one of the most left-wing Republican U.S. senators on foreign policy issues, ....
....having proudly accepted campaign contributions from the pro-world government group Citizens for Global Solutions (CGS). He was Obama's mentor on foreign policy and gave the Democrat bipartisan cover for his globalist policies.
Speaking at the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction Symposium being held at the National War College, Obama noted that in the audience, "We're joined by some of our Russian friends today." ....
....Obama went on, "Let's work with Russia as an equal partner. Let's continue the work that's so important to the security of both our countries. And I'm optimistic that we can."
It sounds like Russian collusion.
It sounds like Russian collusion.
It would have been better to let the weapons decay in Ukraine than financially underwrite the process of paying Russia to take or dismantle them. Another alternative would have been to use American personnel to help safeguard the material.
After all, Ukraine had access to the weapons. But pressure from Washington forced them to capitulate to a deal that benefited Russia.
Once again, it was a case of Russian collusion.
Once again, it was a case of Russian collusion.
The leaders of Ukraine saw they were being cornered and a trap was being set. Obama failed to help the nation get out of the trap set by Clinton.
But our media insist that it's Trump's fault that Ukraine is vulnerable to Russian aggression because he asked the country to investigate corruption that involved Joe Biden's son
Meanwhile, Trump gave the Ukrainians the weapons Obama denied them.
The impeachment of Trump over Ukraine is what the professional magicians call misdirection.
