Unlike Obama: President Trump sold weapons to Ukraine. He bombed Assad, took on Russian mercenaries. He provided Poland with working Patriot missiles. He didn't base his policy around fearing to offend Moscow. Unlike Obama, he stood up to Russia
“How did we get into this mess?" Obama asked Putin.
It was the summer of ’09 and the two men, one a former community organizer and the other a former KGB officer, were sitting on the veranda of Putin’s dacha. While Obama noshed on three types of pricey caviar, Putin took a bite out of his junior colleague by delivering an extended denunciation of America.
Obama listened without a word of protest to Putin’s attack on America. According to Michael McFaul, his point man on Russia who has been attacking Trump prominently in the media, "the history lesson was even rather helpful because it enabled him to emphasize to Putin: well, I'm different, I'm new."
