Americans, take note, Zelenskyy is a man who will debase himself for the good of his country. Karma tends to be a huge asshole when it comes to stuff like this. (lemmy.world)

"looking like a dick idiot in front of the world."

I watched 11 minutes of it. Normally I don’t yell at a screen unless my work computer freezes and I haven’t save in 10min. I was YELLING at the screen. Like full on crazy man. The audacity to change the narrative to the guy who’s being invaded is astounding.

Can someone fact check him about the Obama gave sheets, Trump gave Javelins? I'm not really clear on whether Trump was in office at all when the Javelins were handed to Ukraine.

No this is correct. Obama was much more restrained towards Russia, probably keeping in mind the disaster of the Georgian invasion in 8/8/08. He ignored a lot of bad shit that went down in 2014, going against the hawkish members of his own cabinet as well. Lethal aid started under trump

Ah okay, this was during the occupation of Crimea then. It's not really possible to view that separate from the current situation but arguably, Trump was not in office during this Russian 'military operation'.

It wasn't just crimea, the coup/invasion of the donbass area happened in 2014 as well. It was extremely poorly reported in mainstream media because the Obama admin didn't want to rock the boat and thought they could talk Putin down
