Five Ukrainian Fables | RealClearPolitics

Five Ukrainian Fables | RealClearPolitics -  Victor Davis Hanson 
Fable one: Trump is appeasing Russia?
  • Who wiped out the Wagner group in Syria? Who sold offensive weapons to Ukraine first? Who warned Germany not to become dependent on the Russian Nord Stream II deal?
  • Who withdrew from an unfair missile deal with the Russians? Who cajoled and berated NATO members to meet their military investment promises made following the 2014 invasion of Ukraine?
  • In contrast, who originally conceived a Russian "reset" in 2009? Who publicly virtue-signaled pushing the red "reset" button in Geneva with the current Russian Minister Sergey Lavrov?
  • Which ex-European leader got a million euros a year working for Russian energy companies?
  • Of the last four presidents, under whose watch did Putin not invade another country?
  • Which American president, in hot-mic style, offered to (and did) dismantle U.S.-Eastern Europe missile defense plans in exchange for temporary Putin quietude ("space") to aid his 2012 reelection?
Fable two: A trade war?...
