MESOPOTAMIA NEWS : TRUMP WAS MORE TOUGH ON RUSSIA  / A SHORT DEBATE

 

Kyle Orton Retweeted Michael McFaul – 20 April 2019 – You’re deliberately evading the point. Trump has been tougher on Russia than Obama ever was. You can say it’s not tough enough; I would. But it doesn’t alter what Obama did to allow Moscow’s rampage from Ukraine to Syria that Trump is now having to deal with.

Stalin started the Cold War on Trumans watch. By your logic, Eisenhower should have just ignored Stalins earlier belligerent actions and embraced Stalin. (Thankfully our past presidents did not use such logic!) https://twitter.com/kyleworton/status/1119391250053050368  …

But Obama had tougher rhetoric on Russia and expressed “concern” and the State Department expressed “concern”. It’s like how the EU is very tough on Russia. Western powers tend to value rhetoric over action. So that’s how we get to the theory that Obama was tough on Russia
