If you're talking about Crimea then... well yeah, wasn't that going to happen anyway?
Not sure why Trump gets the blame for things that already happened on Obama's watch.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoBecause politics. Nobody cares about facts or things making some sort of sense. All that matters is a good soundbite.
- lostlogin 10y agoWho's blaming Trump for Putin's invasion?
- marcosdumay 10y agoThe people that usually push that line. They are mostly blaming Trump for Obama not stating WWIII. I dunno what they really expect. There is a huge pile of problems anybody must settle before the US can demand Russia to free the Crimea (and one of them is actually establishing that Crimea wants to be freed).
- lostlogin 10y agoWow, that's a low bar. So as long as you can demonstrate that the population likes an invasion after fact, it's all ok? It's also ok to solve problems separately, they don't all have to be solved at the same time or in a particular order.
- marcosdumay 10y agoThere was a plebiscite before the invasion. You have to show it was rigged (probably was, but I know nothing). I don't think anybody even tried.
- macintux 10y agoTrump gets the blame for saying idiotic things about it ("Russia's not going into Ukraine") and laying out the red carpet for Russia to do similar things to our NATO allies, not for the Crimean occupation itself.
- PerfectDlite 10y ago> well yeah, wasn't that going to happen anyway? Same "peaceniks" attitude was expressed about Hitler anschluss. We all knew what happened next.
- loafa 10y agoSo what do you want to do? Start WW3 against Russia? Because that's the other option here.
- PerfectDlite 10y agoReally? Do you see no other options? Like, you know, sanctions?
