“Former Army Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman said Saturday that former President Donald Trump “bears enormous burden of responsibility” for the Russia-Ukraine war.”
Yes, Vindman is that stupid.
Vindman, who testified in the House during the first impeachment proceedings against Trump in 2019, appeared on MSNBC when he was asked about how the situation in Ukraine ties to the actions of the Trump administration.
“What is happening on the other side of the world in Ukraine, a country from which you hail, is directly tied to the attacks on democracy that you witnessed in the White House while you were the director for European affairs at the National Security Council,” MSNBC host Ali Velshi stated.
Vindman brought up Trump’s first impeachment trial when the former president was accused of withholding military aid to Ukraine unless Ukrainian officials investigated Joe Biden’s son, Hunter. The House voted to impeach him while the Senate voted to acquit him.
And in retrospect, knowing what we know now, was he wrong?
On Saturday, the former colonel said: “The first impeachment of Donald Trump was all about holding up aid to Ukraine. He blocked javelins, he blocked aid to Ukraine. That’s why he was impeached. He did that in exchange for aid, a helping hand with regards to trying to steal the 2020 election.”
We don’t owe Ukraine a damned thing. If they wanted some help, well, one hand washes the other.
Next time you need to make a leftist have a tiny intracranial implosion, point out that the first actual kinetic aid from the US was only because of Trump.
