My misgivings have been exactly what has happened, presaged by recent history of the Left in America.
From an article on National Review by Andrew McCarthy in February of this year:
" To repeat what I said at the time,
“The American government official who was at the forefront of disarming Ukraine was none other than Senator Barack Obama. The Daily Mail had the report back in March:"
“As a U.S. senator, Barack Obama won $48 million in federal funding to help Ukraine destroy thousands of tons of guns and ammunition – weapons which are now unavailable to the Ukrainian army as it faces down Russian President Vladimir Putin during his invasion of Crimea. In August 2005, just seven months after his swearing-in, Obama traveled to Donetsk in Eastern Ukraine with then-Indiana Republican Senator Dick Lugar, touring a conventional weapons site. The two met in Kiev with President Victor Yushchenko, making the case that an existing Cooperative Threat Reduction Program covering the destruction of nuclear weapons should be expanded to include artillery, small arms, anti-aircraft weapons, and conventional ammunition of all kinds. After a stopover in London, the senators returned to Washington and declared that the U.S. should devote funds to speed up the destruction of more than 400,000 small arms, 1,000 anti-aircraft missiles, and more than 15,000 tons of ammunition.”
“A press release from then-Senator Lugar’s office included then-Senator Obama’s puerile proclamation that eliminating Ukraine’s stocks of conventional weapons would ensure ‘the safety of the Ukrainian people and people around the world, by keeping them out of conflicts around the world.’””
Misgivings about the whole affair since then, but especially since Biden’s gaffe-filled presidency and Afghanistan. Isn’t is always about what is good for the Leftists and not what is good for the US or any piddling nation in the way?
The US and others have been dithering about a two state solution for Israel and Palestine for many decades. This happens during Obama’s and Biden’s leadership? And…the world teeters on the edge of war because of it?
Yes, I had misgivings. I submit that the Left and other Oligarchs knowingly used history to bring on their planned future for the West. Putin is not THE Ultimate Bad
Guy in this drama. I have great misgivings about the government of Ukraine, as well.
Don’t you?
And, what was up with the failure of the meetings in Turkey? News is a cease fire or compromise was possible, but the deal went bust.
I don’t know. I don’t know how to know what the secretive governments have at stake over this conflict.
Misgivings…
