President Barack Obama’s effort to rescue Ukraine from Russia’s military grip has stalled, and turmoil inside Ukraine’s government may hand Russian President Vladimir Putin a victory in a conflict that Obama has said involves “the most basic principles of our international system.”
Two years after the pro-western protests that toppled Kyiv’s government, enraged Putin, and caused an international crisis, Obama’s Ukraine policy is foundering — the victim of Putin’s steely determination, the distractions of Syria and ISIL, and wavering support from European allies eager to move past the conflict.
Despite personal pleas from Vice President Joe Biden, U.S. officials fear that Kyiv’s leaders are near a political implosion that would derail efforts to stabilize the country and eject Russia from its eastern territories.
“Syria has really taken the focus off of Ukraine. It feels to me like its going to be difficult for Europe to stay together and continue to pressure Russia with sanctions,” the Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Bob Corker, told POLITICO. “At some point you’re going to have a frozen conflict that’s very much to Putin’s advantage.”
Critics like Corker say that Obama’s actions have failed to live up to his rhetoric, which casts Russia’s presence in Ukraine as a grave threat to European security. Obama has rejected calls from several top advisers to provide Ukraine with weapons to fight off Moscow-backed separatists.
What, Obama and today’s members of the Nadler led Judiciary Committee worry? Not when The Obama Administration can send Blankets and then the Dems can Impeach President Trump for sending them tank missiles instead! I guess the Dems aren’t use to promise keeping Presidents who care about how the American taxpayer’s dollars are spent on what they’re intended to be spent on!
“Putin has paid no price,” Corker said, adding that European leaders have told him Putin says “there is just no push back” from the U.S.
Nonetheless, the U.S. and Europe have imposed several rounds of economic sanctions on Moscow, and in recent months Obama has beefed up America’s military presence on NATO’s eastern flank.
I think after reading this article that I linked to my comments as proof that what President Trump was not acting on behalf of himself, but for the American people. What the Pelosi, Schiff, and Nadler Democratic liars aren’t telling you, and what apparently Shifty Schiff missed about President Trump’s ‘Huge’ pattern of how he hates that America Paid $55.9 Billion in aid to foreign countries in 2018, and seems to have developed this pattern of holding up foreign assistance before, and not just Ukraine’s that just happen to have had a reputation of being the 3rd most corrupt nation in the world!
Before we move on from here you should notice the time frame. The phone call between President Trump and Zelensky occurred on July 25th, there was a cease fire between Ukraine and Russia that started on July 21st, 4 days before the phone call! What you also need to know is that from July 21st to the time of this article on August 9th, that there were 4 Ukrainian Soldiers killed with 9 wounded! Hardly the 10,000 that died under the Obama Administration’s watch that died because the Obama Administration decided that ‘Blankets’ would be more appropriate then the military aid the Ukrainian People were asking for!
Now when it comes to the phone call between Zelensky and President Trump, Trump was looking for, as well he should, for some kind of sign that the new President of Ukraine was on the up and up, and not following in the same footsteps of past corrupt Ukrainian Presidents, or in this instance, the sons of corrupt American Vice Presidents! President Trump, along with just about every leader from that part of the world already knew that Ukraine was a country with a new President who ran on doing away with corruption!
President Trump was waiting before releasing the aid, as he has a history of doing, but would only release the ‘Pause’ once he received some kind of a sign that Zelensky would be living up to his campaign promise of eliminating corruption. That sign came in the middle of August when Zelensky removed the last corrupt Prosecutor General who replaced the one that Joe Biden had fired, but still considered corrupt, and then replacing him with an honest and anti-corruption prosecutor general!
The replacement has been identified as Ruslan Ryaboshapka that has been verified by many American officials who actually went to Ukraine on 5 separate occasions with the last two being Vice President Pence on September 1st, and then the Republican Senator from Wisconsin Ron Johnson who was accompanied by Chris Murphy, a Democratic Senator from Connecticut on September 5th! Once the President got the thumbs up on President Zelensky’s anti-corruption actions he released the Military Assistance, and it wasn’t Blankets either!
Trump’s budget office ends foreign aid pause!

What the American people also need to be aware of is that at the time President Trump was holding up as much as $4 billion in total aid across 10 areas of foreign assistance, including funds for international peacekeeping operations, narcotics control and global health efforts.
President Donald Trump‘s budget office on Friday ended its pause on several pots of foreign aid amid mounting bipartisan backlash.
A senior administration official said the funding halt, which the Office of Management and Budget requested last weekend, was “temporary.
Nadler Judiciary Committee Dems claim that after the cease fire between Ukraine’s President Zelinsky and Putin of Russia on July 21, 2019 that the largest number of Ukrainians killed was on August 7, 2019 while the supposed ‘Quid Pro Quo’ pause of Military aid to Ukraine was still going on, and as a result now labeling President Trump basically as the murderer and cause!
I guess the murders occurring in Democratic run Sanctuary cities, which by the way is no longer mentioned in today’s ‘Deep State’ run ‘Paid to Report’ Mainstream Print and Visual Media doesn’t count, and that’s even if the count makes what’s going on in Ukraine over the same period of time minuscule in comparison!

Ukrainian President Zelensky spoke to Putin about soldiers killed in Donbas!
~ Thursday, August 8, 2019 8:00:00 AM
On the morning of August 7, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had a “long conversation” with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the death of Ukrainian soldiers near the village of Pavlopil.
“This morning I spoke to Russian President Putin about it. I told him that it doesn’t bring us closer to peace. I am imploring [him] to use his influence to stop that side from killing our people. The second issue that I raised was that we are continuing to de-mine, and that we need to reduce the time for building the bridge from that side,” Zelensky said at a press conference.
“We had a long conversation. I say that our people are being killed, and they say there that there are some parts where our people are shooting at civilians… You know, everyone says that they want peace. Everyone talks about it, but apart from words, we need to move forward quickly,” the Ukrainian President remarked.
He said that later on Wednesday he planned to talk to French President Emmanuel Macron on the phone, and possibly also to German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
“[I want] to arrange an urgent meeting, so that we no longer say: ‘This year there must be a meeting in the Normandy format’. But how many more people could die this year?” said Zelensky.
“We need urgently, in the very near future, to meet with the leaders of the Normandy four, to look each other in the eye, and put an end to this war,” Zelensky stressed.
Zelensky also noted that the incident in Pavlopil could affect the schedule of his visit to Turkey.
“I was already supposed to fly to Turkey. Now we will take off urgently. If something happens on our side, I will have to return. Turkey is aware of this, President Erdogan is understanding about it. But I hope that everything will be normal, everything will be peaceful,” Zelensky explained.
Ukrainian Chief of General Staff Ruslan Khomchak, who was present at the press conference, said that since the start of the ceasefire on July 21!
‘Four Ukrainian soldiers have been killed and nine wounded.’
The number of shots fired during this time has decreased significantly, and most of them have been provocative in nature, but there have been cases where the militants have shot with precision. One such case took place on Tuesday in Pavlopil and led to the death of four soldiers.
“It was a shot from a grenade launcher, a 82 mm mortar shell was screwed on, which landed directly in the trench where the soldiers were engaged in engineering work on the position. The soldiers were ready to give a response, but according to our information, the enemy abandoned his position…” Khomchak explained.
The Pelosi led Democrats not only keep moving the ‘Goal Posts’ when it comes to what they’re hiding since Hillary lost, but doubling down on the fact that they believe that those who voted for President Trump are Deplorables and their followers are what Stalin proclaims are ‘Useful Idiots!’
