Thanks for the assist. So Russia did not invade Crimea while Obama was President?

Russia did take over Crimea during the Obama administration. Ukraine asked Obama for military help and got blankets and meals. It was the giving up of their nuclear weapons that happened during the Bush1 and Clinton administrations.

That Republican politicians and pundits have not made this well known to all Americans show how weak they are.

I was responding to your comment #202 in which you said that Obama had Ukraine disarm themselves with promises to defend. Ukraine had been disarmed of its large battery of nukes during 1991 and 1996 under Bush 1 and Clinton. So it was Bush 1 who probably was involved in the negotiations that started the defanging of Ukraine which then continued and ended in the first 2 or 3 Clinton years. Russia did invade Crimea while Obama was President, but I don’t know what promises or commitments Obama had at that time, but Ukraine’s nuclear umbrella was long gone by that time.
