It goes back well before Trump.
So Trump is pointing out an ongoing problem and democrats are calling him a “warmonger?”
Do you think we should indefinitely carry Nato’s financial load?
What do you think should be done to fix this situation?
I guess now that you put it that way, sure, have Putin roll those tanks in and spill some blood to teach them a lesson. Who needs peace anyway?

I think the first rule of being a stooge is probably something like “don’t kill your boss’s soldiers!”
So how’s that work?
Putin was not happy about Trump selling Javelin to Ukraine. Javelin is defensive and Obama’s wimpy @ss would not bite his lip and tell Putin that unless his tanks came into Ukraine, then neither he nor his tanks/tank crews would have to worry about Javelin.
Trump justified it that way, Javelin is defense only. America was not selling heavy weapons to Ukraine to do anything other than to allow Ukraine to defend itself.
They hysteria here is embarrassing and unserious, the people posting are uninformed and willfully ignorant. I thought people from in and around DC would be smarter but they are not. I also don’t discount they propagate willfully false information because they do not like Trump. They have made this thread and it’s completely false and stupid. Trump has helped Ukraine from the start and against the wishes of Putin.
Then why is he telling the GOP to hold Ukraine aid now? Why is he telling the world that the US won't be a part of NATO under a second term? Why is he isgnalling that murdering Navalny is ok, just like murdering Khossghi was ok?
NATO countries need to pay the minimum (2%) and stop dependence on US taxpayers.
And that message has been delievered consistently by US Presidents since 2010 and it does take time for countries to adjust their budgeting, which they did starting in 2017-2018 after years of Obama calling it out. Trump was right to continue Obama's policy.

translation: Trump brought attention to this ongoing problem in a very public way, a way most Americans pay attention to. (omg TRUMP IS A WARMONGERING WARMONGER HALP US PETE BUTTEIGIG RIDE YOUR BIKE INTO MAR A LAGO AND DEFEET HIM!11!!”)
Now, for the election cycle, a few countries will expend the minimum amount agreed to. *weak clapping, clears throat, whispers: “remember, Trump is Hotler.” leaves podium without taking a single question.*
Nope

Trump was smart enough to give Ukraine heavy weaponry to fight Russian tanks.
Obama was not; also, Obama didn’t want to anger Putin.
Trump is fighting with Ukraine and Obama let Putin take Crimea.
No, Russipublicans are the reason that the US hasn’t been able to send sufficient aid. And that’s the way the Party of Russia likes it.
Time to send in American soldiers! Let’s get major skin in the game. Send your son, he is going to fight for Ukraine, right?
