    What makes the comment weak and trumpish? They bring up a good point in that Europe has delayed this level of support until now. Why did they wait so long on something so important when that level of support earlier on could’ve prevented Russia from daring to push further? Is that not the purpose of having Ukraine join NATO, to give a security guarantee that would stop Russia from even thinking of invading in the future? Yes, the support now is good, but we have to look at the situation critically to understand how we can do better in the future.

        You mean the comment where you went on a complete nonsequitur? They didn’t criticize assisting Ukraine, they criticized the fact that they didn’t aide Ukraine.

          Oh, look, OP admitting he was out of pocket a full day before you decided to stick your head in.

          Also? Don’t use terms you don’t understand. It’s embarrassing for everyone else to have to see it.
