Sen. Tom Cotton: I've Noticed That Vladimir Putin Only Attacks Ukraine When Democrats Are President

Posted • June 19, 2024: Cotton: "I think it's important to look at the context of what's happened in Ukraine over the last 10 years.

I have noticed that Vladimir Putin only invades Ukraine when Democrats are president.

It happened under Barack Obama.

It happened under Joe Biden.

It didn't happen with Donald Trump.

In fact, the weapons that Ukraine used in the early days of this war to fend off the Russian invasion are the weapons that Donald Trump sent, that Barack Obama and Joe Biden had refused to send.

One reason why Joe Biden — or why Vladimir Putin thought he could get away with going for the jugular in Ukraine is because of the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, which projected weakness and indecision.

It was just a few weeks later that he began to mass troops on Ukraine's border."
