There becomes a separate issue that has to be looked at without Trump's name being brought up.
Putin actually invaded the Crimean Peninsula part of Ukraine in 2014 with Obama as President.
The major invasion on Ukraine occurred in 2022 when Biden was President.
Why would Obama & Biden not be able to deter Putin from making moves like these ?

in a practical manner.
You can’t just ignore a major part of the equation. Putin isn’t an idiot. They worked to get Trump elected. They were looking for an American ally and/or a puppet. And they found one.

“The nearly 1,000-page report, the fifth and final one from the Republican-led Senate intelligence committee on the Russia investigation, details how Russia launched an aggressive effort to interfere in the election on Trump's behalf. “
And in return they were getting the type of results they wanted.

“Bolton wrote that he had to convince Trump not to quit NATO in the middle of a 2018 summit.”
Most of our elected officials know or at least used to know that Russia isn’t our friend.
The RNC changed their platform as Trump came in control of the party.

His right hand man was busy doing scumbag shit working with Russian interests in Ukraine. He got busted and ended up getting pardoned by you know who.

Right now we know Russia interferes in our elections and conducts cyber warfare on us. We know Russia is allied with Iran, North Korea, and China in their war on our democratic ally in Europe right now. Trump praising the leadership and wanting to cozy up to that is as un-American as it gets.
