That's maybe true, though I feel like adding that the left spin probably has more basis in fact. Trump sure looked unwilling and pressured to do something that is really not all that much, and that he's a puppet is a point that at least can be argued quite well.

The right spin not only alleges Trump waiting until he got all information, which is not what he's generally famous for. In this wording, it also claims Obama jumping into sanctions, which is a bit of a tough stance, given that he reacted to seizing parts of a souvereign nation plus election meddling.

This.

So if we look at the record we have so far, looks the like "the left" is right and and the right is wrong.

"Waiting until he got all the information" is generally what Obama is famous for.  Off hand I cannot think of where Obama jumped in with both feet only to find he got it wrong.  The right always urged him to jump and he wisely refused.
