Ukraine wouldn't be in this mess if Obama had done something when Russia took Crimea

World Affairs (Except Middle East)

Somehow everyone forgets about this.

It apparently wasn't our responsibility to throw billions of dollars of resources and cash at Ukraine when Russia annexed Crimea. Even though it was obvious Russia would eventually want to expand further, we did nothing about it. Now, years later, there are Russians fully entrenched in the Crimea area, and Ukraine refuses any settlement that wont get them Crimea back, which has turned the whole thing into a new meat grinder forever war. And of course, Biden was VP at the time, but somehow neither Obama or he catch any criticism about their poor decisions leading us here, when this was some textbook "Peace in our time" bs.
