Which of the following U.S. presidents cancelled plans to protect Eastern Europe from Russian aggression by deploying missile interceptors in Poland, a decision that Vladimir Putin praised as "very right and brave"?
Joe Biden
Barack Obama
Donald Trump
Answer
In 2009, President Obama cancelled U.S. plans to protect Eastern Europe from Russian aggression by deploying missile interceptors in Poland. Vladimir Putin praised this decision as "very right and brave." In 2012 shortly after Putin was elected president under a cloud of electoral fraud, Obama put his hand on the knee of the outgoing president, Dmitry Medvedev, and stated the following while unaware that a microphone was recording them: "On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this can be solved but it's important for him [Putin] to give me space." Medvedev: "Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you." Obama: "This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility." Medvedev: "I understand you. I transmit this information to Vladimir, and I stand with you
Which U.S. President and VP refused to provide lethal weapons - to Ukraine when Russia previously invaded?
Correct Answer Obama & Biden
In 2014 when Russia invaded Ukraine, President Barack Obama and VP Joe Biden refused to provide Ukraine with lethal weapons to defend itself, despite repeated requests from the Ukrainian government. This led Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to remark, "Blankets and night vision goggles are important, but one cannot win a war with a blanket." Within a year of taking office, President Trump approved the transfer of lethal weapons to Ukraine. Sarah Palin predicted that if Obama was elected as president, his "indecision and moral equivalence" about Russia's invasion of Georgia is "the kind of response that would only encourage Russia's Putin to invade Ukraine next." When she said this, Foreign Policy, "one of the most credible names in international politics and global affairs," ridiculed her statement as "strange" and reported that "this is an extremely far-fetched scenario."
