so the conditions 5 years ago, are the same as now or even 2 or 3 years from then?Who told you that and was it in context?And why would obama not give them lethal aid...oh yeah, as we learned on that video.....he told putin he would be able to be more flexible after he was re-elected....
This is not about Obama + congress approved aid given ,and congress gave appropriate aid according to Dr. HIll.
Hill is a hack....when obama was in office she wrote a paper on why military aid should not be given, now she is all for giving military aid...you moron.
Here you go...
Under Obama, Democrat Witness Fiona Hill Argued Against Lethal Aid For Ukraine
During the Democrats’ partisan impeachment hearings on Thursday, their witness Fiona Hill, a former White House official, testified she was concerned that a hold on aid might endanger Ukraine’s security. But in 2015, Hill penned an op-ed in the Washington Post arguing that providing lethal weapons to Ukraine would be a mistake.
In both her closed-door testimony last month and her public hearing on Thursday, Hill said she was concerned about Ukraine’s safety and stability as it defends itself against Russia should President Trump continue to withhold aid.
But while she was the director of the Center on the United States and Europe at the Brookings Institution a few years prior, Hill wrote an op-ed titled “How aiding the Ukrainian military could push Putin into a regional war,” in which she strongly disagreed with the idea that “increasing the Ukrainian army’s fighting capacity … would allow it to kill more rebels and Russian soldiers.”
“It is hard to find effective alternatives to the current sanctions policy, but if we plunge headlong into sending weapons, we may lose our allies, and we may never have the opportunity to get things right,” Hill wrote.
Other witnesses who testified before the House Intelligence Committee admitted that Trump’s policy of denying lethal defensive assistance to the Ukrainians has been more effective than President Barack Obama’s policies in Ukraine and Russia.
Hill also previously testified that she has absolutely no direct knowledge of both the phone call with Ukraine and why the aid was withheld.
we can't evolve?? progress? learn from mistakes?
Now that is funny...obama in office....military aid bad.....Trump in office, and she runs up there to attack him........after he provides military aid which she now supports......
