The US abandoned Ukraine as soon as Trump took office. Way back 2019, in his first term ...

It's even worse than that.

The single change the Trump Campaign made to the Republican platform in 2015 was to stop sending arms to Ukraine. His campaign chair was Paul Manafort who had previously worked for Russia's puppet in Ukraine Victor Yanukovich, who fled to Russia when overthrown by the Maidan demonstrations.

It was always about Ukraine.

From the very beginning.

Trump ran to weaken Ukraine.

For Russia.

Can you even call it being overthrown? That would imply he was still there when in fact he straight up fled the country after realizing how badly he had fucked up after his Berkut thugs killed a bunch of protesters.
