Claiming that Biden becoming president is the best thing that ever happened
for Vladimir Putin, Senator Ted Cruz told Fox News on Sunday that Europe is on the verge of war because of the weakness, the fecklessness of Joe Biden. The Texas lawmaker, who has been happy to do his part to spread Russian propaganda that benefits a man who claimed Cruzs own father helped kill JFK, followed that up with a press release on Monday declaring that BidenHarris officials are to an enormous extent directly responsible for this crisis.
Echoing those comments on Monday was Marco Rubio who, incidentally, has reportedly been happy to accept political donations from Len Blavatnik, a billionaire with longstanding ties to oligarchs close to Putin. Without referring to the president by name, though the reference was more than clear, the senator from Florida tweeted: Weakness always invites aggression. And weakness in response to aggression always invites others to be aggressive as well. Senator John Barrasso told Fox News last week that Biden talked tough but Putin doesnt respect statements, he only respects strength, claiming the president of Russia views President Biden as weak and ineffective and indecisive. In January, Senator Tom Cotton blamed Putins aggression on a year of Joe Bidens impotence and incompetence towards Russia in particular and in foreign policy more generally, somehow forgetting that Trump spent four years passionately kissing Putins ass.

Ukraine was a member of the treaty. By withdrawing, tRump shafted Ukraine, again.
American withdrawal
In October 2019, it was reported that according to documents from the U.S. House of Representatives, President Donald Trump was considering withdrawing from the Open Skies Treaty.[26][27] NATO allies and partners, in particular Ukraine, were against the move, fearing it would license Russia to reduce further or ban overflights, thus reducing their knowledge of Russian military movements.[28]
In April 2020, it was reported that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of Defense Mark Esper had agreed to proceed with U.S. withdrawal from the Treaty on Open Skies.[29] On May 21, 2020, President Trump announced that the United States would be withdrawing from the treaty due to alleged Russian violations.[30]
On 22 May 2020, the United States submitted notice of withdrawal from the Treaty on Open Skies.[31][32] Senate Democrats questioned the legality, wisdom, and appropriateness of the planned withdrawal so close to the 2020 United States presidential election.[33][34] The U.S. said it would share some of its intelligence and reconnaissance information with European allies to make up for any loss of critical information from the end of the Treaty.[35]
On 22 November 2020, United States official sourcesincluding U.S. Department of State websites, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and the National Security Council's official Twitter accountannounced that the six-month period was over and the U.S. was no longer a party to the Treaty.[36][37][38]
Russian withdrawal
In January 2021, Russia announced that it will follow the United States in withdrawing from the Treaty on Open Skies.[39] The Biden administration informed Moscow in May 2021 that it would not re-enter the pact; on 7 June 2021 Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law on that formalised Russia's exit from the Treaty on Open Skies.[40]

Pompeo was proud of helping Russia out. He's a traitor.

Also, Transparency International ranked Ukraine 117th out of 180 countries on its corruption index.

Trump is a coward. He talks tough but he is a useless piece of crap. Only good to our adversaries.
