Leadership
T-Rump
was forced to put some sanctions on the Russians when he first took office.
We
had to punish them for the Invasion of Ukraine, the illegal annexation of
Crimea, and interfering in the 206 Presidential Election.
T-Rump
didn’t want to do it. He has business with the Russian’s. He does not care a
tiddle about what is taking place in Ukraine, and the Russians interfered in
the election to help him win
Trump
did not want to punish them, not one little bit.
Do
you remember when Mitt Romney complained that Barrack Obama was being naïve
because he would not recognize Russia as a grave geo-political threat. Obama,
who was President at the time, only considered them to be a minor regional
player, albeit, with a whole lot of nuclear missiles.
I
was with Obama at the time, I thought he had the sense of things, but Russia’s
campaign in the United States caused us to have to reevaluate the extent of
their reach.
Mitt
Romney, Senator Mitt Romney now, he never quit complaining about that faux pas.
T-rump
did not want to sanction the Russians, but a sanctions bill passed anyway, with
veto proof majorities in both houses. Even the republican Congress of 2017 had
the sense to do what was right.
Then
some time passed, there was another election, T-Rump decided to ease some of
those sanctions on his own.
Eleven
Republican senators joined with the Democrats to say no. Mitt Romney, the newly
elected senator from Utah was not one of them.
Old
Willard has been pretending that he would be one of those responsible
Republicans who would stand up to Trump, but this week, when it came time to
stand up to him in relation to our biggest geo-political foe.
That
is what passes for leadership among Republicans today.
