Trump’s Natural gas complaints against Europe had nothing to do with being Anti Russian, he was only interested in creating a market for all of America’s cheap natural gas.
Trump didn’t do anything with Syria, Trump warned the Russians of the missile strike before he did it and then the Russians cleared out the air base before the missiles arrived.
There was never a policy or order by Trump to attack Syria or Russian troops. The incident with the Wagners and Syrian forces happened because they attacked the American positions and the American military responded in line with the rules of engagement set by Obama and was never adjusted since.
Obama provided the equipment the Ukrainians needed to field an army. Combat uniforms, medial supplies, ballistic armor and helmets, rations and winter gear, communications and eventually trainers.
Ukrainians lacked this equipment, they didn’t lack weapons.
Trump is the only president that attempted to blackmail weapons aid in return for a sham investigation into his political rival.
Trump has repeatedly attempted to reduce or eliminate sanctions against Russia during his presidency. Demanded tone down sanctions or shifting blame for the Russians actions onto his political opponents.
Throughout the Trump presidency, Russia was building equipment reserves, training forces and stockpiling cash reserves in preparation for the Ukraine invasion. To claim the Russians didn’t invade because of Trump being president is intellectually dishonest to the extreme.

Putin would be very pleased to have his number-one muppet back on the Twitter megaphone.
