Trump campaign guts GOP’s anti-Russia stance on Ukraine

[ABX]

The platform now sides with Putin.

The Trump campaign worked behind the scenes last week to make sure the new Republican platform won’t call for giving weapons to Ukraine to fight Russian and rebel forces, contradicting the view of almost all Republican foreign policy leaders in Washington.

Throughout the campaign, Trump has been dismissive of calls for supporting the Ukraine government as it fights an ongoing Russian-led intervention. Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, worked as a lobbyist for the Russian-backed former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych for more than a decade.....

This was a concession. When you own people you get concessions. So for anyone not owning Roman P. Trump.

Come on... trusting the USA is so 20th Century.

This is the Obama-Trump era, where allies are to be used and tossed aside.

It's wrong but one would see the same thing from Pat Buchanan say, just check Buchanan's columns.

On the other hand, some say Senator Jeff Sessions is a staunch supporter for Ukraine.

I don't attack the messenger and say therefore it is invalid but this is the Washington Post after all.

Meaning let's really see what is up. Sessions is a big Putin critic.

Trump is very much pro-dictator and pro-tyranny.

The US should do what we can to help Ukraine regain its independence and sovereignty

It's definitely not my party and doesn't even resemble my party

Trump to Ukraine: I Will Make US Military 'Very, Very Strong"

Front-running GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump — on the stump in Ukraine via video link to a gathering of European leaders — lashed out at President Barack Obama's foreign policy and vowed to make the U.S. military "very, very strong."

"Our president is not strong, and he is not doing what he should be doing for the Ukraine," Trump, speaking from New York, declared to the Yalta European Strategy Forum, told an annual gathering of politicians and business people organized by Ukrainian businessman Viktor Pinchuk, Politico reports.
He added, "[Russian President Vladimir] Putin does not respect our president whatsoever."

what Trump says has a maximum shelf life of 24 business hours.  I doubt  he even remembers saying what you posted above.
