Obama was a very overrated president,
DonT is the most dangerous president, but Obama is very close to be at the same level (omissions)

This "no shots fired in Crimea" myth repeated by Trump is offensive. Ukrainian service personnel were killed during Russia's annexation operation.

Videos like this one, composed of material posted online by Russian forces in 2014, make the violent force of the operation clear.

Someone in his administration could watch Ostrovsky’s excellent “Russian Roulette” series and maybe learn something, we all know he wouldn’t t have the attention span.

By 2014, Yanukovych had largely hollowed out Ukraine's military capabilities, to say nothing of the entirely lost navy. Obama absolutely didn't take the annexation & invasion threat seriously enough, but it's worth pointing out that much of the Ukrainian military in 2014 was in disarray.
