We've been through this before in 2014 with that cunt Merkel and the good for nothing, "hope and peace and shit", Obama.

EDIT: Some people here might not like what I am saying (which I find surprising considering that Merkel rewarded Putin with Nord Stream II after the invasion of Crimea and Donbas - this is a fact), but this is a very somewhat common view in Ukraine (my use of swearing notwithstanding).

    Many outside of Ukraine don't realize that this war didn't start in 2022 but in 2014.

    Yeah, Obama was good for the US but awful to the world for appeasing Putin via his puppet Medvedev. McCain on the other hand was critical of the Russian invasion of Georgia and had strong ties to the opposition in Russia, so he was well-informed on the situation. He wouldn't enable Putin to violate international law time and time again.

    I was actually living in the US when Obama got elected. I got caught up in the Obama hype at the time (I was pretty young).

    While I admit my opinion on Obama started leaning negative in 2014, even when living in the US I didn't really understand why there was no real prosecution of major financial groups following the the 2008 great recession.
