Democrats claim high ground on defending Ukraine

"Moreover, as one witness put it during our impeachment inquiry, the United States aids Ukraine and her people so that we can fight Russia over there and we don't have to fight Russia here."

Schiff did not elaborate on how providing lethal aid to Ukraine would prevent a Russian Red Dawn-style invasion of America, although we don't expect one soon.

Without our help, Ukraine would not have the tools to disable Russian armored vehicles.

Only Trump, not Obama, was willing to provide those weapons to Ukraine.

The question is whether Trump abused power by delaying aid to Ukraine appropriated by Congress in an effort to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky into announcing an investigation into Trump's domestic political rival.

Democrats pushing the idea that Trump's delay in sending aid endangered U.S. national security doesn't pass the laugh test.

Given the Obama legacy, Democrats presenting themselves as enduring agents of support for Ukraine and defenders of global security is plainly ridiculous.
