Obama did pivot attention and budget to Asia, and I guess he grumbled about Ukraine back then, but to now retroactively place him and Trump on the same page and Biden as the outlier... come on, that's just rewriting history, NY times. Obama also seems horribly naive, just as Trump now with regards to Russia/Putin, and their quest for power. As we Europeans were back then.. but not anymore...I hope.
