Merry Christmas 2017  from President Trump to President Putin!  The Ukraine gets a gift of $41 MILLION in defensive weapons.

Finally. To Russia …. with love  from …  James Bond?

Trump’s policy towards the Ukraine  is a complete change in policy  from Obama’s policy –  as Obama  would not help the Ukraine when it was annexed by Putin back in 2014.

From the Wall Street Journal,  On Monday the White House released a new national security strategy that named Russia as a “revisionist” power seeking to upend global order. On Wednesday President Trump followed up by confirming he’d approved the sale of lethal defensive weapons to Ukraine as it resists Vladimir Putin’s aggression.

Mr. Putin invaded and then illegally annexed Crimea in 2014, and Ukrainians have been fighting since to stop the march of Moscow-backed separatists in their south and east. They’ve had little material support from the West. That’s about to change now that the Trump Administration has approved a $41.5 million sale of weapons that include the Model 107A1 Sniper Systems, ammunition and parts.

Comment by Aptos Psychologist:  Actions speak louder than words.  Trump’s rhetoric of ‘get along’ with  Russia –   now has teeth with a bite.  Other  news:  Russia’s top prosecutor’s son is now on the “bad list” and cannot enter the USA or access his financial assets.
