My only small criticism is that Daniel shouldn't give Obama all that much credit for not arming Ukraine (after engineering the coup). Quite simply, after the coup they needed to consolidate their gains and not alarm Russia any more than necessary. The arming was then left to the next administration.
Which again should make us stop referring to all these unrelenting warring developments as belonging to one administration or the other, clearly they're the deep state policy and that's all, as Vindman memorably said: “outside influencers promoting a false narrative of Ukraine inconsistent with the consensus views of the interagency.”
The interagency decides the administrations provide.
Great discusstion.
