Wasn't it withholding defence funds based upon a "quid pro quo"? Something which was denied by Volodomyr Zalensky:
He said military aid to Ukraine was blocked before the phone call but said “our calls were not linked to Burisma or military aid” and said no conditions were attached to meeting Trump.
“I don’t want to interfere in U.S. elections,” Zelensky also said Thursday. He also said Ukraine was waiting for an official visit to the U.S.
I'm not sure how Mr. Zalensky feels about this past event, but I can tell you that he's pretty upset that Biden torpedoed the promised aid. Ukraine needs all the help it can get to create a No Fly Zone.
But Ukrainians have fought before without a lot of outside help. They are doing it again. Still, it would be nice if Ukraine were supplied with the necessary arms to defend the skies.
NATO doesn't need to do a lot of work. Just get the weapons to a place where Ukrainians can collect them. I would like to think that the technical know how to cloak these shipments exists. Especially after watching Russian radio commication being blocked by the Ukrainians using low tech methods.
I don't like the duopoly, but I really dislike when the duopoly tries to pretend they have the moral high ground.
Neither party does.
It's time for the US to get a new line up politically.
