...and any other U.S. president would be funding Ukraine to hasten that fall.

Bush being the exception) has been astounding and we now have one of the world's stupidest, most corrupt persons in history driving this country into a ditch at a time when this country's major rivals are ripe for a kind of political upheaval Republicans would have salivated about 30 years ago.
