Obama was "soft" on Russia

Obama blasted for ‘self-serving’ ‘revisionist’ Russia comments during conference on disinformation

Former President Obama was called out on Twitter Thursday for presenting what some called a “revisionist history” about his record with Russia.

The former president was participating in the “Disinformation and the Erosion of Democracy” conference at the University of Chicago, where he told the audience and The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, that he had been encouraged by the global response to aid Ukraine after Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded the country in February. He also remarked that when he was president, he recalled having to “drag” U.S. allies to take action against Russia.

Even former Obama White House officials agree his administration was soft on Russia.

Obama’s former Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, admitted this week on CNN that his presidency should’ve been tougher on Russia in 2014 when they invaded and annexed Crimea.
