mistake. in 2008 a ukrainian born tax investing alleged massive corruption by the russian government, he was thrown in jail while bush was president and died in prison not long after obama s infamous russian reset began. so willing to work with putin often despite nato s fears. remember the 2012 obama hot mic moment with putin s predecessor. i am more flexible. obama s flexibility was indeed transmitted to vladimir and two years later putin ordered the annexation of crimea and started a civil war in eastern ukraine, providing arms to separatists who in july 2014 used a russian missile system to shoot down malaysian airlines
