    After forging peace with Iran, Obama's second & far less recognized foreign policy accomplishment was refusing to turn Ukraine into Syria

        Most of the big media outlets, right wingers on Capitol Hill, much of the military establishment, pressured Obama to flood Ukraine w/weapons

        Obama steadfastly refused to provide lethal aid to Ukraine, knowing it would lead to endless escalation and bloodshed.

        Given that many of Hillary's top advisers opposed Obama on Ukraine, & given current anti/Russia politics, why isn't this more of a topic?

        Hillary has largely remained mum on the subject, refusing to endorse Obama's position explicitly.

        Also worth noting all of this follows the long-running campaign by weapons makers to coerce NATO countries to increase military budgets.

        ...@lhfang Also noteworthy was his refusal to outright bomb Syria - and kick it into Congress - after the questionable chemical strikes.

        @Kanterography @lhfang Yes to the weapons being funneled. There was also lots of pressure to step up overt escalation.

      @lhfang @matthewstoller instigating a coup in Ukraine, supporting neo-Nazis, and provoking a nuclear power is not my kind of accomplishment.
