2). They aren't going to Continue the "position" because they feel other Officials who's portfolios already include Ukraine can handle the duties going forward. Kind of goes with Trump's "shoring up" strategy, Why pay another person to do what these other officials already have the capacity to do.
3). This is an exaggerated statement on your part. When U.S. troops vacated their bases, it is reported that they were destroying vehicles and other "unidentified equipment", ANYTHING remotely "sensitive" was completely destroyed per protocol, and very few items were left over. The base itself not being destroyed is what has come under "scrutiny". It gives the very few ISIS fighters left a possible fortification, but I didn't see anything about Russians doing what you said (source?), but I wouldn't doubt that they would.
4). The Javelin missiles and monetary aid were delayed, as said before, because of the corruption of Ukraine and the Uncertainty of the newly elected President. They wanted to make sure that 1). The corruption was to a minimum and to make sure that the new president wasn't corrupt 2). Make sure that Ukraine wouldn't "stiff us" after the aid was sent. Nothing to do with "upsetting Russia" as you state.
5). "Totally Debunked"?? We will see.
6). Old news (almost a year old), not "just revealed". And Trump ultimately did condemn them for that. As did many other officials.
7). Your statement on this one is Purely Opinion (Source?). Now that they have received the "lethal aid" you speak of, does this opinion-statement even hold water anymore?
