Destroy it by pressuring its members to pay 2% GDP? Or what are you referencing?

And how does sending Javelins to Ukraine or blocking Nordstream 2 help Putin?

What did the USA have to do with blocking Nordstream 2? Germany stopped certification, no the USA.

Germany just stopped it after Russia attacked Ukraine. Trump held it off with sanctions during his Presidency.

Trump tried to prevent military aid to Ukraine; dunno how you give him credit for "sending Javelins..."

First off, I assume you're talking about the phone call that the Democrats impeached him for (leading to acquittal) to cover for the Burisma scandal. Accuse your enemy of what you're doing I suppose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXA--dj2-CY

Second, that aid was never held up and is separate from the Javelins that were sent anyway.

What other President sent Ukraine weapons (not blankets) before this fiasco?
