'Embarrassing': Impeachment witness shames Trump for learning about WWII 'the other day'
Raw StoryOne of the witnesses in Donald Trump's first impeachment shamed the former president's lack of knowledge about World War II. The ex-president and current Republican nominee mocked president Joe Biden for backing Ukraine, saying the embattled nation didn't stand a chance against Russia because the invaders were too militarily powerful. They fight, and it’s not pleasant.” Retired lieutenant colonel Alexander Vindman, a former high-ranking official with the National Security Council who testified as part of the Trump-Ukraine scandal, expressed shock at the former commander in chief's dim understanding of military history. It is embarrassing that a former president would say, even use that kind of language, that he just learned about World War II and his false impressions of how the records of the Soviet Union performed, really at the backbone was support from the West in massive casualties that they took.
