Tell us more about President Donald Trump being a Putin puppet or something:

The money is considered “non-lethal” aid but will be used for “additional training, equipment and advisory efforts”:
#BREAKING Just in: The Department of Defense announced today that they will provide $200 million to Ukraine in security cooperation funds for additional training, equipment and advisory efforts to build the defensive capacity of Ukraine’s forces.

When will Dems and the media accept that Trump’s actions are different than what Trump says?
The Pentagon just provided $200 MILLION worth of security assistance to Ukraine. It’s the latest example of the Trump administration’s tough actions against Russia. https://t.co/8ebWKzywi9

Yes, actions do speak louder than words but Trump won’t get credit for it:
That proverbial tree that falls in the woods will get more notice from the mainstream media than this news.

From the president himself:
I got severely criticized by the Fake News Media for being too nice to President Putin. In the Old Days they would call it Diplomacy. If I was loud & vicious, I would have been criticized for being too tough. Remember when they said I was too tough with Chairman Kim? Hypocrites!
