Russia invaded Ukraine which is not part of the Eurpean Union. Russia is as much a part of "Europe" as we know it as Ukraine is. And Obama's policies did nothing to prevent that invasion nor to reverse it and return the Crimea back to Ukraine. And the sanctions, which didn't include military aid nor lethal weapons that Ukraine needed to defend itself and take back its lost territory, didn't "cripple" Russia nor do anything to change what Russia had done.

And this impeachment is not about that. It's articles are not about that. It is about the 2020 election and hurting Trump's chances, pure and simple.
