\nAlexander Vindman, LTC USA (Ret)<\/p>\n
Vindman, the former Director for European Affairs for the United States National Security Council is back. He famously testified during then President Trump’s first impeachment hearing, and has subsequently filed suit against Donald Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani and others, alleging they mounted a coordinated campaign to intimidate and retaliate against him.<\/p>\n
He now brings his expert opinion on the Ukraine situation.<\/p>\n

Michael Isikoff<\/strong><\/p>\n The former U.S. Army officer who oversaw Ukraine policy in the Trump White House criticized the Biden administration for doing \u201ctoo little, too late\u201d to deter a Russian invasion of that country and predicted it will be \u201ccatastrophic\u201d for the United States and its European allies.<\/p>\n Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who last week sued four former Trump associates for conducting a campaign of \u201cintimidation and retaliation\u201d against him, also expressed fears that a Russian incursion into Ukraine could rapidly escalate into a military and cyber conflict far beyond that country\u2019s borders.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n But while top Democrats praised Vindman at the time for blowing the whistle on Trump\u2019s conduct, and reporting the phone call to a White House lawyer, the former Army officer didn\u2019t hesitate to call out Biden and the White House for failing to more forcefully respond to the Russian threat to Ukraine. \u201cThe senior policymakers didn’t seem to come around to this threat until really quite late,\u201d Vindman said. \u201cYou only start seeing [them] take things seriously in the November and December [2021] time frame.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
