Ron Johnson and others of having &#8220;blood on their hands&#8221; as Ukraine withstands a withering assault from Russian troops.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with the Journal Sentinel, Vindman included Johnson on a list with former President Donald Trump, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Fox News host Tucker Carlson, claiming they undermined U.S. national security.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Civilians are dying, Ukrainians are providing a formidable defense, defending democracy for Americans as well as for themselves and their homes. And Ron Johnson is trying to distract and obfuscate,&#8221; Vindman said.<\/p>\n<p>Vindman was responding to comments made Feb. 27 by Johnson on Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>Vindman had been with Johnson on a key trip to Ukraine in May 2019, in which the senator sought to assure the newly elected government of congressional support.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, Vindman also blamed Johnson and others for ending his military career.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/alexander-vindman-says-ron-johnson-110103452.html\">Yahoo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Apparently Alex failed to notice the change in administration.\u00a0Putin certainly did, and took full advantage.
