On June 20, Russian President Vladimir Putin blamed the West and particularly the United States for the crisis in Ukraine and said the West should put pressure on Kyiv to help resolve it.

McCain was involved with the Clinton Benghazi War
and initiated the IRS attacks on the TEA Party.

6400 dead is a minimal figure...
And why is it always the USA that must supply weapons? The NATO nations have long used the Carl Gustav. One of the most effective antitank weapons ever made. In fact, during the Falklands Island War a Brit took out and Argentine Corvette with one round. Ship limped back to port on 50% power. Spent a week or more being repaired.
Point is, if Europe was interested in helping Ukraine in a meaningful way, they would have stepped up long before now.

Any arms we provide the Ukraine will eventually end up in the hands of the Russians. Haven’t we learned that lesson in Iraq?
To: Timber Rattler
No. Let Europe do it.I seriously wonder if Poland, Hungary, and Germany want the Oligarchs of Kiev to have an arsenal of US weapons. What's to stop those weapons from ending up under control of Nazis or mercenaries sympathetic to Islam extremists?

Who is America’s greater enemy?
Vladimer Putin or Barack Obama?
Barack Obama does more harm to America than Putin can dream about

Well, if McCain is involved in crafting something like this it is fairly certain that it will be constructed to guarantee that Islamists wind up with a good part of the weapons.
Just like every other time Senator McCain is invoved.

uhhhh...what I just said is that Germany, Poland, and Hungary should stand up for Europe. I also said the Oligarchs of Kiev can't be trusted with US weaponry (any more than the Iraqis could, I'll add that now.)
I suspect if US politicians turn to protecting and defending the US, Ukraine's neighbors will do just fine figuring things out.

I am for arming any Ukrainian who has the will to kill your murderous leftist thug friends, the Russian invaders and their traitorous allies.

Senator Cruz is correct, we do need to help supply Ukraine weapons, in their defense against Russia's invading right up to NATO borders as Putin threatens us all.
When it comes to Russia and Ukraine, the path we're on doesn't make any sense, Cruz, R-Texas, told ABCs This Week while at the Munich Security Conference. We need to be providing defensive arms to the people of Ukraine.

Before getting weapons I believe the Ukrainians should submit background checks and undergo mental health screening. Any veterans among them should be disqualified from owning firearms as should their family members

uhhhh...what I just said is that Germany, Poland, and Hungary should stand up for Europe. They do, we are all united in our NATO defenses.
German tanks roll back into Poland Bojan Pancevski Swietoszow, Poland Published: 14 June 2015
"Last week Nato used the base for the first big deployment of a new special force to defend eastern Europe from an increasingly expansionist Russia. American Black Hawk helicopters thundered in the skies as German tanks rolled from across the nearby border, along with troops and hardware from seven other nations that make up Natos Spearhead Force, which was set up last year in response to Russias intervention in Ukraine."

What I’m saying is they should set up their defenses without US involvement AT ALL. We need those troops on our southern border and anywhere else invaders enter the US.

Cruz is wrong again. NATO is worthless, and Ukraine is Europe’s problem, not ours. We already have our hands full with ISIS, the Iranians, and the Red Chinese.
