When the Ukrainians put up a fight, Obama will be dragged kicking and screaming to provide aid. But not until then. If Ukraine's leaders behave as meekly as Edward Benes, Ukraine's fate will be like Czechoslovakia's before the Nazi juggernaut.

Send in the "advisers."

That's the ticket.

“If Ukraine’s leaders behave as meekly as Edward Benes, Ukraine’s fate will be like Czechoslovakia’s”

The “Leaders” (Svoboda/Right Sector) are screaming for blood, but the people they are telling to do the killing don’t want any part of it.

They are told that they are being sent to fight “Russian Infiltrators”, and are encountering old ladies and crowds of civilians instead, with a few armed militants thrown in.

As soon as the Right Sector grabbed power, anyone with any knowledge of the area knew the Donetsk Basin area was going to have a problem with it.

“Ukraine’s military has an urgent need for nonlethal military assistance like body armor, night-vision goggles, communications gear and aviation fuel”

Every day more and more Ukrainian military defect to the pro-Russian insurgents. So they will only say - “Thank you very much Uncle Sam”, coz all that stuff will eventually get in their hands.

What is non-lethal aid? More sling-shots?

I noticed the people defending their homeland were using slingshots and the Russkies automatic weapons.

The West does not have the will to actually act in Ukraine’s defense.

We should just send that aid to Russia and call it a day.

The Ukrainians started this mess. Let them clean it up. No US involvement. Period.

Non lethal military aid......does that mean we’ll send pea-shooters or bb guns? Not America’s finest hour. Yet if it were an African country being invaded you can bet we’d be sending military aid as we are currently doing.

Leave it up to Obama and he’ll send in 3,000,000 gay sex instructional videos, 30,000,000 condoms and 5 million gallons of lube.

General and Former Defense Official Urge Nonlethal Military Aid for Ukraine

As Zell Miller said, the dems would arm us with spitwads. So would we be sending them some of our used spitwads. perhaps from 0bama's "frillypants" brigades?

“NONLETHAL MILITARY” IS AN OXYMORON

Webster defines military as “pertaining to war’

War is lethal

someone doesn`t know English language word meanings

must be a KenyanAhol.

Give them advanced crowd dispersion equipment, (ultrasounds etc.) Russian tactic is as follows: move in 2-3 dozens of armed “pro-Russians”, surround them with a few hundred civilians, commie grandpas, drunk thugs etc. and wait... If Ukrainians open fire, there’s a pretext for a full scale invasion (to “protect civilians”) If they don’t, repeat it in another town. Once civilians are chased out non-leathally, full ahead, kill any armed “pro-Russian” fecker.

Obastard would rather fight the Russians by throwing pancakes at them.
