Former Republican presidential nominee Bob Dole said Monday that the U.S. should send weapons, including tanks, to Ukraine to help it resist Russia's moves on its territory and to send Russian President Vladimir Putin a strong message.
The 90-year-old Republican Party icon and former U.S. Senate majority leader said Putin "has sort of sized up" Democratic President Barack Obama and "concluded that he's not a strong leader."
Dole's comments came as Vice President Joe Biden began a high-profile visit to Ukraine and only days after an announcement in Geneva that talks between Ukraine, Russia, the United States and the European Union produced an agreement to take tentative steps toward calming a volatile situation in eastern Ukraine. Last month, Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula, which had been Ukrainian territory.
Dole made his remarks during a reception at the local GOP headquarters in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park, the first of 10 homecoming receptions in his native state over three days. He discussed Ukraine at the prompting of Kansas Republican Gov. Sam Brownback, himself a former U.S. senator.

He would.
Added stupid to stiff, I see.
Hurry up and DIE..?
I say we should send him to shady acres retirement home...
Senility talking.
I’m amazed dorko-Dole’s single brain cell still operates.
He should be content that he’s in that set of individuals who’ve failed absolutely in everything they’ve done.
And no, being a member of the senate, or VP is not a success at anything other than demonstrating that politics provides a haven for the untalented and ugly.
Of course, I do respect his WW-II service...but that’s all I respect.
I mean really. We just sent them Biden. What more could they need?
He’s still alive ?
Bob Dole’s remarks just might get Obama off his backside. One Red Ryder BB gun could be the ticket if not too provocative.
My exact thought...
> Senility talking.
Sounds like McCain.
Hmm. Don't give them any ideas. Right now, they're pushing for Jeb Bush. But if Jeb falls short, maybe Rove will step in and propose a Dole/McCain or McCain/Dole ticket.
When did Dole become a Republican icon?
Eating viagra and standing tall.

Thats what I call doubling down on stupid
Maybe Dole should just send Viagra, then the morons could just measure up erections and get it all over with. Also sounds like Dole has had an event lasting more than four hours which has starved his brain for oxygen.
Dole is brain dead!
NO BLOOD FOR VODKA.
Let him send over all that Cialis he gets for free as spokesman to stiffen up the Ukrainian resistance.
That’s the Viagra talking.
