Obama: Ukraine is toast so why should we help?
Canada Free Press ^ | May 5 2014 | Dan Calabrese

Eastern Ukraine may fall to the Russians, but hey, at least the Ukrainians will be well fed as they’re waving the surrender flags. Barack Obama will see to that! What they really need is help to save the sovereignty of their nation, but they’re not going to get it from the United States, not when our president is determined to avoide offending Vladimir Putin at all costs. This must be what that vaunted flexibility was all about! But he does have something for them:

Ukraine is desperately seeking Western military help, but so far the U.S. has refused. Earlier this week in Manila, President Obama tetchily addressed his Ukraine policy, saying, “Well, what else should we be doing?” He offered another rhetorical question: “Do people actually think that somehow us sending some additional arms into Ukraine could potentially deter the Russian army?”

“Ukraine is desperately seeking Western military help, but so far the U.S. has refused.”

We must continue to refuse military help to Ukraine.

That's a relevant set of questions, so I'll offer an answer:

First, if you're not going to do anything, STFU.

Second, insist all NATO countries spend 4% of GDP on Defense or we are OUT in 10 years.

Third, pull US Troops out of Afghanistan, replace that worn out equipment and DARE NOT cut the US Military any further.

IS the author talking about these American military MREs now being sold online by the Western Ukrainian junta in Kiev?

Amen! Nothing that can happen in Ukraine will affect our national security. The country is a demographic mess even in good times, and I wish its people well. But Ukraine's quarrel with Russia is none of our business.

If people are looking to Obama to protect their sovereignty, well, don’t waste your time. He doesn’t even care about US sovereignty. In fact, he wants all borders gone to usher in the UN controlled world government. Ukraine has no good options. You get Obama/Merkel,and Islamists, or you get Putin.

Have a nice day!

No one could possibly be this stupid.

Ask the Finns what a few rifles can do against the Russian Army.

Funny how you’re not upset that your tax money is paying for these MREs that the Western Ukrainian junta are selling online.

What other American supplies do you want Obama and Kerry to send the Western Ukrainian “leadership” to steal and sell online?

We could send them weapons just to make Putin pay a price for what he is doing; but our gutted, homosexualized, feminized military is not ready for a real fight with a real army.
