[Tailgunner Joe]

[Timber Rattler]

Yeah, this will end well.

[CivilWarBrewing]

Training but no weapons? I guess Barry gave it all to ISIS.

[Gay State Conservative]

Good start...I guess.The West should be giving them defensive weapons and if Vlad wants to start WW III because he was prevented from annexing a piece of sovereign territory of a neighbor...so be it.

Somehow I suspect that he wouldn't.

[American in Israel]

Somehow I suspect that he would.

Good, there is no reason not to train the soldiers of our friend, and a country that borders on NATO and which is being invaded by Russia, and which is a part of Russia’s greater goal of military conquest and returning to threatening the world.

[Mi-kha-el]

Care to expand?

[Gay State Conservative]

Somehow I suspect that he would.

Really? What's the worst case scenario for him and his punk allies if he refrains from doing so? They're driven from power/influence...and maybe even into exile...with stashes in Bahamian banks amounting to hundreds of millions (of US dollars and Swiss Francs,not rubles).

OTOH,if he does go to war......

[MeganC]

I can see the training now:

“There, Ivan! THAT’S how you shoot a Russian!”

[duckln]

Since when has the Ukrainian Nazi junta become our friends, what have they done for us?

How in the hell can a country of only 140 million threaten the world?

You're so filled with McCainista hatred, you're not rational.

[ansel12]

You are so devoted to Russia’s military goals that you are truly insane.

[SunkenCiv]

/bingo

[McGruff]

Too bad we couldn’t send John McCain over there. He'd kill some Russians.

[Grimmy]

IF the current Russia had a military worth a damn, and even a 10th of the force it claims on paper, that might be a concern.

The current Russia is not the USSR of the cold war, nor was the USSR of the cold war nearly as militarily capable as the panty wetting wonks liked to pretend it was as they cowered under their office desks.

[Gay State Conservative]

You are so devoted to Russia’s military goals that you are truly insane.

No,it's not insanity...at least not the classic kind.It's love.You've gotta admit that some guys (and gals) can get a tingle up their leg looking at a photo of a shirtless Vlad.

[Psalm 73]

"U.S. recently delivered the first batch of 10 out of a total of 230 Humvees..."

They beg for heavy weapons and we send them jeeps.
Meanwhile, ISIS is using US heavy weaponry abandoned by US-equipped Iraqi units.

[ansel12]

What about Ted Cruz?

Why do you ignore Ted Cruz’s and Sarah Palin’s Reaganesque stance against Russia and Putin?

[Vaden]

I’m with you... I don’t get the love some conservatives feel toward Mother Russia, a nation that for a generation held the stated goal of the destruction of the U.S. and worldwide communist totalitarian domination.

Russia’s hard to figure out. Socially conservative, yet has a decidedly totalitarian bent. Not to mention expansionist. Kissinger once said that Russia “cannot exist in stasis, it’s always either expanding or contracting.” Kissinger’s wise shrewdness would be a welcome change compared to today’s goofs in our gov’t today.

I would argue that “McCain hatred” makes people try to turn Ukraine threads into McCain threads. But for the FRussians, who do it because they support Russian foreign policy.
