Unfortunately the choice is between our old gear and no gear. Ukraines defense establishment has been woefully underfunded for years.

That is because Obama is supplying ISIS with all the good stuff....No time for Ukraine.

Here’s a test of one piece of obsolete equipment that didn’t go quite well.

US reportedly supplying Ukraine military with obsolete equipment

Sorry, the best US stuff is earmarked for ISIS, Ukrainians aren't Muslim enough, and it unlikely they'll ever get off the plantation now.

Serfdom under Soros, it's the future.

Obsolete is relative. For example, most US pilots refused to fly in the odd aircraft, the Bell P-39 Airacobra, calling it a “flying coffin”.

So we gave them to the Soviet Union. Their pilots considered it the best aircraft ever, a real “can opener” of German tanks.

Ukrainian government forces battling Russia-supported rebels in the east of that country have called into question Washington's commitment to them

Well then, they're not as dumb as they look.

"Washington" has zero commitment to them, and that number ain't going up anytime soon.
