Ukraine army has little have no money. They have fewer supplies. Russia had infiltrated their government & military hierarchy during this 10 year planned invasion by Russia.
Ukraine is fighting The Russian military giant with guts and prayer begging help from their allies.
On September 18, 2014, during a joint meeting of both chambers of Congress, President Poroshenko received multiple standing ovations from lawmakers.
Poroshenko called for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukrainian territory, the closure of the Russian border to other troops and ammunition, and the release of Ukrainian “hostages.” He warned that Russian-backed proxy wars and extremist movements first seen in Crimea must be confined.
Poroshenko added, “If they are not stopped now, they will cross European borders and spread throughout the globe.” He said, “”Blankets and night-vision goggles are important, But one cannot win a war with blankets.”
Obama did condemn Russian aggression, first in Crimea and most recently in eastern Ukraine. But his administration will not respond to calls from Congress to send arms to bolster Ukraine’s armed forces saying “that would not alter the dynamics of power between Kiev and Moscow.”
Obama also told Poroshenko “that he is the right man for the job.” During a meeting in the Oval Office, Obama said “the mere image of him sitting side-by side with Poroshenko would “be worth at least a thousand words, both in English and in Russian.”
LISTEN UP OBAMA:
FDR said in The 1941 State of the Union:
“I also ask this Congress for authority and for funds sufficient to manufacture additional munitions and war supplies of many kinds, to be turned over to those nations which are now in actual war with aggressor nations.
Our most useful and immediate role is to act as an arsenal for them as well as for ourselves. They do not need man power, but they do need billions of dollars worth of the weapons of defense. The time is near when they will not be able to pay for them all in ready cash. We cannot, and we will not, tell them that they must surrender, merely because of present inability to pay for the weapons which we know they must have.
I do not recommend that we make them a loan of dollars with which to pay for these weapons—a loan to be repaid in dollars.
I recommend that we make it possible for those nations to continue to obtain war materials in the United States, fitting their orders into our own program. Nearly all their materiel would, if the time ever came, be useful for our own defense.”
Then they're stupid.
