The US House of Representatives has overwhelmingly approved a resolution urging president Barack Obama to send weapons to Ukraine, to bolster Kyiv’s fight against separatist rebels in the country’s east.
The resolution was approved by 348 votes to 48.
The vote ups the pressure on Obama, who has been facing criticism for being slow to take action.

The possible results are uncountable, and none of them are good.
A poor idea.
“The government in Kiev is based on a coup that only happened in that city. The eastern regions of Ukraine want nothing to do with it.”
Those are more lies from a pro-Russian enemy propagandist.
1. “The government in Kiev” is the same government lawfully elected by the citizen voters of the Ukraine before President Yanukovych resigned his office and fled to the invading enemy state of Russia.
2. No “coup” took place, because President Yanukovych resigned the office as he had done so once before. Although Yanukovych retroactively denied resigning after he met with his Russian intelligence puppetmasters to negotiate the terms of his asylum in Russia, his denials are of no effect due to his failure to sue for relief in the Ukrainian Constitutional Court. Consequently, his resignation was unconstitutional and his replacement was constitutional. You have previously been quoted the articles in both Ukrainian constitutions which authorize the actions of the lawfully elected Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament) to lawfully elect someone to the office abandoned by Yanukovych.
Since you choose to disregard and deny the evidence to repeat obvious Russian false propaganda and lies having no basis in reality, you have effectively served as an enemy Russian propagandist supporting the criminal acts of Putin’s criminal Russian regime.
“These weapons, if the US is stupid enough to send them, have other possible bad outcomes. They could end up with the Russians. Those darn Kievian ultra-nationists could use them in other European countries to help like-minded residents in Germany, Hungary, Poland, etc. They could end up with paid militias with no national loyalties who then use them to fight other wars for a price.”
Those are the words of an enemy propagandist attempting to divide the NATO allies with the tactics of a concern troll urging the allies not to resist the Russian aggressions in order to save their own hides.
Ted Cruz is correct, supply weapons to Ukraine.
The Obama people here are wrong, Russia is on the move and is invading right up to NATO’s borders, we don’t need to throw flowers in their path.
Oh shaddup. Thank you for getting on your high horse.
Sending weapons to other countries has been a disaster. The fact you cannot see that puts you on board with that bunch of dummies in Congress.
“Sending weapons to other countries has been a disaster. The fact you cannot see that puts you on board with that bunch of dummies in Congress.”
Sending weapons to Britain, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, etc. in World War Two was such a bad idea...not.
Not sending heavy weapons to South Korea in 1947—1949 was such a good idea...not.
Interesting to note you have expressed no objections to Russia’s sending weapons and Russian armed forces to conquer the territories of the Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and so forth. Pro-Russian propagandists and concern trolls tend to do that you know.
That’s true. Of course the fact that the House wants to give arms to Ukraine might argue for voting to confirm the memorandum.
