Ukraine is a failed state. It had 25 years to turn itself into a real nation, but seems its elites were more interested in looting the country. And Obama and his team helped push it over the edge.

Your opinion is jaded. Ukraine has suffered 25 years of Russia meddling and interference, and little Western support. I say this as someone who last year was 25 yards from a pro-Ukrainian Russian MP gunned down in Kiev.

Ukraine has its problems, but is not close to a failed state. I say that as someone who worked 6 years with the Government of Afghanistan.

Get your facts straight. I’m assuming you’re not a Russian troll.

There is a strategic reason Trump is providing this aid. It is a stick, an early confirmation of what Trump said, “I'll be the worst enemy he's ever had – the worst he's ever had." Providing significant lethal aid will move into that category.

Exactly, although it was never really a state to begin with.

And, it’s not Ukraine, it’s The Ukraine.
