“I don’t see a problem with loading a Ukrainian ship docked in Libya with arms from Ghadaffi’s armories instead of smuggling them into Syria.”
The problem doesn’t seem to be arms, but the fact that only the Right-Sector crazies are willing to use them. And that could be much worse than doing nothing at all. (Which likely means Obama will do exactly that).
Ukraine seems to be a country of torn identities. The fact that many in the military in Crimea took the Russian offer to joining RF forces says a lot.
If you believe that many in Crimea took the Russian offer to join their army, the Russian disinformation officers did a good job. That was not the case. The Ukrainian ships are being returned. Did you read about the Ukrainian naval officer that was murdered in his barracks?
