Obama: Ukraine is toast so why should we help?
Canada Free Press ^ | May 5 2014 | Dan Calabrese

Eastern Ukraine may fall to the Russians, but hey, at least the Ukrainians will be well fed as they’re waving the surrender flags. Barack Obama will see to that! What they really need is help to save the sovereignty of their nation, but they’re not going to get it from the United States, not when our president is determined to avoide offending Vladimir Putin at all costs. This must be what that vaunted flexibility was all about! But he does have something for them:

Ukraine is desperately seeking Western military help, but so far the U.S. has refused. Earlier this week in Manila, President Obama tetchily addressed his Ukraine policy, saying, “Well, what else should we be doing?” He offered another rhetorical question: “Do people actually think that somehow us sending some additional arms into Ukraine could potentially deter the Russian army?”

When the USSR collapsed and Ukraine be became independent, they should have read a history book and learned about the Russians desire to conquer their neighbors.

Ukraine failed to build up a military capable of fending off the Russians.

It was their failure and I will not spend my tax dollars or my son’s blood to pull them out of the grasp of the Russians.

Funny how you’re not upset that your tax money is paying for these MREs that the Western Ukrainian junta are selling online.

The link that you sent me shows British MRE's.

I see the same MRE’s on ebay being sold in this country.

The website from your link UNIMA sells US, French, British and Russian MRE’s.

The MRE’s that you show, you have no idea where they came from and there is no evidence that they came from our recent shipment to the Ukraine.

You sound like those liberals who defended the foreigner leaders and cronies who ripped off the American taxpayers by stealing and reselling our MRE’s and other food donations after Katrina and in Haiti and in Somalia, too. You can put your head in the sand if you want to, but keep your hands of my tax dollars.

I just gave you a thoughtful post and you give me nonsense.

You tell me there are MRE's showing up for sale from our recent aid to Ukraine.

I simply point out to you that there is no evidence that these MRE's are from the recent aid to Ukraine.

I never defended the theft of any MRE's.

Yet you give some nonsense that I did.

Ping me when you aren't regurgitating Putin propaganda.

Funny how your not upset that his magnificence Vova Putin is sending Chechen terrorists into his neighbors country to rape and pillage. You keep good company, FRiend.

Those MRE’s are also showing up on the battlefield. Surprised the Putinistas aren’t waving that bloody flag yet.

-----------------------------

So instead of Western aid the folks in E. Ukraine have been dreaming of the Chechen terrorist "tourists" that Vova Putin just sent on holiday there?

It was also so kind of Putin to lend them a few thousand unlawful combatants and agents who have bombed, kidnapped and murdered their neighbors.

Why would anybody ever want to lean Western when their friendly Russian neighbors bring such a fun party bag.

Didn’t we assure Ukraine of support and protection if they voluntarily disarmed?
