...”Global welfare state”....

I think that’s what it’s going to come to though there is a push to stay out of Nato...Kiev Gov. is divided on how far to go with the EU...what they don’t get is the EU may not go as far as they hoped for with the violent nature of the people and the threat now for another Maidan.

That treaty did ‘not’ specifically state they would protect Ukraine...which is why Ukraine hesitated to sign onto it. But as usual Ukraine put itself in a corner where it had no choice...they signed with the full knowledge that did not include the “Promise” for defense if it came down to the wire where that would be needed. The wording is just vague enough to all ow a decline of assistance militarily.

I first need to see a couple hundred thousand Ukranians marching east before U.S troops are called.

I don’t see a national mobilization, don’t see rationing...thus they don’t see Americans. Oh yeah.....

didn’t I just read that the Ukranians sent 700 million bucks to Putin? Kerry’s money right?
