We unilaterally disarmed?

You think that the Ukraine Army can’t use our weapons?

“You think that the Ukraine Army can’t use our weapons?”

They can certainly try...but they’re not as easy as you may think. And the Russians have pretty good ones at their disposal, and MUCH BETTER TRAINED troops.

So yea - Ukraine can give it their best, lose, and then have to deal with not only defeat, but an angry victor.

But what the hell, the president is having domestic trouble here and elections are just around the corner.

Ukrainian Army left their own tanks, APCs and multiple rocket launchers to Novorussian rebels. Sending more arms would please rebels for sure.

We threw billions at training the Iraqis and the Afghanis for over a decade for no good results.

This oped's shrill nature tells me the neocons already know Putin won. All those months we thought the Kiev govt was winning was just a rope-a-dope allowing the Kiev forces to use up resources and push closer to the Russian border allowing a pincer encirclement and plausible Russian deniability.
