Obama didn't give any weapons to Ukraine and he gave very little of anything else. No offense, but your Ukrainian model friend sounds brainwashed.

It's hard to really know what we're sending them... officially or behind the scenes or through third parties. My friend did say she was in the eastern part of the country one time when the Russians were supposedly shelling a town... but everyone there could see that the shells were coming from the west and not from Russia to the east.

Yeah, that’s the ticket . . . your friend could see the Ukrainian markings on the shells, I suppose?

The corrupt failed state of Ukraine is a major hub for black market weapons and has been since the fall of the Soviet Union.

Most of military gear the US sends to Ukraine gets captured or ‘disappears’ and then sold on the black market.
