Arming Ukraine ‘An Option’, says Obama

Imagine my surprise.

President Obama left open the option of arming Ukraine in its war against Russian-backed separatist rebels should diplomatic efforts falter, reports FT.

“It is true that if in fact that diplomacy fails, what I’ve asked my team to do is to look at all options, what other means can we put in place to change Mr Putin’s calculus, and the possibility of lethal defensive weapons is one of those options that is being examined,” Obama said.

But I have not made a decision about that yet" he continued.

  1. Oh come on, what could possibly go wrong?

    I love how he uses the word 'we', as if everyone in America is behind him, and we are all part of the government. I try to always say the 'US Government is going to do such and such' instead of 'we are going to do such and such'. I love Rothbard here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqoBZLSm1WA

  2. The folks in Washington, D.C. are clearly insane. Who on earth thinks it's appropriate to interefere in a country that borders on Russia?

    Would the U.S. be OK if the Russians or Chinese armed certain groups in Mexico or Canada?
