According to the news, a decision will be made this weekend to send more arms to the Ukraine which will, of course, escalate the tension between Russia and the U. S.
Our record on arming our "friends" has not been good. We often end up defending ourselves from these weapons when the whole plan goes awry and our "nonfriends" gain control of these weapons.
I am really tired of this. We cannot be the world's policemen. Our blood and treasure has so often been spent in vain.

They may have to step to the end of the line. Syria and ISIS are in front of them.

I can't understand why more people on this forum aren't interested in this. Once we're in this mess, it will be hard to get out. Time to speak out is now.
