Obama On $1 Billion Loan To Ukraine

by JASmius

President Barack Obama says Russia's military invasion of Ukraine could end up driving countries away from Russia, instead of closer to it. Meanwhile, the U.S. pledged $1 billion in loan guarantees to Ukraine.




Well, I would suggest that Putin's tank armies are more than capable of driving said countries back towards Russia.  Sure seems to be working with Ukraine.

I could ask if this isn't a particularly opportune time to flush more Fed wastepaper down the foreign aid commode, but what would be the point?  O might as well just come out and call it American reparations for its shameful victory in the Cold War and send the bil straight to Vlad.  Unlike The One, he knows to make military spending a top priority.
