Puppet President: Trump to arm Ukraine with lethal weapons as push for major war increases

It doesn't look like there is any let up to Washington aggression around the world, and apparently the US is also trying to restart the war in Syria as well. And most people in the West are asleep blissfully unaware of what's going on, but I argue with people in the Guardian's CiF who tell me, 'Putin is a bully who must be taught a lesson', but then I ask them is it worth everyone they know and love, and the town they love, and their favourite street, and their favourite pub, and the country they love, all getting blown off the face of the planet for?

Editor’s note: You won’t see Infowars, Alex Jones or much of the other ‘alternative’ media report on the Trump administration arming countries like Ukraine and Saudi Arabia with billions of dollars of lethal weapons. So much for peace and America first. All rhetoric that the gullible sheep lap up.

Russia has reacted fiercely to the end of week breaking news that President Trump plans to approve the legal sale of US antitank missiles and possibly other advanced systems to the Ukrainian government in a move that could change the battlefield calculus of the war between Ukrainian and Russian-aligned forces in the Donbass region along the Russian border.

ABC News described the “total defense package of $47 million includes the sale of 210 anti-tank missiles and 35 launchers” which will be sure to harm Trump’s longtime stated goal of improving relations with Moscow.

Though Kiev has long had limited access to US lethal arms through private contracts with American and international arms producers, this represents a significant escalation involving the likelihood that advanced US systems would be used directly on Russian-aligned militias in the eastern Donbass region and potentially Russian forces along the border. Up until now, the White House has been reluctant to escalate the war so openly, as it did when it supplied anti-Assad fighters in Syria with sophisticated TOW anti-tank missiles.

While the US State Department claims the move is “defensive” in nature, Russian deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov charged the US with deliberately “crossing the line” and pushing the Ukrainian authorities “towards new bloodshed,” adding that “American weapons can lead to new victims”.

“Kiev revanchists are shooting at Donbass every day, they don’t want to conduct peace negotiations and dream of doing away with the disobedient population. And the United States has decided to give them weapons to do that,” Ryabkov said. He further slammed the US as an “accomplice in igniting a war” whose political leadership is “blinded by Russophobia and eagerly applaud the Ukrainian nationalist punitive battalions.”
