Classic Obama dithering -- and a very clear example of how it costs lives and American prestige. As Ukraine's President Poroshenko said months ago when he addressed Congress: "Wars are not won with blankets." Russia has now demonstrated with the utmost clarity at least twice that any success on the ground Kiev attains (at the cost of many lives) will be countered and pushed back by fresh incursions of Russian armor. How in God's name are Kiev's brave soldiers to stop Russian armored assaults when, as this article states, their anti-armor missles "are out of commission." Here's a hint: They can't. See, e.g., what's happening now on the ground. The U.S. should have sent anti-tank, shoulder-fired Javelin missiles and up-to-date counter battery radar months and months ago. Let's just hope there is still a Ukrainian army left to arm by the time Professor Obama stops dithering.
