My Comment: It was U.S. Senator McCain who first talked about sending arms to Ukraine (above video) .... and now we have a senior Kerry aide who is talking about doing exactly the same thing. Talk about adding gas to the fire.

What arms, how would they get them there, who would train the Ukrainians to use them, how would the Ukrainians use them? The list is endless.
