One other thing you might want to think about...if the US were sending weapons as in offensive weapons the Ukrainian military would have not had a problem against the separatists, even with Russia's help.
As i've said so many times before, Russia cannot allow for Ukraine to join NATO and have their bases that close.

'Start Killing Russians': Outrageous Outburst by Fox News Military Analyst
Well I wouldn't expect Russia's gov't owned propaganda machine to do do anything less as they took the man's words out of context.
A little about the source sputnik news...
Sputnik is an international multimedia news service launched on 10 November 2014 by Rossiya Segodnya, an agency wholly owned and operated by the Russian government, which was created by a Decree of the President of Russia on 9 December 2013.[1] Sputnik replaces the RIA Novosti news agency and the Voice of Russia international radio broadcaster.

Not really the truth bearing source.
What? Do you really think the people fighting for Ukraine would know how to use those weapons?
Wow, so after all you are now seriously denying that the US supplying Ukrainians with military weapons?
And you didn't "get me". I explained everything in the post above this one.
And yet you don't see through Russia's BS. It's the same story the US has been spouting for decades "We have to invade Iraq because WMDs", "We have to invade Afghanistan because there's terrorists who hate American and want to destroy it".

What are you talking about?
It's obvious that you still don't get it. Anytime the US got involved in a war was because not their safety was put at risk, but because they wanted to gain control over that country and oil. Do you remember all the excuses the US gave to justify their invasions? I mean, any logical person could see trough that BS.
The closest example of what's currently happening in the Ukraine, is the Cuban crisis. That was a justified move by the US and they acted extremely well. But then again, back then it was different people running the US...
If Russia allows for Ukraine to join NATO and have their bases that close to their borders, that would mean, in a potential war between them would give massive advantage to NATO. Therefore, this represents a direct threat to Russian safety.
So please tell me, where did you notice double standards?
It's because back then, they were weak, and they needed more time to organize their military and fix their economy
I don't remember, was it Medvedev or Putin ( can't remember correctly ), giving boldly statements about how you should not mess with the bear, etc.
Now, they are in the position to act that way.
Which is why my comments are true...the US is not sending offensive weapons to Ukraine.
And yet you don't see through Russia's BS. It's the same story the US has been spouting for decades "We have to invade Iraq because WMDs", "We have to invade Afghanistan because there's terrorists who hate American and want to destroy it".
"We have to Invade Ukraine because they want to join NATO and destroy us."
Probably the part where you said the U.S. needs to stay out of Ukraine, while in the same breath talking about how Russian can't/won't allow Ukraine to do something. How you can't see telling one country to butt out and not another country the same as being a double standard is, frankly, shocking.
Since President Putin assures us there are no Russians in Ukraine, looks like the joke is on General Scales.
