Tyler Durden — ETF Daily News March 25, 2015<\/h1>\n

\"US<\/a>Yesterday, in a vote that largely slid under the radar, the House of Representatives passed a resolution urging Obama to send lethal aid to Ukraine, providing offensive, not just \u201cdefensive\u201d weapons to the Ukraine army –<\/span> the same insolvent, hyper-inflating Ukraine which, with a Caa3\/CC credit rating, last weekstarted preparations\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>to issue sovereign debt with a US guarantee, in essence making it a part of the United States (something the US previously did as a favor to Egypt before the Muslim Brotherhood puppet regime was swept from power by the local army).<\/span><\/p>\n

The resolution passed with broad bipartisan support by a count of 348 to 48.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to DW<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>,\u00a0 the measure urges Obama to provide Ukraine with \u201clethal defensive weapon systems\u201d that would better enable Ukraine to defend its territory from \u201cthe unprovoked and continuing aggression of the Russian Federation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPolicy like this should not be partisan,\u201d said House Democrat Eliot Engel, the lead sponsor of the resolution. \u201cThat is why we are rising today as Democrats and Republicans, really as Americans, to say enough is enough in Ukraine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Engel, a New York Democrat, has decided that he knows better than Europe what is the best option for Ukraine\u2019s people \u2013 a Europe, and especially Germany, which has repeatedly said it rejects a push to give western arms to the Ukraine army, and warned that Russia under President Vladimir Putin has become \u201ca clear threat to half century of American commitment to an investment in a Europe that is whole, free and at peace. A Europe where borders are not changed by force.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This war has left thousands of dead, tens of thousands wounded, a million displaced, and has begun to threaten the post-Cold War stability of Europe,\u201d Engel said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Odd, perhaps the US state department should have thought of that in a little over a year ago when Victoria Nuland was plotting how to most effectively put her puppet government in charge of Kiev and how to overthrow the lawfully elected president in a US-sponsored coup.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then again, one glance at the Rep. Engel\u2019s career donors provides some explanation for his tenacity to start another armed conflict and to escalate what he himself defines as a cold war into a warm one.<\/span><\/p>\n
