U.S. Congress urges Obama to drag the United States into another foreign conflict (Ukraine)
There's always money for this kind of stuff.....
Washington — American lawmakers voted overwhelmingly Monday to urge President Obama to provide Ukraine with lethal weapons to defend itself against Russian "aggression."
The US House of Representatives approved the resolution in a broadly bipartisan 348-48 vote, heaping further pressure on the Obama administration to end its delays in providing weapons and other heavy military equipment to Kiev forces.
Congress has spoken with a largely united voice on the issue — several lawmakers have spoken out about directly arming Ukraine forces — but there are splits in the Obama administration.
Following reported violations of a ceasefires between Ukraine's government forces and pro-Russian separatist rebels, the White House this month announced it will deliver a $75-million package of non-lethal defensive equipment to the Ukrainians.
