So which is it Democrats? Obama states that the Ukraine is of no interest to us, yet McRHINO and his democrat besties want an enormous federal aid package sent to the Ukraine. So if the democrats are in such a rush to throw billions at Ukraine, but their President says we should let the Ukraine people decide, who eventually ends up with the billions? The people? The new Ukrainian government (which at this point is shaky at best)?

Looks like more shenanigans by politicians to try and attach riders onto something that is perceived as financial assistance when in fact they have ulterior motives which would benefit them. Sneaky bastards.

President Obama has told a Dutch newspaper that the United States does not see the ongoing crisis in Crimea and Ukraine as a “zero-sum game” between Washington and Moscow as pro-Russian forces reportedly overran a third Ukrainian military base in the Black Sea peninsula Monday.

In the interview, published in Monday’s edition of de Volkskrant, Obama said, “The United States does not view Europe as a battleground between East and West, nor do we see the situation in Ukraine as a zero-sum game. That’s the kind of thinking that should have ended with the Cold War.”

The president went on to say, “The Ukrainian people do not have to choose between East and West. On the contrary, it’s important that Ukraine have good relations with the United States, Russia, and Europe. As I’ve said, the future of Ukraine ought to be decided by the people of Ukraine.”

Zero-sum? Sounds to me like you don’t really care about the Ukraine so why this?

A Ukraine aid package sought by the Obama administration is running into heated objections from Senate Republicans ahead of a test vote late Monday, over concerns that the bill could “unnecessarily” jack up U.S. contributions to a major international lender.

Senate Democrats, and the Obama administration, are insisting that the Ukraine legislation include “reforms” for the International Monetary Fund. But House and Senate Republicans say they’re not needed, and worry the changes could end up costing U.S. taxpayers more money while undermining U.S. influence at that very institution.

“We are deeply concerned that the Ukraine aid legislation reported by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee contains ‘reform’ provisions that would unnecessarily double the United States contribution to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), part of the largest proportional increase ever, yet ultimately undermine our influence in that body in a manner that provides no actual relief to Ukraine,” Cruz and other GOP senators wrote to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev

There it is.
