Obama To Provide More Non-Lethal Aid To Ukraine Such As Helmets And Sleeping Bags
Moments ago, in a show of continued solidarity with the people of (West) Ukraine, US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced the latest batch of "non-lethal" aid to Ukraine. Among the items that would be shipped are:
- Sleeping mats;
- Water purification systems;
- Medial supplies; and of course
- Helmets
What, no healthcare plans? Also, one wonders: is the procurement price billed to US taxpayers for every helmet shipped to Ukraine above $5,000 or above $10,000?
Hagel added that while US actions are "provocative" and "heighten tensions", the US supply of equipment to non-NATO member Ukraine is not meant to "provoke or threaten Russia" and will review providing Ukraine with more support, also saying that the US is offering "planners" to help NATO update plans. The same NATO which as we reported yesterday, is preparing to expand its air and water presence around Russia... also obviously in a way that is not meant to threaten provoke Russia.
And while the US is providing helmets and sleeping bags, Canada, which has a substantial Ukraine population, is also jumping in, this time by providing 6 F-18 Hornet fighter jets to the NATO "reassurance mission" in Poland:
BREAKING:Canada to contribute 6 CF 18s to NATO reassurance mission, they will be based in Poland + 20 officers to Nato Supreme Command (CBC)
— Just Hovens Greve (@JustHovensGreve) April 17, 2014
Or this:
This delivery of lethal "reassurance" support to a country in immediate proximity to Russia is surely also meant to neither threaten nor provoke Russia. That said, any response by Russia to this clear NATO escalation will promptly be branded as both threatening and provoactive. Stay tuned.

Beats providing them with weaponry which will more or less inch us closer to world war 3. Given the fact that a reasonable portion of normal ukrainains have turned on the new government, and many including military are openly defecting - I'd say another job well done by the satanic mongoloids aka the hidden hand guiding the west's journey into the abyss.
The Russian doctor says: "gentlemen, we take half a heart from a man, put it in another's chest and in 2 weeks he is looking for work".
The United States doctor laughs: "You all are behind us. Five years ago, we took a man with no brains, no heart and no balls and made him President. Now, the whole country is looking for work!"
Kerry and Nuland to announce another $5 billion spent on the sleeping mats in 3… 2… 1… ;-)

Well, seems i have to check my emergency equipment over the easter weekend. And to start buying some new stuff. This looks like it´s getting serious now.
Wife just saw 7 c-130s flying low in our neck of the woods. Probably routine training.

I'll bet it's cold outside and they want to sleep in
give 'em a pallet that's so nice and thin.
is he sending his faggot bike helments...cause that would definetly put fear in the russians heart...
Dont be confuse by the the klaedescope of mis-information, oblunder doesnt care, in fact he may even be delighted by the carnage of his foriegn policy. He is too business persecuting domestic terrorists and extorting the middle class.
The non lethal aid is probably from the aid returned from Detroit seeing as winter is over now.
Long live the Emperor!
No condoms for the Ukraine army? How they going to "deploy" safely without condoms?
"Only sailors use condoms, baby."
"Not in the 90's, Austin"
"Well they should, those filthy beggars...they go from port to port."
No but they will finance abortions
Cuba is running out of condoms. And running out of BEER. BEER fur chis' sakes.

The (counter)revolution will soon be televised live from Havana. People will put up with a lot of socialist bull but when the alcohol stops flowing there will be blood. Sounds like a good trade to me. The Russian get Ukraine, USSA gets Cuba. Hotter babes and nicer beaches in Cuba anyway. Everybody wins.
Good to see you HH. Hope all is well.
let see if Lavrov buys it ...
today there is a tete a tete meeting between Kerry and Lavrov ... will know soon what the decision will be...
Time is on Russia's side. the Kiev regime has no staying power, and west cannot prop them up forever as the Ukranian people and military continue to abandon the sinking ship...
Sleeping MATS... in SUMMER... for SOLDIERS... WHY NOT MOM JEANS???
Good to see you back HH.
The Ukrainian military is in really poor shape. There is a significant shortage of equipment, training, and morale.
Once they have the logistics "pipeline established and runnign then it will be no problem to quietly introduce other items into the pipeline. Like M113s, ammo, small arms, RPGs etc.
Of course when Putin objects this will be portrayed as a "dangerous escalation" on the part of Russia and result in a claim that the pipeline needs to be expanded to include higher grades of warfighting material and weaponry.
On the Canadian deployment to Poland.
The present Canadian PM represents to tar sands oligarchs and has been working hard to expand the market for tar sands production.
The EU has been highly resistant to buying tar sands oil as there this energy source generates much higher CO2 emissions than other fossil fuels.
By helping stoke the conflict Canada seeks to help drive a wedge between the EU and its current energy supplier. This creates a market opening for Cdn product.
Actually, if our gov was smart, we would send thousands of gun free zone as well as tank free zone signs and ensure they are plastered all over the country but especially near the borders.
These would effectively prevent any potential military escalation with nearly 100% certainty.
I'm not buying it. The outside of the shipping container may say "sleeping bags and water purification", but the inside will likely have something different.
"I'm not buying it. The outside of the shipping container may say "sleeping bags and water purification", but the inside will likely have something different."
Just like everything Obama is involved with.
If it's good enough for al quaeda, it's good enough for an irregular army of neo nazis.
Inside the sleeping bags they will find assault rifles, anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles along with land mines, mortars and poison-gas grenades. All for non-lethal uses of course. For Obama's proxy war.
With Bush & Cheney... I agree with you.
With Obama & Biden... they are sending sleeping bags and those manjamas used to sell Obamacare.
Speaking of medical advances - I recently read a remarkable story about a gynecologist who quit and became an auto mechanic. He specializes in rebuilding engines through the the exhaust system.

"Non-Lethal Aid"
A new Oxymoron for my list
I heard he was giving them cell phones and health care plans.
cnn said "bring a better life to ukranians with the chance of economic prosperity". i was walking in a medical office building and that is what i heard in the lobby...
i will say no more...
"cnn said "bring a better life to ukranians with the chance of economic prosperity"." Ukraine has a population of 45,553,000 according to Wackypedia. US has "spent $5billion" on the Ukraine so far according to Nuland. $1billion is "Ah! $1 Billion... one-thousand million is a billion." according to i69tour.org. That makes 5000 million / 45.5 million = ~$109 million per ukranian.
It seems to me that they may not be bringing "the chance of economic prosperity" in the most efficient way. So I take it that means that the US govt has skimmed $5billion from various peoples around the world and "spent it on Ukraine"? Vive la democracy!
US has not given them shit!
x million / y million = x / y
Cost per Ukrainian would be $109 and change.
Healthcare plans? Did you miss the part about "non-lethal?"
Is Barney Frank going to be doling them out?
That will show Putin who is boss... unfortunateky, the Merikans will be charged $3,000 per helmet.
Pillows? How about nightlights....or a tuck in service you cheap bastards.
I suspect what they really need is tougher regulations to help reduce income inequality.
Asshats, douchenozzles, etc.
don't forget all than natural gas they were promising the EU
LOL
that is what the Ukrainians will want come October. some fuel to keep warm. They sould ask for more money in 1$ bills. At least they will have something to burn.
Can we now get this cunt and his minions in both the rep and dem parties out of office? Now? Pitchforks and torches in DC....if 5 million showed up, things would change.
Once the dollar loses reserve currency, DC will implode.

They are aggressively working on that
Any day now, brothers, any day
the clouds will part and the good lord will say-
"GOLD BITCHEZ"
right.
should have put a sarc tag on that one.
Even the dollar collapsing won't change who is in power, it will just force the shell game out into the open. The real game is oil. Has been for generations. As long as TPTB can idle a police cruiser outside your house or fly a jet over your head they will be TPTB.
TBTB were the TBTB before cars and planes. You are giving oil way too much credit.
Mary Antoinette had a nice ride in her horse and buggy.
The Rothschilds were carving out their slice long before the petro dollar.
I could go on...and on...
True, there has always been a ruling class, but the ability to reach out and touch anyone at anytime is a rather new development. Cheap oil makes that possible. It makes world hegemony possible. Hello, Zbigniew.
You can't give oil too much credit. 7 beeellion people can't be wrong.
True to you as well.
I think Oil is the current tool of choice. Get rid of oil and there will be something else used to control the masses.....enter the free shit army, for example.
Elon Musk makes the world run of flatulants...and the TBTB will still be there.
You could run an aircraft carrier on Henry Kissinger's ass gas.
But that shitbag is an outlier.
seriously, though, if you can run a jet on farts I'll eat my shorts.
Jets...one session in congress could fuel a year of global aviation traffic.
I think we are more or less on the same page here.
Have a great long weekend, Amigo.
Likewise, my full figured friend.
They have some idle jets sitting in Diago Garcia airstrip.
The revolution will not be televised.

He forgot to send them PopTarts that have been bitten to make them look like guns.
That would scare the shit out of the Ruskies.
Our beloved Paper Tiger President!
hey now! if one were to procure such supplies in the US they would be put on a terrorist watch list. what gives?
helmets? like the one he wears during his teleprompter sessions?
imagine an army of ukrainian protesters in mom jeans, fanny packs, and velcro sneakers with designer helmets.
He should send some of those helmets he wears when he's riding the girl's bike on Martha's Vineyard. He should also include his favorite piece of safety gear - the knee pad. While he's at it, he should throw in some of Michelle's school lunch MREs so we make sure the Ukranian's are getting 3 squares a day.
and let's not forget the strongly worded statements
Obama has warned Putin that if this keeps up, he's going to get very stern with him.
Can you please send the following as well: Ketchup, McCain, Reid and might as well add an Obozo.

I think the term "selfie" is more appropriate for a banker left alone with a nailgun in a garage.
What happened to the Spider-Man Towels and Goldman Condoms?
He won't send bombs but maybe their (Russia) power grid will start to crash.
The former soviet union can fix anything. A friend told me about there welders out in nomanlands. Just throw some heavy gauge wire over some high tension lines (27kv) and becareful where you walk. Boris can make use of anything with that power.
A friend told you that?
The Helmet Line Item reads "Mobile Latrine"
Don't Mind the Endless C17 Traffic, We have to get these sleeping bags to the people of Ukraine, Because their heaters don't work anymore. Yea Sleeping bags thats it. We are delivering the water filters with Strikers, How else are they supose to get to da people. Thanks Chucky!
He should also send some bug out bags and links to SHTF videos on youtube
As Celente would say: "Dey takin' us to wohhh!"
(And you're paying for it.)
Interesting how the west completely ignores the fact the the Ukrainian government is actually not a legitimate government at all. Goes to show how 'reality' is made up as we go. And the EU will wind up bailing out a country that is not even in the EU. How long can such BS continue you may ask...
Answer: As long as Putin lets the gas flow...
And used mom jeans
No danger as long as they sleep in the bag.
Now we know Canada's entire RCAF has been donated to Europe. Invade from Siberia while the defenses are down!
He's not sending healthcare plans because he's only sending NON-lethal aid
He should air drop ipods filled with all of of his greatest speeches
"By helping stoke the conflict Canada seeks to help drive a wedge between the EU and its current energy supplier"
I refuse to believe an oil producer would act in a way that benefits oil exports!
Carney just been on ,, explaining about the finances and the "cost to Russis"
Seems he has a devious plan to deduct the cost of the sleeping bags from the gazprom gas bill.
And not even tell them.
Not the helmet though, thats to bolster US GDP this next few weeks as it mght snow again.
Sleeping bags are made in China, got hem at a big discount so hes hoping to make a profit. cunning stuff

Have all of the pro-west Ukrainians sign up for Obamacare. Premiums can be paid later, or not at all, we don't care. But we need those enrollment numbers, and then Obammy can tell Putin to keep his stinkin hands off our free healthcare enrollees- and yes we know they aren't citizens, but hell. half the country ain't citizens so what difference does that make?. Then we send them all Obamaphones so they can call home when the tanks roll in.
Makes about as much sense as our current foreign policy du jour.
The U.S. reminds me of James Braddock in that boxing movie cinderella man. When our backs against the ropes we stage the unthinkable comback. Obama is a tiger. Get in there Obama and get em'. raaarrrrr.
... I tot I taw a Puddy Tat...
I'm guessing those are no-bid $28,000 sleeping bags made by a company owned by Harry Reid's sons.
Manufactured in China, of course.
O'bomber and Holder are saving the guns and ordnance for Mexican bandits?
Why not just provide them with white flags?
Ironically, Poland has the best armed forces in Europe now, not sure why they need propping up. Perhaps that no one takes them seriousley.

Thanks for the camping gear dumb ass. We'll sell it this weekend at the farmer's market. So how long do I get $50.00 a day? Oh and "Yeah!" for whatever side you say.
read the first page of comments but didn't see it. forgive me if I am repeating someone else, but here's some MATH for 5th Graders.
Johnny has $100 to buy bullets, guns, helmets and sleeping bags.
If Johnny spends $50 on helmets and sleeping bags, how much money does he have left to buy bullets and guns?
Now if Susy gives johnny the helmets and guns, then how much does Johnny have left to buy bullets and guns.
Now I know most would get this even before I started, but this line of non lethal aid is as much bullshit now as it was in Syria.
Unfortunately, it works very well on the general populace.
What no Obama authored books to the People? WTF?
