Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer made an appearance on the
Special Report All Star Panel last night to discuss the Obama
administration¹s lack of a proper response to the crisis in Ukraine. He
was asked by host Bret Baier to name two things that the President could
do right now ³that would change the equation.²
³Right now, you send the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, tonight, to Kiev ‹
not Geneva, to Kiev ‹ to discuss with the authorities urgent delivery
of weapons, defensive weapons, in case the Russians advance into
Ukraine, to Kiev,² Krauthammer said. ³Remember, Eastern Ukraine is not
as monolithically pro-Russian as Crimea wasŠ²
Krauthammer went on to note that if Russia does attempt to take Eastern Ukraine, there will be a fight.
And, for the longer run, [President Obama] should announce immediately a
renewal of the missile defense agreement with the Poles and the Czechs
because the only source of strength Russia ultimately has is its nuclear
arsenal. With a missile defense, it dissolves into insignificance.²
