RT — ‘We should absolutely consider lethal aid’ to Ukraine – US Gen. Martin Dempsey


Slouching toward hot war.
It’s the first time that the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, has spoken out in favor of supplying Kiev troops with American weapons. 
“I think we should absolutely consider lethal aid and it ought to be in the context of NATO allies because [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s ultimate objective is to fracture NATO,” AFP cited Dempsey, speaking to the Senate Armed Services Committee.
I can't think of a quicker way to fracture NATO than to force Europeans into a hot war with Russia that they don't want on top of sanctions that are hurting them economically while the US is increasing trade with Russia. Or they will just roll over and agree to be loyal vassal states to get some strokes from the emperor.

To me it looks like Gen. Dempsey is either stupid as a strategist or he is acting like a politician and not telling the truth. But maybe he knows that the Brits and Europeans are more submissive vassals than I think.

Fracture NATO ?

The Ukraine isn't part of NATO is it?

I'm going to assume that Dempsey is speaking for the Obama administration.

You just don't say something provocative like that without getting approval first, or else you'll end up like MacArthur.
